Easy fleece beanie

Step 4Adding some flair

Adding some flair
Now you have your complete beanie, flip it right side out, all done. You can add
extra flair if ya like. This one I made for a lady friend of mine, so I added like
pink sewing stuff to the brim.

I wanted to add a button to hook the excess hat to the back. Sadly, Walmart is
like 2 hours away and in China, I don't even know where to look for the button
sets that you can buy at Wal-mart for like 2 dollars. So I improvised. I suppose
this is a button hack.

Couldn't find a paper clip so I cut up a little notebook, the plastic cover served
very well as the backing. I cut the cover to fit the bottle cap, i suppose the
equivialant would be like a gatorade cap, choose one which suits your purpose.
I poked holes in the cover, put in the wire, folded the excess so it doesn't pop
out, covered the cap with the scrap fleece, and pushed hard. Its not like a super
strong button. If you pulled on it hard, I'm sure it would disassemble, but the
plastic cover caught on the twisty thing inside the cap. A stronger way would be
top cut off the top of the bottle also as to screw into the cap, that would be like
awesome but the cloth would have to be pretty thin, but this way worked.
