I've made patterns out of paper towels (don't enlarge the patterns, just
use them the size they are) and make a few of each piece. Then try to put
the hat together to look the way the picture does. Paper towels are softer
and more malable than regular paper and will move more like fabric than
copy paper. Just play with it until it works.
