Method 1
Method 1 of 3:
Making the Shirt

With the front of the bill facing down, fold each long edge to the center of the bill.Advertisement -
At the short left edge, fold the white tips of the bill under the bill. -
Take the two corners that you folded in the previous step and fold each corner toward the center of the bill to form the collar of the shirt. -
Fold the bill into thirds lengthwise, starting at the opposite end of the collar. -
Finish folding the bill into thirds. It should be able to tuck under the collar. -
Unfold the end of the bill. At the 1/3 mark opposite the collar, pull the creases so they are creased the opposite way. This makes the sleeves of the shirt. -
With the sleeves still poking out, refold the bill into thirds. -
