Paper hat templates: party cone, chef's hat, pirate hat

A paper hat is printed flat, cut out and closed around a head with a band or tape. These nine pictures give three shapes: a party cone with holes for the elastic, a chef's hat with a pleated headband, and a pirate tricorne made in two halves. Each comes as black line art, printed colour and a children's sheet. Type another hat, such as a cowboy hat or bunny ears, and the flat layout stays the same.

• a costume for a school play
• a dress-up day at school
• a hat for a cooking or a pirate theme

Frequently asked questions

What do the nine pictures show?

Flat hat templates in three shapes, a party cone, a chef's hat and a pirate hat, each in three styles.

How do I close the hat around a head?

The party cone has holes for the elastic. The chef's hat has a strip of tape marked where its ends join, and the pirate hat joins at the sides.

Which style suits small children?

The children's activity sheet has thick outlines and bright colour, which suits small hands.

Can I ask for a different hat?

Yes, type a hat such as a cowboy hat. That is a request, and the shape may differ from the sample.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
