I can't import css file using 'static' template in django

Question

I'm trying to develop my first web application using Django, so the site looks like that:

On the other hand, I would like to apply some changes and put it in a CSS file called: cabecalho.css

cabecalho.css file (with the changes) - path: (project/static/css/cabecalho.css):

     <style>
       body {
        font-family: Segoe UI;
       }
       .logo {
        float: left;
       }
       .logo img {
        width: 250px;
        padding: 20px;
       }
       .menu {
        float: right;
        padding: 40px;
        font-size: 15pt;
       }
       .menu a {
        margin-left: 15px;
        margin-right: 15px;
       }
       .bemvindo {
        clear: both;
        padding: 0 20px;
       }

       </style>

These changes make the site look like that:

Site with CSS changes

In my HTML file called cabecalho.html, I tried to import with the line code:

1 try: <link rel="stylesheet" href={% static 'css/cabecalho.css' %}/>

2 try: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href={% static "css/cabecalho.css" %}/>

3 try: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/cabecalho.css">

In this way, nothing happens!

HTML file (cabecalho.html) - path: (project/templates/django/cabecalho.html):

<!DOCTYPE html>

{% load static %} <!-- Nova linha que carrega os arquivos estáticos -->

<html>

  <head>
    <title>Django Form Exemplo</title>
             <link rel="stylesheet" href={% static 'css/cabecalho.css' %}/>
    </head>

    <body>
     <div class='logo'>
       <img src="{% static "images/logo.png" %}" alt="Logo da Hacked" />
     </div>

     <div class='menu'>
       <a href="/app/sobre/">Sobre</a>
       <a href="/app/sair/">Sair</a>
     </div>

     <div class='bemvindo'>
       <h2>Bem vindo ao nosso Site Django Exemplo!</h2>
     </div>

    </body>

</html>

Obs: If I drop this line and add the CSS content like below, the changes happen.

<!DOCTYPE html>

{% load static %} <!-- Nova linha que carrega os arquivos estáticos -->

<html>

  <head>
    <title>Django Form Exemplo</title>
                          <style>
               body {
                font-family: Segoe UI;
               }
               .logo {
                float: left;
               }
               .logo img {
                width: 250px;
                padding: 20px;
               }
               .menu {
                float: right;
                padding: 40px;
                font-size: 15pt;
               }
               .menu a {
                margin-left: 15px;
                margin-right: 15px;
               }
               .bemvindo {
                clear: both;
                padding: 0 20px;
               }

               </style>

    </head>

    <body>
     <div class='logo'>
       <img src="{% static "images/logo.png" %}" alt="Logo da Hacked" />
     </div>

     <div class='menu'>
       <a href="/app/sobre/">Sobre</a>
       <a href="/app/sair/">Sair</a>
     </div>

     <div class='bemvindo'>

you are forgetting the outer dubble quotes of href attribute <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/cabecalho.css' %}"/>
