Anyone have a good pattern for making a TIN FOIL HAT?

[revree]

I really want one. I plan to wear it around the 'hood to freak out my conservative neighbors.

2. Here ya go....

1 Get a five foot sheet of aluminum foil (standard one foot wide Reynolds Wrap brand will do nicely.)


2 Fold the sheet four times into five equal segments so that you end up with a 1x1 foot square, making sure that you fold over the dull side of the foil leaving the square shiny on both sides.


3 Use scissors to cut from one corner of the square to the center, making a straight line.


4 Bend the foil from one side of the cut under the other, making a slight cone. Again, make sure that the outside of the cone has a shiny side of the foil; this is VERY important.



5 Place the cone on your head and squash the top and sides to make it fit snugly.



6 Apply Scotch tape liberally making sure to secure the cut in the foil and any form-fitting creases made in step 5.



7 Use more tape to secure AFDB to your cranium.

3. Here are a couple from the internets

Be creative, and what a good idea to use their symbolism against them, brilliant. Maybe a "thing" will start here. You know, the thing they hate the most ? Other than not having power that is, is RIDICULE.

I'm making one also, thanks !

5. NO - Aluminum is a magnifier for "their" mind reading rays

6. You could start with the pattern for a printer's hat

Or for somewhat clearer directions, see http://www.rny.com/fun/presshat.html

I'd suggest using a newspaper base for strength and flexibility and adding a single sheet of foil in such a way that it wraps around the outside as you fold.
