Meet Me At Mikes : Nice: :: Pip's Crocheted Christmas Baubles :: As Seen In Frankie Magazine... Please Note :: You can listen to me on the radio here! I am halfway through this podcast! Now back to the crochet.... This is in AU/UK terminology! This is a bit like making a granny square, only easier! I used a 3.5mm hook and baby yarn (4 ply) for this grey one. I got the clear glass baubles at Lincraft and the pink bauble is from Big W. If you are having trouble crocheting in to the first gap when you go up to the next round, if it feels like you are crocheting backwards, then flip your work over and crochet on the reverse side, as per the instructions.
This pattern can be varied dramatically : do feel free to play around and go wild with this idea! The baubles I used are 20cm in circumference. Thank you! How to Make a Snowstorm.

How to make 5-pointed paper snowflakes. Though no longer in elementary school, I still get a kick out of paper snowflakes. I made this snowflake garland the other night from origami paper, dental floss, and tape. The second and third flakes in this garland are based on a 5-pointed star. Download the 5-point folding directions right here. I think they're easier to cut since there are fewer paper layers. The first, fourth, and fifth flakes in the garland are based on 8 points. (Fold a square in half diagonally and keep halving it until it's nearly too thick to cut, then snip out small shapes ). Here's an 8-pointer. The Coffee Filter Wreath (A Christmas Craft) After re-decorating the house this year, I wanted my Christmas decor to get a bit of change too.
Last year I decorated with lots of bright colors. My mantle was home to my nutcracker collection and bright red/lime green stockings. But this year, I wanted more neutral colors, natural items (pinecones, acorns, shells etc), and lots of white. The wreath was the first step in this change. I am sooo excited about how it turned out. A gorgeous wreath from such simple, inexpensive supplies. You need an 18 inch straw wreath, a package of large coffee filters (250-275), and about 12 hot glue sticks. Do the back first, fold the filters in a 'flowery' way and hot glue. Then I did the inside loop. Here is how it looks from the front.

Since I had the wreath done, I decided to set-up my Christmas mantle. Now I didn't get rid of my all my Christmas decor from last year.
