Currently, the beret is a uniform headdress in most of the armed forces of the world. It represents the pride and courage of a soldier. Young men doing military service in the ranks of the Armed Forces, where the beret was introduced, dream of demobilization and fully prepare for it. The bigger problem for them is getting rid of this wonderful headdress. That is why every soldier should be able to fight him off and help his comrades in this matter in the future. Since there are several types of berets: statutory, semi-official and drop, we take a drop for the holiday. The beret itself is originally in the form of a simple disk.
It is necessary
- Takes a drop (choose your size, take a closer look at 54-55),
- water (preferably hot),
- shaving foam or gel,
- hairspray (colorless),
- disposable razor,
- scissors,
- any plastic card,
- cockade.
Instructions
Step 1
To begin with, we cut out the lining of the beret with scissors, but at the same time we do not cut the insert for the cockade. Next, we immerse the takes in hot water and wait 2 minutes for it to completely soak. We take it out, slightly squeeze it, insert the cockade exactly in the center (we are guided by the liner inside the beret), put it on the head and tighten the strings at the back of the head, tie it.
Step 2
Without removing the beret, we begin to smooth it with our hands in the right directions. Smooth the left side back, bringing the hand to the back of the head. We stroke the crown of the head to the right side, create a half disk at the right ear. We make the arch for the cockade as follows: we hold the cockade with our left hand, and with the right we iron it from the crown forward, creating an edging.
Then everything is much easier, you just need to trim these sides and remove stains and pits. Do not be afraid to smooth it harder, the beret will not tear. Pay special attention to the arch and half-disk at the ear, make them more prominent and even (it is advisable to iron the half-disk a little back to the back of the head after its formation, press it well to the ear and crush the ends). Your choice is how you want the half disk to look: cover the half disk, lightly touch it, or just hang in the air above it.
Step 3
After we have made the form, we continue to improve it. We take shaving foam and apply it to the beret in large quantities. We coat everything thoroughly, every site (we don't take it off !!!). Then we wait a few minutes, you can also iron the sides a little, but not much. Then we wet our hands with water and start rubbing the foam (which is on the beret) with movements from side to side, with medium pressure.
After removing all the stains and white spots, we iron the shape a little more, level the flaws and leave our creation alone. In no case do we take off the beret, we walk in it for about 1.5 hours, or even more. It is advisable to be in a warm place so that it dries on you.
Step 4
When the pick is dry on your head, you can put it on a table or on a battery to dry completely, but so that the half-disc hangs over the edge. Then we must get rid of the pellets that have formed from our foam and water, completely dry. We take the razor and shave in the same directions where we smoothed the creation. We shave so that the surface is smooth and without defects, everything is neat and not in a hurry.
After that, we take hairspray and spray it on the inside of the beret, that is, where we cut out the lining. Spend all the varnish, do not feel sorry for it, the more the better. All this is done to make the beret harder. You will feel the result after such an operation.
Step 5
So our miracle creation is ready! It remains only to take a plastic card and cut it to fit the size of the cockade. We make two holes for the antennae of the cockade (there should also be two holes in the beret), insert the cockade, then fix a piece of the plastic card inside, spread the antennae to the side. This will give our "piece of iron" immobility.
Everything else is up to your taste and color.
