We make an origami cap
Origami usually uses square sheets of paper. If you didn’t find such, it's okay, we’ll do it ourselves. Take a regular sheet of A4 size, bend one corner so that you get a triangle. Cut out protruding parts with scissors.
We do not expand the triangle; we continue to work with it. Visually divide the sheet into three equal sections. Fold the sides to the center. Bend up the protruding corners. So the flat cap for the birthday is ready. How to make it voluminous? Just open the cap with your hand, as if flattening the corners to the center.
