Remove and shake otmochennuyu straw and place it in a single layer on paper litter. It is recommended to roll them into rolls, the material remained elastic. Grease hands with fat, petroleum jelly or cream - and you can start making the headdress.
Of the prepared pieces weave lentu- so-called "troika". In fact, this is the usual braid of three elements. Put two straws parallel to each other; and between them perpendicular to insert the third. Begin to weave braid then left, then right edge portions of the beam. In this case, the straw to gently bend at right angles.
As you work Grow woven tape, applying the new end of the straw to the previous "tail" overlap 2-3 cm. When the network reaches 15 m long, trim the ends of the beam and tie the thread with scissors.
Now take the next element of the decor hats - straw chain of about 1, 5-2 m in length. It is a cover of a pair of straws. First, add them together and tie so that between the elements of the new ribbon turned a right angle. Be sure to flatten the place of the well straws!
Fold the bottom straw top (now the top); then the lower strip is again at the top, etc. Cuddle formed overlaps each other, to have turned the accordion. Secure and trim the ends of the finished braid; little stretch it.
Twist lentu- "three" into a ball and sprinkle it with cool water from a spray bottle. During weaving hats should not be allowed drying material, or straw will break down under the needle. Now your task - to make spiral curls, forming a headdress. Along the edges you'll sew pigtail manually.
First, create the bottom of the hat: make a crease in the center; slightly stretching the tape is superimposed on the second one turn with overlap of 1/3 the width of the braid. Stitches put in the tone of the material is very short and neat - each no more than 2 mm in length. The size of the bottom of the chosen individually; usually for women's hats are enough top diameter of 16-18 cm.
When the bottom of the headgear will be formed, peel back the tape of the last curl so that the spiral straw laid down in the vertical plane. Sveyte the crown height of 8-10 cm and go to the fields.
During sewing the bottom straw braids for the crown, bend the braid angle of 90 degrees. To secure the next round, you must make fewer wrinkles and not much stretch outer edge pigtails. Perform a dozen turns and secure an end to "Three" by bending it to the wrong side of the headdress.
Straw hat should be given a neat shape. To do this, pull it on a wooden disc of the correct size, and otparte otgladte product through a damp cloth. Obsheyte headpiece satin ribbon, and on top of it, Suffer little relief chain-accordion made of straw. Finally, do the finishing touch - an elegant bow.
