With just half a newspaper you can fold India’s National cap. It is also called as the Nehru cap or the GANDHI cap. Take a single sheet of newspaper and fold it into half. On the top crease fold a strip. Open and push this strip to make a channel – a ‘V’ shaped channel or a gutter. Fold a skewed triangle to the right and then to the left. Fold the bottom edge twice over. Now upturn the paper and again fold two skewed triangles – one to the left and the other to the right. Shut the two doors. The amount you fold depends on the size of your head. Once again fold the bottom edge twice over and tuck the flaps in the pockets. This would be the lock. 
The cap is now ready. You can spread it out. Now open and wear the GANDHI cap. This work was supported by IUCAA and Tata Trust.
