Mini Hats - Simple Christmas Crafts

When I saw these wee hats for the first time, immediately I thought that I have to do this for me- it's so sweet. Hats are quite easy and you can do with your kids. 

To make a mini hat you need:
1. Scissors
2. Toilet paper or paper towel tube
3. Measuring tape or ruler
4.  Yarn

• flatten your paper tube, measure sections that are 3 of an cm wide, and then cut,
• cut yarn, fold each piece in half and cut as many as you possibly can,
• slip the loop from one strand of yarn through a paper tube. Loop it around the two ends and pull tight,
• keep going all the way around the tube,
• now squish all those strands through the tube, have just formed the brim of the hat,

• using one of spare strands of yarn tie a double knot about an cm from the brim,
• trim the loose strands to form a puffball,

Done! Pretty cute, right?

The Sweet Clouds for Your Child's Room. DIY

Recently I see that the decorations in the shape of clouds are very popular. I love this shape, as I love the sky with clouds. Beautiful clouds are in the Netherlands. Once I thought that only the Dutch painters painted it, but it's true there are amazing clouds. Currently I live in beautiful Scotland, but I was a little wistfully behind that clouds.
