An article, comprising:

• a hat made by forming at least one sheet of material into a predetermined shape for receiving an object, wherein the hat comprises
• a base having a closed lower end and an open upper end with an object opening extending therethrough,
• wherein folds are formed in the sheet of material whereby the formed hat is flexible and may be substantially flattened and then unflattened to assume the original shape of the formed hat without substantial loss of the preformed shape thereby providing the flexible yet shape-sustaining nature of the formed hat,
• wherein the forming of the hat is accomplished by forming a portion of the sheet of material into a plurality of folds to form the base of the hat, said folds cooperating to retain the hat in both the flexible and formed shape,
• wherein the base is able to stand upright on the closed lower end thereof.

An article, comprising:

• a hat one sheet of material into a predetermined shape for receiving an object, wherein the hat comprises
• a base having a closed lower end and an open upper end with an object opening extending therethrough,
• wherein folds are formed in the sheet of material, a substantial portion of the folds extending over different distances and at various and arbitrary angles, whereby thee formed hat is flexible and may be substantially flattened and then unflattened to assume the original shape of the formed hat without substantial loss of the preformed shape thereby providing the flexible yet shape-sustaining nature of the formed hat,
• wherein the forming of the hat is accomplished by forming a portion of the sheet of material into a plurality of folds to form the base of the hat, said folds cooperating to retain the hat in both the flexible and formed shape,
• wherein the base is able to stand upright on the closed lower end thereof.

An article, comprising:

• a hat made by forming at least one sheet of material into a predetermined shape for receiving an object, wherein the hat comprises
• a base having a closed lower end and an open upper end with an object opening extending therethrough, a bonding means disposed on at least a portion of the hat,
• wherein folds are formed in the sheet of material whereby the formed hat is flexible and may be substantially flattened and then unflattened to assume the original shape of the formed hat without substantial loss of the preformed shape thereby providing the flexible yet shape-sustaining nature of the formed hat,
• wherein the forming of the hat is accomplished by forming a portion of the sheet of material into a plurality of folds to form the base of the hat, said folds cooperating to retain the hat in both the flexible and formed shape,
• wherein the base is able to stand upright on the closed lower end thereof.

An article, comprising:

• a hat made by forming at least one sheet of material into a predetermined shape for receiving an object, wherein the hat comprises
• a base having a closed lower end and an open upper end with an object opening extending therethrough, the base comprising a decorative border extending outward from the open upper end of the base,
• wherein folds are formed in the sheet of material whereby the formed hat is flexible and may be substantially flattened and then unflattened to assume the original shape of the formed hat without substantial loss of the preformed shape thereby providing the flexible yet shape-sustaining nature of the formed hat,
• wherein the forming of the hat is accomplished by forming a portion of the sheet of material into a plurality of folds to form the base of the hat, said folds cooperating to retain the hat in both the flexible and formed shape,
• wherein the base is able to stand upright on the closed lower end thereof.
