I Made A Christmas Ornament and I Love It

- November 09, 2022

The Memory Ornament I really love this ornament that I made. I mostly love it because it means something to me. Somebody sent us a Christmas card. I've held on to it for a very long time. I decided to make Christmas ornaments with the cards I've been holding onto for over 10 years, some over 15 yrs, some over 30 yrs. Some may be in our tree and others in a wreath. Front Back Here on the back of the ornament. I glued the sentiments, and what the sender wrote to us in the card. I covered their name here for this post. I wanted to be sure not to upset anyone by posting their name here. Supplies Needed To Make 10 Ornaments 1. 10 Old Christmas Cards With Pictures. 2. 10 Round Black Lids That Are 4 and 6/8th Wide.

Recycling Idea For End To End Crochet

- November 21, 2019

New Idea - Recycling Idea For End To End Crochet I had this idea for end to end crochet projects. I used these large creamer containers I collected because they have an opening in the lids already. 6 of them fit perfectly in a basket from Dollar Tree. I cut openings in the containers. I used a handheld saw to make a small slit and then used my electric scissors. I made a small pattern to trace the shape I wanted to cut. That way the openings are approximately the same size. As you can see the yarn will not roll out because it is trapped inside by the walls of the basket. This keeps the yarn from becoming tangled up. This recycling Idea will save time and money. Now I'm going to paint the canisters to match the basket. I'll be back with the picture when it is completed.
