DIY Turkish Fez

Supplies:

• 1 piece big cardboard
• scissors
• 1/2 meter tassels
• 1/4 1/4 meter cloth on your preferred color
• hot glue
• sequins, beads, or any available accessories

Steps:

1. Measure the size of the child's head. Draw a 2 parallel curved lines in a piece of cardboard based on the measurement. Make about 3 inches space between the lines.

 
2. Cut along the lines. Then stick the cardboard onto the cloth to prevent it from moving as you cut it.

 

 
3. Cut cloth around the cardboard leaving about a 1 inch allowance. Cover the whole cardboard with it and secure with glue.

4. Roll the fully covered cardboard. Flip it upside down and trace the bottom.

 

 
5. Cut the traced circle and cover with cloth.

 

 
6. Make a tiny hole in the center of the circle. Now insert about 4-6 strands of tassel into the hole and tie both ends.

 

 

 
7. Then start rolling the cardboard again with the circle positioned on the bottom. Stick them together using hot glue. You now have a plain hat.

8. Now, let's work on the tassel. Roll 2 inches of tassel around the knotted tip outside the hat. See photo. Glue it into place.

 

 
9. Lastly, decorate the fez with your desired accessories.

 
10. It's done!
