- To create the hat top, on a sheet of black foam, draw two perpendicular lines 3 cm long going through the center of each other.
- Draw a circle around the plus sign.
- Next, to create the brim, draw a line 5cm long. On this line, mark points at 0, 1, 2.5, 4, and 5 cm.
- Create an identical line perpendicular to this one and running through its center.
- Draw a circle around the 0 and 5 cm points and 1 and 4 cm points.
- To create the hat's base we must know the circumference of the hat top. Circumference = 2πr = 2 * (3.14) * 3 cm = 9.42 cm.
- Draw a rectangle 9.4 cm long and 4 cm high.
- Cut out all components.
*Hat created based off a 5cm diameter head. May need to modify measurements if head larger or smaller in size.
- Bend the base into a cylinder and glue ends together slightly overlapping.
- Glue the brim to the base.

- One a piece of aluminum foil, draw a circle with a 3 cm diameter.
- Cut out circle.
- Glue on hat top.
- Add a shorter piece of copper tape on top of foil down onto the previous piece of copper tape along just the hat's length.
