Boys - lovers to investigate the most incredible mysteries. Often they see themselves in the role of firefighters, rescue workers and, of course, the police. In the carnival costume of a policeman one of the main attributes is necessarily included - this is a police cap. You can do it yourself at home. But for this you need to work a little. If the matinee is expected soon, you can make a paper cap, it will not last long. A cap from a fabric can be useful more than once, it can be used repeatedly on holidays with dressing up.

Parts of the cap

Any cap is not just a hat. It has a special structure, and each part in it is called in its own way. The police cap has the following components:

• Bottom of it. This part of the cap is on top and occupies the largest part of the entire product. The bottom closes the head and is, perhaps, one of the main elements of a headdress.
• Band. Otherwise, this detail can be called the rim of the cap. The rim supports the bottom by means of a crown, which is located between the bottom and the rim. Cockades are placed on the rim. Historically, the cockade is a symbol of power, it is located in the middle of the band, where a person has a frontal part.
• The crown. As already noted above, this is the part of the "cap" that covers the head, there is a crown between the bottom and the band. On the crown above the cockade, there are also decals, more often it is the coat of arms.
• Quarter. Actually the crown consists of quarters.
• Visor. Each cap has a visor that has both a protective function and an aesthetic one. Without a visor a cap will not be a cap.
• Chin strap. In modern caps, the strap is made in the form of chains or braided cords and does not carry the function of the holder, as it was on real Cossack headgear.

We cut out a cap

In order to sew the product with your own hands, for work you will need a pattern of a police cap. First you need to determine the size of the head. The circumference can be determined with a measuring tape.

To draw a circle on a sheet or cardboard, the circle should be divided by 3.14, then add 4. Get the radius of the circle. A circle is cut and four more details of a semicircular shape for quarters. The inner radius is found by subtracting eight from the outer radius. Cutting around the band, keep in mind that its volume must also be equal to this volume. To him must leave 2 centimeters for allowances. Also need detail for the visor. Make it a semicircular shape, 3 cm wide.

How to sew a police cap for a child

Next, proceed to the sewing itself. The pattern must be applied to the prepared fabric. The police cap is usually black. Transfer all parts to the fabric. For drawing on dark material it is convenient to use chalk for a tailor. Cut out all the elements. It is necessary to sew all four pieces with a circle. The rim is stitched into a ring and inside is reinforced with an insert made of plastic, cardboard, elastic band or elastic tape. In the middle of the band are decorated with decorative elements. A policeman's cap, made by hand, is almost ready.

Then you need to sew the details of the visor with the band. So that the visor fits into its place, it looks exactly, make the marking of the places for sewing in advance. This part of the work can be called the most responsible. If the visor is crooked, then the whole product will skew and will look just ugly. The final step is to stitch around the bottom of the cap. The connecting part will serve as a crown. She already laid in parts of the pattern. The product must be turned out and sewn around the band to the inside. Cap ready. It remains to decorate it with interlaced ribbons, attach them in place chin strap. Set the cockade.

Police cap with paper

To build a cap from paper with their own hands is not difficult. You will need white thick paper or colored thin cardboard, glue, pencil and scissors. As a pattern, you can take as a basis for the pattern already presented above. First glue around the band. It should be tight and keep well around the circumference of the head. After that attach to the base of the crown. It should be slightly different in height, higher in front, lower back. At the top of the crown it is necessary to leave 1 cm in order to bend this allowance and glue the cap of the cap to it. For convenience, the folded edges can be cut into teeth. The bottom is neatly glued. By cutting a visor out of paper, you can also cut teeth in the inner semicircle on the blank. They will allow you to accurately paste the part, do not crumple it and place it more accurately. Before sticking, make a markup on the band. Do not forget about the decorative elements. A police cap made of paper is prepared quickly and simply, but will not last long. Enough for one event, because in a funny dance among children there are a lot of funny cases.

There is another difference. In the summer, seamen wear white caps, unlike military and police officers, whose headwear is not changed all year round.

In recent years, we have to admit that a modern backdoor by consumer goods significantly heaps people’s everyday creative beginnings. But the approach to the multivariate use of products and objects, seemingly one-time use, is fully justified and traditional.

Let's try to recall one of the most interesting, but lost technologies ...

We will visually consider an example of how to make a headdress from a newspaper. Moreover, it is not a trivial Malar triangle or “cowboy hat”, but a stylish paper cap (cap, cap, shako, finally ...)

For the manufacture of this headgear will need a newspaper of a large standard format - A1, folded in half. In the above example, this is “Omskaya Pravda” No. 80 for 1991. Nowadays, newspapers, in their advantage, are being published in a smaller, more readable format, but if archival materials were not at hand, find modern large-sized periodicals.

So:
  1. Put the newspaper on a flat comfortable surface. The newspaper is fully expanded to the first fold (fold).

2. We make two diagonal folds along the already bent edge from the edges to the center.

3. The edge of the newspaper protruding from the bottom of the formed triangle is twisted into two folds.

4. Similarly, the second edge.
  Work has been done to create the base of the headdress. From this stage, you can proceed to the manufacture of the “cocked hats” and “cowboy hats” mentioned at the beginning of the topic. But we will leave it for self-study and continue with the "cap" ...

5. We return one of the lower rectangles back - down one turn: from it a visor will be formed. The second rectangle will be the carrying rim "cap" - okolysh. Now the key point: we reduce the right and left corners of our “triangle” to the center and thereby form the size of the headgear. For an adult, the edges that are closed are only slightly overlapped. Just in case, you can do a preliminary fitting at this stage.
