1920s: Pattern for a crepe paper hat

First you have to cut the crepe paper into strips.  The instructions say
“The paper may be cut in various widths from ½ in to 1½ in. [1 cm to 3.5 cm, approx.]  The wider papers naturally make a heavier straw and are more suitable for Winter Hats than the lighter ones.”
Stretch and draw the strip through the lightly closed hand.”
It is a great improvement to add a small ornament to the front of the hat.”
Hats may be waterproofed by painting with Dennison Wax dissolved in methylated spirit.”
