How to Make a Custom Knot Bracelet
If you're looking for a craft project that can show off your creative side, consider making a knot bracelet. This bracelet is made up of simple loops that you can create using different knots.
To make the bracelet, start by cutting eight pieces of cord about 8 inches long. Then, tie each of the cords together in a knot. You can use any knot you want, but the easiest way to do it is to tie a double knot.
Once you have the knots tied, loop one end of the cord around your wrist several times. Make sure the loop is big enough so that it covers your palm completely. Then, carefully pull the cord tight so that the knot stays in place. Repeat this process with the other seven cords, making sure to keep the loop on your wrist as you go.

How to Make a Felt Sun Hat
There's no need to visit the mall to find a stylish hat! You can make your own hat from felt, and it will be much cheaper than buying one.
To make your felt sun hat, you will need:
-Felt measuring tape
-Pen or pencil
-Scissors
-Craft glue (optional)
-Sunscreen (optional)
First, measure the circumference of your head using the measuring tape. Make sure to leave a 1-2 inch margin on all sides of the measurement. This will allow for hat stretching.
Next, cut out a rectangle of felt that is about 2 inches larger than the circumference of your head. The width of the rectangle should be slightly wider than the measurements you took, but not as wide as the fabric you'll be using to make the band. The height of the rectangle should also be slightly taller than your measurements, but not as tall as the fabric you'll be using to make the brim.
Now, use scissors to cut a hole in one side of the rectangle that matches up with your measurements. Make sure to leave a slight margin around the hole so that you can sew it together later. Next, use craft glue if desired
