#1 - I've been trying to usurp the pontiff for months now, but his pesky Swiss Guard keep an incredibly strict watch over his quarters. Now I can sneak past in my new hat and they'll never know it's not JP2. I shall now control millions of souls! Chortle! Thanks gauntlet.

#7 - This was an awesome hat plan, but even with A3 size paper, the hat was too small to effectively wear. In the morning I'll try with A2 or even A1.

Thanks.

#8 - Step 5 is a bit misleading, I thought it meant only fold it in as far as the flaps, not fold the whole side in half, it took me a while to figure out.

#9 - Awesome hat design. I did it with a standard letter size paper, but it's way too small to wear. I then made a sheet of duct tape 24" x 31" and used the folding instructions. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

#19 - I think the easiest pope hat to make is with an overnight mailing envelope. These are usually made of tyvek, so they don't tear.

All you do is turn the envelope inside out so that inside is on the outside, and the outside is on the inside. Then if you squash in the long sides while pushing down the center of the closed end, the original corners become the points on the top of the mitre. If you've done it right, the creases that were the top and bottom edge of the envelope are actually in the front and back of the hat where the point is the highest. I have even used the bubble envelopes for a cool effect.

#20 - I am not pleased. God shall smite the creators of these instructions. They are not popely at all!

May God be with you (except for the stupid people who tried to explain this).
