These winter hat ornaments are easy to make and if you already have some yarn on hand, they cost next to nothing to make. They're the perfect craft for holiday parties or family time.
Materials:
*Yarn
*Toilet paper tube (or cardstock)
*Ruler
*Scissors
*Pom pom (needed for one technique, but not the other)
*All purpose adhesive (needed for one technique, but not the other)
Directions:
*Cut a 1/2" tall ring from the toilet paper tube. If you don't have an empty toilet paper roll handy, cut off a 1/2" thick strip of cardstock and glue or tape the ends together such that the cardstock forms a ring with about the same diameter as a toilet paper tube.
*Cut off a 10" length of yarn and fold it in half.
*Insert the yarn into the ring such that the loop pokes out from the bottom of the ring like this:
*Slide the ends of the yarn through the loop like this:
*Pull tight so you end up with something like this:
*Repeat until the ring is full:
*Cut off another piece of yarn and tie it around the other strands of yarn like this:
*Turn the other way:
*To finish, glue on a pom pom.
Alternate Technique
*Once you have finished tying on all the pieces of yarn, flip the other way.
*Cut off an additional length of ribbon and tie around the hat.
*Trim above the place where you tied the additional piece of yarn to create the pom pom shape.
