We have been meaning to do this for years and this year we finally got it done.
We love making our own Christmas decorations, adding more unique designs each year (what a fun tradition).
Mini beanie ornament
What you need:
- paper rolls (toilet paper rolls, kitchen paper rolls, etc.)
- multicoloured yarn – we recommend something that isn’t too expensive – we like this multicoloured set (I think it’s great value and you get a lot of beautiful colours) or this colour changing yarn set. However, if you want something magical, check out this colour (not cheap but oh my!)
- drag
- tissue paper
Start by cutting the yarn into individual strands.
You will need a lot of thread, all of the same length, the length depends on the width of the roll – so you will have to find the perfect length for yourself.
You can start by cutting 1 strand and experimenting.
Cut the roll of paper, you only need a thin “ring”.
“Fold” the yarn in half and push the “loop” side through the paper roll.
Now take the other end and “fold” it over the roll of paper and into the loop. Pull to form a knot.
Rinse and repeat until the entire roll is covered with yarn.
Once everything is covered, you will need to push the yarn through the roll of paper.
I find the easiest way to do this is to “twist” all the threads and push them through.
Make a small ball out of tissue paper.
Push it into the paper roll – this will help you get the perfect hat shape and hold the yarn tight.
Now all that’s left to do is tie a knot around the thread to get a nice hat shape and trim the tassel to get a nicer shape.
Happy crafting!
If you want to display these mini beanie ornaments as Christmas tree ornaments, tie some yarn under the pom pom and form a circle.
