Feeling festive and in need of some decoration ideas? Well, I’m not very good at that, but thankfully, some super creative people on the internet love to share their ideas. So check out this amazing tutorial from Handimania if you’re tired of the usual, generic ornaments. With some toilet paper and yarn, you can create adorable little yarn hats (or toques if you’re from Canada, eh?).
So here’s what you’re gonna do. Take a toilet paper roll and squeeze it down to “half” it. Place a ruler lengthwise along the center of the roll, and use a pencil to make marks every two centimeters apart. Now use scissors to cut at these marks, so you end up with five small cardboard rings.
Cut about 30-40 pieces of 25cm long yarn. Fold each string in half, loop them around the cardboard ring (watch the video closely to see how it’s done) until you cover the entire ring. This is the brim of your hat! Next, take all the hanging strings, twist them, and loop them through the ring, so they are now on the other side.
Repeat the same for the other half. Once that’s done, take one more string and tie it around all the loose strands, about halfway of their length. Cut off the excess ends, leaving a cute little poof ball on the top of your hat! But make sure to leave one strand long in case you want to hang it somewhere. Ta-da! How adorable are these?
