Yarn Winter Hat Christmas Ornament | #25DaysofOrnaments | Christmas Project 2017

So this is day 2 of my #25DaysofOrnaments project. I am running a little late, Saturday chores and inertia kept me occupied. We went to Tesco for our weekly grocery shopping, and with the red and white decorations and holiday songs playing on loop, it is indeed beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Even our borough’s High Street has its Christmas market going on.

The craft of the day is Yarn Winter Hat Christmas Ornament. Needless to say, this one is easy as well. I love doing easy craft especially because then I can very well enjoy it with LittleB. Instead of just ‘my own thing,’ easy craft makes it ‘our mother-daughter thing.’

Without much further ado, here it is –

Yarn Winter Hat Christmas Ornament

You Will Need

Approximately 40 yarn strings of the colours of your choice (30 cm long)

One thick paper strip (22cm X 2.5cm)

A tissue paper sheet (One tissue paper sheet is made up of two layers of thin papers. Gently pull the layers apart to get two thin tissue papers)

Twine

Pair of scissors and glue

How to Go About It

Video Tutorial of the Craft

Picture and Step by Step Tutorial of the Craft

1. 

   1. Roll and glue the paper strip to make a ring. A big ring will give you a big ornament; a small ring will give you a small ornament. My ring is 5.5 cm in diameter.

   

   2. Take a yarn string and fold it in half.

   

   3. Take the folded yarn and starting from the bottom of the ring, run the yarn through the ring. The open ends of the yarn will be on top of the ring and the loop will be at the bottom.

   

   4. Pass the open ends through the loop and pull them down a bit tightly.

   

   5. Repeat the same with all the strings. Make sure that the strings are close to each other on the ring.

   

   5.

   

   6. When the entire ring is filled up, collect the hanging strings, twist them together and push them through to the other side of the ring.

   7. Take one of the two thin sheets of tissue paper. Crumple it lightly and stuff it inside the hat. This will give a little shape to the hat.

   

   8. Hold all the yarn together and tightly tie it all up using another string of yarn. 9. Crumple the other tissue paper and stuff it in the hat to give the hat better shape. 10. Trim the ends to make them equal in length.

   

   11. Tie a twine string and the ornament is ready to hang.
