Materials for the Akatsuki hat:

4 thin cardboard cards to make the skeleton of the hat (they can be any color)

1kg crafts glue (no color/ transparent)

3 thin cardboards (light wood color/light brown), these will be used to cover the bottom of the hat and cut out the long strips for the upper part of the hat (straw like strips)

32 strips of white cloth (Approximately, 52 cm long and 3 cm wide) (Not cotton, since this material makes it hard to work around with).

You will need one pen, that doesn’t write (no ink). This is to make lines on the wood color strips, that will go on the top side of the hat. (This will make them more realistic).

A stapler, to staple on the white strips, which will hang from the hat.

A 12 x 12 square of black thin cardboard.

Materials for the décor:
Cold porcelain, red coloring, a small bell (like the ones for Xmas), red thread, wire, and a small wire ring.

Procedure:

1. To arm the skeleton, take 4 thin cardboards, and cut out a circle with a diameter of 48 cm out of the 4 of them. Glue with the craft glue each circle one on top of the other and let dry for one day.

(Recommendation: put all the glued circles on a table and put many heavy books on top, to make sure they stick well).

Once they are dry, with a scissor, make one cut from the edge to the center.
(The cut has to be around some 24cm from edge to center).

2. We take one of the edges; from the now cut circles, under the other to give it a hat shape. (One edge under the other to form a cone shape). Then we glue the two pieces with the craft glue.

3. Now we take the light brown/light wood color, and cut it into a circle of 50 cm in diameter. We cut into it around 25 cm. (Equivalent to the radius of the circle).

4. We glue the thin cardboard (brown/wood color) to the other cardboards giving shape and support to the hat (cone shape/skeleton of the hat). Like in the pictures, the two pieces of cardboard (skeleton and wood color one) have to be coinciding, and there should be an excess on the edge of around 1 cm from the wood color thin cardboard.

5. With the pencil, you will trace a guide line of around 6cm from the edge of the circle, like the image shows (the line goes inside the hat). That line will serve as a guide to lineup the white strips, when the time comes to glue them in place. Sketch out this line paralleled to the entire border of the hat, but leave a part untraced. (This space will be where the face will be, so you don’t wanna cover it with the white strips).

6. Cut the strips for the hat, simulating the straw on the actual Akatsuki hat. The correct longitude of the strips is 25 cm, but like always, there could be an unexpected difference when gluing them on, so they should be 27cm long. Now, the strips have to matchup with the inferior border of the thin cardboard of wood color, which we glued on the bottom part of the skeleton and the superior border of the strips have to coincide exactly with the vertex of the cone. (With no excess to any of the strips). Since the strips are 27cm, there will surely be a little excess on top, so simply cut off the leftover parts of the strips and done. With the pen that doesn’t write (no ink) and a ruler, make many discontinued lines to each strip. Like mentioned before, this is to make the strips look more realistic, like actual straw strips.

WAIT DON’T GLUE THEM!!! There is another step missing XD

7. The next step is to glue on the white strips. We glue on the first 2cm of the strip and using the stapler, we staple on the strips to the hat, using the line previously made inside as a guide.

8. Before gluing on the wood color strips, we cut small pieces of wood color thin cardboard (no matter the measurements) and start sticking them with the craft glue on the border that sticks out of the wood color that we glued on the bottom of the skeleton. This is to strengthen the border of the hat and that it doesn’t get damaged easily. Once we have finally glued all the edges of the hat, we can begin to glue on the wood color strips.

9. You may begin to glue the wood color/light brown strips to the top of the hat, parallel to each other and overlapping the edges of each other. The 12 x 12 square then goes on the peak of the cone (the hat). The excess edges of the brown strips will be cut off. Lastly, the strips will be glued on to the hat, securing them in place.
Now, all that is missing is the red décor that hangs from the hat. You can use cold porcelain or a similar material like clay, but each material is worked differently

La puedo traducir al inglés, e hice un borrador para ver si podia... pero del paso 8 al 9 los términos son muy técnicos y no creo que sean muy claros para el que desea hacer este sombrero. Jeje, parecia que estaba traduciendo un ejercicio de geometría!! lol pero ps si deseas la traducción de los materiales hasta paso 8 los puedo enviar. =/
