Currently, 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 serving in the ranks of the Armed Forces, where the beret was introduced, dream of a demobilization and fully prepare for it. The biggest problem for them is the beating of this miraculous headdress. That is why every soldier must be able to beat him off and in the future help his comrades in this matter. Since there are several types of berets: statutory, semi-part and a drop, we take a drop for the holiday. Sam takes initially has the form of a simple disk.
You will need
- Take a drop (choose your size, look at 54-55)
- water (preferably hot),
- shaving foam or gel,
- hair spray (colorless),
- disposable razor,
- scissors,
- any plastic card
- cockade.
Instruction manual
1
To begin with, we cut the lining of the beret with scissors, but at the same time we do not cut off the cockade insert. Next, immerse the beret in hot water and wait 2 minutes for it to fully soak. We take it out, squeeze it out slightly, insert the cockade exactly in the center (we are guided by the insert inside the beret), we put it on the head and tighten the ropes on the back of the head, tie it.
2
Without taking the beret off, we begin to smooth it with our hands in the right directions. We smooth the left side back, bringing the hand to the back of the head. Stroke the crown to the right side, create a half-disk near the right ear. We make the cockade arch as follows: hold the cockade with the left hand, and with the right hand we smooth it from the top of the head forward, creating a canton.
Then everything is much simpler, you just need to trim these sides and remove stains and pits. Do not be afraid to smoothen stronger, takes will not break. Pay particular attention to the arch and the half-disk near the ear, make them more prominent and even (it is advisable to half-drive the half-disk after forming it back to the back of the head, press it well to the ear and bend the ends). Your choice is how you want the half-disk to look: close the half-disk, lightly touch it or just hang in the air above it.

After we made the form, we continue to improve it. We take shaving foam and apply on a beret in large quantities. We coat everything thoroughly, every section (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 begin to rub the foam (which is on the beret) with movements from side to side, with an average pressure.
Having removed all the stains and white spots, iron the shape a little more, smooth out the flaws and leave our creation alone. In no case do not remove the beret, walk in it for about 1.5 hours, or even more. It is advisable to be in a warm place so that it dries up on you.

When it takes a pat on your head, it can be put on a table or on a battery to dry completely, but so that the half-disk hangs from the edge. Then we need to completely dry the beret to get rid of the pellets that were formed from our foam and water. We take a razor and shave in the same directions where we smoothed the creation. We shave so that the surface is smooth and free from defects, everything is neat and not rushing.
After that, take the hair spray and spray it on the inside of the beret, that is, where we cut the lining. Spend the whole varnish, do not spare it, the more the better. All this is done in order to take harder. You will feel the result after such an operation.
5
Our miracle creation is ready! It remains only to take a plastic card and cut it to the size of a cockade. We make two holes for the cockade antennae (there should also be two holes in the beret), insert the cockade, then fix a piece of plastic card inside, part the antennae to the side. This will give our "piece of iron" immobility.
Everything else is for your taste and color.
note
We roll the beret to the right side, and not to the left. On the left they can roll only the maroon beret, as it differs from the rest. The only exception for ordinary berets is the parade, only it is allowed to make a roll to the left side.
Useful advice
If you want to put a splinter or flag on the left side, put it straight and not far from the cockade. Remember, the two holes on the left side of the beret are ventilation, not loose leaves for trinkets.
