After all, first to get your hand in how to make a cap, you can practice and "donate" new things to soft toys of your children. Or they will practice themselves! By the way, here's part of the New Year costume for you! It turns out as in the proverb, about the sleigh, that they are prepared in the summer!
Buckless Paper
The most convenient material from which you should start your profession is "couturier" - paper. It is a lot in every house where there are children. And the rest of the consumables are: pencils and paints, glue, scissors. And now more about how to make a cap. First, measure the circumference of your sailor's head. Use the tailor's centimeter. If it does not exist - a piece of thread, lace, ribbon, etc. The main thing - this is the correct measure, so that then the cap does not slip the boy to the forehead. The next step is how to make a cap of cardboard (this is the kind of material we will apply) - cut out of it a strip of the appropriate length plus 1 cm for gluing. Its width is 5-7 centimeters. It turns out the blank for the band. Fix the ends overlapping with a paper clip, using a stapler or glue. By the diameter of the finished ring, only by increasing it by 3 centimeters, cut the bottom of the cap. Make cuts on it at the same distance from each other. Gently bend them inside. With the basic preparations you have consulted!
Finishing work
And then there are the details - how to make the sailor's cap comfortable and attractive. A choker, he's a tulle, should not rub his forehead. To do this, proceed as follows. Using a glue or a stapler, connect the notches of the bottom of the cap to the base. Check the strength. Now a strip of soft cloth from the inside edge the cap. You can do the same operation with the bottom. Outside, paint it the way you want. Draw an emblem, come up with an inscription. And do not forget about ribbons with anchors! Having finished work, hand in solemnly to the little son a new thing, having dedicated it to the rank of a young man. And happy swimming on the seas of games and recreation!
Cloak of cloth
Another lesson is how to make a cap with your own hands out of cloth. More precisely, how to sew it. Of the auxiliary materials you will need: a five-liter bottle of plastic (empty, of course), a small piece of cloth (black, dark brown, blue or burgundy, most importantly - bright) about 65 to 35 cm. A strip of satin or silk of the same color, width of centimeters 7. Another white material (55 by 105 cm), a dense fabric gasket of the same size. Golden paper or brocade for finishing. And PVA tube glue.
Procedure
The first thing you need to do is again to remove the child's head size. From the bottle, by its diameter, cut an even strip no wider than 7 cm. Using the stapler again, connect the ends, and put the ring on the son and measure the diameter so that the forehead is not squeezed, and so that the future capper does not slip too deeply. Superfine cut, leaving only 1 cm to reconnect the edges of the strip. Measuring its length, calculate the inner and outer radii for the pattern of the bottom of the cap. To do this, remember the school years and the formula. The radius is internal: R = L: 2π, where the "pi" is 3.14. The outer radius is calculated as follows: internal + 7 centimeters. Next, do the patterns. You should get a band (according to the strip from the bottle). Do it from a dark fabric, wrap the plastic, secure it. Then the crown: it is cut out of white material, leaving allowances on the seams. Insert the gasket, cut another circle, glue it. Well, the bottom: also white cloth, leave a centimeter on the seams. Insert the gasket and glue another layer of matter. It remains to combine all the details, first carefully gently striking them and trying on the product. From satin or silk, cut sailor ribbons. Decorate their tips with golden paper, carving out small anchors. From it, cut out, first circling the letters through the stencil, the name of the ship for the cap. Glue them on the trunk, anchors - on the tape. If the cap sits on the baby comfortably, squirt its elements "nabelo", smooth out the seams. And let your baby is happy and satisfied!
