Husband's ragged mink hat no longer lies idle, made a beautiful thing out of it

Mink hat-ushanka It was once the dream of almost every Soviet man. But time goes by, the 80s are far behind, and in our time no one wears such hats. Or almost nobody.

However, many people still have these hats at home. After all, how can you throw away something that seemed to be of great value recently? Here and lie in the closets old hats made of natural fur no one needs.



And therefore you can understand those mistresses who, doing needlework, increasingly pay attention to fur hats. And although it is difficult for a person far from needlework to understand what interesting can be built from a hat, but real masters of their craft can surprise. And today we offer to look at how the skillful hands of the master Irina turn her husband’s old hat into a fashionable handbag.

1. The first thing you need to do is tear the seams apart to free up all the available fur. In this case, it turns out not too much, but for a pretty crafts should be enough.
   
   
   
   
2. Next, the fur should be soaked in warm water. Irina also added a little scented gel. Then she washed the material several times to get rid of the dirt, and rinsed in air-conditioned water. Then she squeezed and dried, and then fluffed the fur with a comb and hair dryer. Valuable fur is ready to go.
   
   
   
   
3. Next, a circle with a diameter of exactly 7 centimeters should be cut out of the paper. Now you will need to cut the same circle of fur. Just keep in mind that you have to cut with a stationery knife. Do not try to work with scissors, otherwise you will only spoil the material.
   
   
   
   
4. Carved circles of fur (Irina turned out to be 12 circles) threaded along the edges, and then pull. Inside you need to put a syntepon to make cute fur balls-pompons.
   
   
   
   

After that, Irina sewed a simple purse, using an unnecessary wool jacket for this purpose. I also did not forget to strengthen the fabric with flieselin. Of course, I had to put the lightning on.



Then the fabric was unfolded, the front parts of the craft were sewn on three sides, leaving one side in order to turn the bag out. You need to cut all the corners and do not forget to attach the strap (in our case, this is a pretty strap chain).



It remains only to turn the bag and securely attach the fur poms with a needle and thread. And after that, build a hole on the lining. The handbag is ready. It is hard to believe that until recently it was a sighted mink cap of Ushanka. Now with such a thing you can go to show off anywhere!





Of course, in Irina's video, where skilled hands work, the process seems pretty simple. However, it takes a lot of skill and experience to do everything in the best way. By the way, there are many different amazing crafts on the woman’s channel.
