DIY Tassels From T-Shirt Yarn Scraps
Who doesn’t love a good tassel? And especially one made from those pesky yarn scraps that generally result after weaving in ends! That is right my friends, when you crochet with t-shirt yarn those project scraps are perfect for making DIY tassels because the yarn itself is so thick that not that much is required to make one tassel, especially if you want to make small tassels. So what are you waiting for, get crocheting so you’ll have some scraps and then use them to make festive tassels. What should you do with those tassels? Well how about using them on gifts, or as napkin rings, or as part of…

Crocheted Mini-Mandala With Star Center Pattern
With Hanukkah in just a week, I have been a bit busy whipping up some quick crocheted mini mandalas with a 6-pointed star center. Using pastel-colored t-shirt yarn, this mini mandalas work up quickly, and in just three rows you have something you could use as a coaster, or possibly as part of a decorative garland, mobile, or wall hanging. The jury is still out regarding how I’ll be using these, but hopefully I’ll figure something out very soon, and share the results with you. Truthfully just hanging these little crocheted circles from my dining room chandelier would do the trick, or maybe combining them with some pom poms, beads…

Quick Crocheted Stars Using T-Shirt Yarn
Hanukkah is coming in just a week or so, and now is the time for some quick crocheting to use as gifts or decorations! Lucky for you I have given this two-row star a run for its’ money using t-shirt yarn, and the results are great, so now I’m sharing them with you! T-shirt yarn is a delight to crochet with, but not every pattern works due to the bulkiness and stretch of the yarn, so always a good idea to make a sample before going to town. I’m not sure exactly how I’ll use these stars, but at the very least as a crocheted bunting, and if there’s more…

Needlepoint Star Ornaments With Plastic Canvas
As you may have noticed, I have been having lots of fun making Hanukkah decorations using plastic canvas. And now I present to you an obvious addition to my plastic canvas dreidels and plastic canvas menorahs, ta da, plastic canvas Jewish stars! Just for the record I thought you might be interested to know that truly the idea of using the Jewish star to represent Hanukkah is a commercial invention of some sort, and you won’t see any such stars here in Israel being used for Hannukah. People would wonder if you were trying to possibly recycle your decorations from Independance Day! I just had to laugh as I was…

Needlepoint Dreidels For Hanukkah With Plastic Canvas
This Chanukah is turning out to be a plastic canvas craft extravaganza! Yes just a bit odd for someone who prefers to craft with recyclables, but hey, sometimes I just want to make some great looking crafts from store bought suppiles, can you blame me? I will say that all the supplies for these plastic canvas Chanukah crafts are things that I already have on hand, and I have been using up little bits and pieces of yarn, and even unraveling swatches to get enough of the colors I desire! These plastic canvas dreidels were actually the first thing I made, just somehow decided to share them with you last,…

Needlepoint Menorah For Hanukkah With Plastic Canvas
Dear Readers, I have been very busy doing all kinds of creative things, some of which just aren’t baked enough to share, so I am pulling some projects out of the archives as they are still wonderful and perfect right about now, enjoy! And while there isn’t a month until Chanukah, rather roughly 2 weeks, there is still time for some detailed work, just now is the time. I just love embroidery and needlework of all kinds, but with my generally hectic crafting endeavors there usually isn’t time for small detailed work. But this year my friends we have an entire month until Chanukah, and with a huge roll of…
