    Use a resistive voltage divider.

    Note: If you add a load to the output of a resistive divider, the voltage will drop below the calculated value. If you need a stable output voltage with load current, you need a voltage regulator.

    Alternately for a quick and dirty you can use a few diodes (or a single diode) in series that add up to the proper voltage drop you need at the current you will be pulling...

    Without regulator: If the input changes, the output hanges, too.
