Abstract
A novelty pop-up hat includes a brim portion, an open crown portion and a plurality of slits in the edge of the brim portion, for conforming the hat to the shape of the head. Decorative shapes extend from the inner perimeter of the brim so that the decorations stand substantially vertically when the hat is worn. In a preferred embodiment, a hat is cut in an oval shape from a flat sheet of foamed plastic material, and a substantially circular opening is cut toward one end forming a headband at the back of the head and a visor to shade the face. The hat is made by a diecutting method from a single piece of foamed plastic or other material.
