The Cone Head

The Cone Head

The picture below makes me think I should have a fishing rod and be sitting by a pond as a gnome.

A piece of paper wrapped into a cone and held together with a couple of pieces of sellotape needs no origami skills.  

The cone can be painted, a brim added to make it into a witches hat, a D put on front for dunces cap, good fun for very young kids or quick fancy dress wear.

As you can tell I spent nearly a minute making this hat.

Tin Foil Hat

The Tin Foil Hat

Almost every house must have a roll of aluminium foil, it needs no skill to make, just drop a large enough piece on your head and shape, if it does fit add more.

The idea of the tin foil hat is it protects your mind against electromagnetic radiation, mind control and mind reading.

To have any effect against any form of electromagnetic radiation it would need to be in several hundred layers, probably need to be built up to a couple of inches thick, as to the need, well we all live fine without them.

The use against Alien mind probes, Govemenent telepaths is of course just rubbish conspiracy theorist and probably a result of popular science fiction books and literature.

The Walking Sock Hat

 The Walking Sock Hat

 The sock hat was headwear used by pirates, basically a knitted beanie but this uses an old walking sock stretched over your head.

The end of the sock was tied in a knot in the photo below and is quite a comfortable hat, I would almost be tempted to wear it in public.

Plus you can get 2 hats out of a pair of socks, or use that odd sock that has lost its significant other.

Towel Turban

The Towel Turban 

Basically, wrap a towel around your head in any way that works, rolling and tucking bits in until it holds firm

The is a practical way to dry your hair faster if you still have any.
