Then flip this over and rotate it 180 degrees so the bottom is at the top. You should have something resembling the drawing in Stage F now. Now fold this in half, creating a crease in the origami and then unfold once this is done. Then rotate your paper craft 180 degrees and open it up by gently pushing at the sides. After this, flatten it on its side, as shown in Stage I (doesn’t matter which side). Then fold the top down towards the bottom on both sides and then turn it 180 degrees for the final time. Moving on to Stage L, gently pull down the outside flaps (make sure to leave the inside ones alone). You should have your own cowboy hat (see Stage L).
