Introduction: Eco-friendly, Camouflage Hat

In this instructible I made a eco-friendly, camouflage cap out of steel wire and willow vines.

Supplies

Tools

  • Pliers
  • Wire cutters
  • Measuring tape (that can measure your head)

Materials

  • Willow vines or veld grass
  • Steel wire

Step 1: Making the Outline

  • Measure around your head
  • Take your wire and do the same measurement except add another 5 cm
  • Cut your wire
  • Then using your pliers twist the extra 5 cm of wire around the other piece of wire
  • Make sure the end of your wire is facing out of the circle where your head goes so it doesn't scratch your head
  • Then put it on your head and adjust it to make yourself comfortable
  • Then from one side of the wire to the other measure over the top of your head
  • Then measure it on your wire and add another 10 cm and cut it
  • Then attach it to both sides of your wire (using the two extra 5 cm on both sides) and twist it on.
  • Do the same on the other side
  • You can create a little over hang on your cap if you want to

Step 2: Starting to Finish

  • Go and get your willow vines or velt grass
  • Wrap them around your cap
  • Keep on wrapping until your hat looks like the one in the video
  • Then you are finished your camouflage cap
