Ayo Membuat CAPING PETANI

(Let’s make a Javanese Farmer’s

Hat)

by Ibu Tiana

1. We need: wide paper (white or coloured), sticky

tape, a stapler, a pair of scissors, a pencil, a glue, a

big round basket.

2. Use the round washing basket as a template

3. Draw a big circle on the paper.

4. We will need: 1 big circle and 4 long strips to

make CAPING.

5. Cut the circle and all strips.

6. Use 2 strips of paper to make a headband.

It should fit snuggly around the head.

7. Put the third strip over the ‘headband’ and

staple each end on the headband.

8. Put the fourth strip across the top of the third

strip (to make a ‘cross’) then staple each end

on the headband.

9. The inside part of the head is nearly ready.

10. Snip the top part of the headband. This will

allow flexibility when we attach it to the hat.

11. Carefully fold in the snipped parts.

12. The inside part is now ready.

13. Now, fold the circle in 4.

14. Open up the fold and cut along the dotted line.

15. Cover ¼ of the circle (or more) with glue.

16. Make a cone shaped hat.

17. Sticky tape the inside join.

18. Put the ‘inside part’ we prepared before under

the cone shaped hat.

19. Press it down gently. Using sticky tape

pieces, attach ‘the cross’ under the cone shaped

hat.

20. Sticky tape the ‘snipped parts’ of the

headband under the ‘cone’

21. Use enough sticky tape but it is not necessary to

sticky tape all the snipped parts under ‘the cone’.

22. Our CAPING is ready to decorate and wear.
