First, take a toilet paper roll and fold it a bit for easier measuring.
Take a triangle and measure off 1.8 cm/ 0.7 inch wide rings.
Prepare as many paper rings as the number of hats you want to make. You’ll get five rings from one paper roll :)
Now, take your yarn scraps and using a triangle, measure off 35 cm/14 inch long parts.
You can use every color you like, but remember that some yarns are easier to work with than the others. I advise you to choose the one that is not too thick and fluffy.You can use every color you like, but remember that some yarns are easier to work with than the others. I advise you to choose the one that is not too thick and fluffy.
Fold piece of yarn in half and place it inside the ring. Keep the ends and a loop on the other sides of the ring.Pull the ends thru the loop to make a slip knot enclosing the ring.
Continue until the layer of yarn on the paper ring is thick enough to cover it completely.
Now, divide the ends in two parts and pull them separately thru to the other side of the ring.
Pull the yarn and dispose it evenly inside the strip.
Take a piece of yarn and tie it around the rest of threads to form the pom-pom part.
Trim the yarn to get a round and fluffy pom. Don’t trim the thread you used for tying if you want to hang your hat.

Learn how to crochet gorgeous tiny hearts with this video tutorial

VERTICAL RUN STITCHING: (in Russian still yo'll get the gist)




CORD HEARTS:


HORIZONTAL HEART STRINGS:


It takes 21 stitches for a five-heart strand: from the third chain stitch, do 2 double crochets, 1 single chain stitch, 1 slip stitch, 1 single chain stitch, and then 2 double crochets. Skip a chain, add 1 slip stitch, skip another chain, and then repeat.

At the end, flip it to work on the next row. Add 2 half double crochets, 2 single crochets, 1 double crochet, 2 single crochets, and 1 half double crochet to the center of the heart. Slip stitch to the next chain, and then repeat until you reach the end — then weave it closed, loop it, or tie the entire chain around something (a parcel, candle, etc.).

It might seem confusing, but check out the website for more detailed instructions!

This would be a neat idea for creative writing; have them cut out a photo or picture, paste it into their journal and then write a short story about it.
