Recycling Idea For End To End Crochet

Image
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.
