2. Stand the cucumber sections up, and cut each section in half to make the top of the hat.
3. Cut the other ½ cucumber into thin strips that are a little longer than the cucumber sections to make the brim of the hat.
4. Cut the pepper into 6 small squares.
5. Cut the cheese into 6 thin strips.
6. Take one cucumber section, one strip of cheese, one cucumber strip, and one pepper square to form a hat.
