Apparently, I don’t know how to follow simple instructions. At least that’s the only conclusion I can possibly reach after going through whole sections of the newspaper to try to properly fold a pressman’s hat.
[Pressmen used to fashion the hats out of newspaper to keep the ink that spewed out of the presses from getting into their hair.]
Anyway, hungry for a craft, I started folding my paper on the train as soon as I saw the how-to graphic in today’s Chicago Tribune (good luck finding an online link).
When my multiple attempts failed, I ventured beyond the Trib to find more detailed instructions. The iFarmer found a nice step-by-step in the Detroit Free Press. But, sadly, the video links had been removed.
If anyone can demonstrate the proper folding to me…I’ll be in your debt.
Meanwhile, I’ll give it another try at some point (with the “easy” cartoon instructions), maybe when I’m feeling a little better. This frigid weather finally got to me this evening.
