Charming decorative little caps that resemble touching little things for children are very useful for the winter holidays, and can serve as an interior decoration, a small gift or even a Christmas tree decoration. The manufacturing process of such a hat can be mastered quite quickly, and even used for classes in labor lessons.
For work we will prepare: a round plastic bottle, bright yarn, scissors, decorative elements (rhinestones, beads, buttons, etc.).
We cut off the plastic bottle in a circle, we get a closed ring. The width of the plastic strip is 1 cm. If the bottle is large in diameter (1.5 - 2 liter capacity), then the ring must be cut into two identical semicircles, which are connected into a ring and the ends are fixed with tape to get a circle of smaller diameter.
We select bright yarn from skeins of thread that you have left from previous projects, and lay idle, but you might not need them at all. The yarn can be used in various thicknesses and textures: thin, thick, boucle, sectionally colored, you can use the thread after the dissolution of things, even if they are not solid.
We cut the thread into identical fragments, each segment should be 15 - 20 cm. Then we fold it in half, thread a loop through a plastic ring and tighten the thread.
If the threads are thin, then we use not one thread, but a whole strand. In the same way, we collect the threads around the entire circumference of the ring tightly placing them to each other.
We get a ring with fixed threads. Then we collect the threads in a bundle and poke inside the ringlet, straighten the ends. The bottom of the cap is ready.
We form a pompon. To do this, we tie the ends of the threads with an additional thread, tightly tighten and cut the ends. We cut the threads knocking out of the pompom, getting a round fluffy cap on the top of the cap.
If the length of the yarn fragments turned out to be shorter than 20 cm, then the hat will turn out to be single-layer, for the pompom you do not need to twist the threads inside the ring, just pull the threads in a knot. We use threads of different colors to make the hat more elegant.
Beanies began to decorate. We use small rhinestones, buttons, beads that are found in your chest for needlework.
It remains only to tie a thread, for which a miniature hat can be hung on a spruce branch, if you want to make a Christmas toy out of it.
