How to make a Winter Hat Beanie Ornaments

These make for cute little gift ornaments. I grew up making these for Christmas every year.

Here is the list of things you will need: 
Toilet paper roll
Scissors
Scotch tape
Yarn

1.You take a empty toilet paper roll and cutting it in about a finger with wide ring (Just bending the circle toilet paper roll down and cutting across the width ).

2. Use scotch tape and tape around the rings give it little more strength for the yarn.




3. Cut the yarn into about 5 inch strips.

4. Fold the ends together and place yarn into the ring. Take your middle finger and ring finger through the loop. Pull the ends of the strings through your loop.





5. Continue step 4 until the loop is completely covered

6. When the ring is completely covered, pull in all the "tails" or loose string dangling at the bottom . Pull tails through the center of the paper ring.


7. Cut a separate strip of yarn about 5 -6 inches and go about a inch high from the brim of the ring and tie all those loose tails together with the single strip of yarn. Make a knot with your single strip that's holding your tails in tightly.



8. This will now form a hat. Tie the other end of your single strip of yarn to complete the ornament hanger.










9. Go about a inch from where you tied your tails and cut off the extra tail ends. This now will look as if your beanie had a ball top.
10. Place all the extra yarn in a ball and stuff in the center of your hat to help puff it up.
