Cones are usually conical in shape, but there are also some types of cones that are wide and flattened. The conical leaves are arranged on a frame consisting of small [[bamboo]] slats bent into an [[Arch|arc]], pinned with thread, or silk or monofilament. The spokes are made into thin, small and supple bamboo sticks and then bent into [[Circle|circles]] of different diameters to form cones. All are arranged next to each other on a pyramidal mold.▼

▲To make a nón lá, the craftsman takes each leaf, flattens it, then cuts the top diagonally with scissors, then uses a needle to thread about 24-35 leaves together for one turn, then arrange them evenly on the hat mold. The conical leaves are thin and also easily damaged when it rains a lot, so the craftsmen took advantage of the dry bamboo sheath to make the layer between the two layers of conical leaves, making the hat both hard and durable.
== Classification ==
▲In the next stage, the craftsman takes the rope to tie the conical leaves that have been spread evenly on the mold with the hat frame and then they begin to sew. The worker puts the leaves on the side of the cone and then uses a wire and a sewing needle to make the hat into a pyramid. After forming, the hat is coated with a layer of varnish to increase durability and aesthetics (can add art decoration for hats used in art). In the middle of the 3rd and 4th spokes, the worker uses only two symmetrical pairs to tie the straps. Straps are usually made from velvet, soft silk, with many colors.
