My mobile selfie by itself - DIY

Assalamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh :

Once my niece made a base, from a carton case, to put her mobile so it can stand by itself.  I wanted to make similar to that.

  

I had a portable tripod for a regular camera, since I don't use that camera anymore, so I never use the tripod. I had ever thought to modify it so I can use for my mobile, but still couldn't know how to figure it out. I had to make like an extension.  I should put flat base plus something to hold the mobile.

When I looked at the one that my niece made, I got the idea. Instead using carton case, I used a disposal plastic bottle so it can last longer.

How to make the #DIY extension:

Material : Disposal plastic bottle, sponge and glue

First, cut the plastic bottle about 3-4 cm from the bottom, and then please refer to the image below to make the space to put the camera at the plastic bottle.

Next, make a hole at the bottom of the plastic bottle part.

 

The extension is already done completely and can be attached to the portable tripod

Peci Haji (White Hat)

Assalamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh :

(May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you)

In Indonesia we name this type of white hat as "Peci Haji" because usually it is worn by male who had already performed hajj pilgrim in Mekkah. Please ignore the female mannequin I used in the picture.

I designed this particular Peci Haji because a friend of mine asked me to make one for him.

Usually, the hat is just in simple sts, but this time I put some motives  on the hat but still look masculine.

The pattern is as follow:

Material: White Rayon thread
Hook size: 1.50 mm

Estimate measurement:

Diameter 31 cm

Diameter of the crown – 11.5 cm 

Height of the hat: 9.5 cm

Stitches are used in the pattern:

Ch - chain

Dc - double crochet

FPDC - Front Post Double Crochet

BPDC - Back Post Double Crochet

FPTR - Front Post Treble 

BPTR - Back Post Treble

Sl st - slip stitch

Special Note:

•  The 2 ch at the beginning of each round do not count as 1^st dc/sts
•  Sl st always at the 1^st sts
•  Round 1 to 11 - to form the crown of the hat. In this part there is increase sts in each round. Increase or decrease the amount of round in this part to adjust the size of the hat.
• - Round 12 to 26 - to form the height of the hat. No more increase sts in each round.
