Not long ago I came across a DIY on making yarn caps for a Christmas tree. Perhaps, many of you have seen it, too. I liked the technique and decided to try it. I added some author's techniques and got a charming brooch, which became my bestseller of the season!

Let's get started! You need:

• yarn
• wool for felting
• needle for felting
• a piece of foam
• brooch base
• half pearl
• scissors
• stapler
• glue
• ruler

If you do not have wool and needles for felting — you can do without them, I'll show this :)

Cut a piece of foam 11 x 1.5 cm.

Take glue and carefully join the ends making a circle:

When the glue dries, fix the ends with the stapler:

Now take fluffy yarn. Cut lots of threads of 20-25 cm.

I selected a wonderful lavender colour!

Take one thread, make a loop, pass it through the base and fix with a knot:

Tighten well and fix other threads:

Make a knot at the top:

Cut off all excess threads:

The brooch is almost ready! Tear off a small ball of fur and slightly felt it.

Then felt it inside the brooch, apply the right shape to the cap.

Shape the pompom properly.

And add some wool:

Fluff it a little bit:

Now cut off the excess wool and gently shape the ball:

You can decorate the cap with embroidery or beads.

You come to the final step :) Glue or sew the brooch base:

The cute brooch is ready! Feel free to pin it on a sweater, coat, scarf, bag. Or present it :)

I hope my DIY was useful and interesting for you :) Like it. I appreciate your comments and photos of the work!
