Arts And Crafts Photo Gallery. Make It and Love It. Mini crochet baskets. Hi again! The project I am sharing today is a small one, mini crochet baskets. They are so quick to make and use up little bits of twine and string. One of my favorite places to buy yarn is Habu Textiles. What’s great about the showroom here in NYC is that they let you buy very small amounts, little leftover skeins and balls, perfect for a project like this. These are small baskets that could be used to store stationery items, paperclips, coins, buttons, etc.

Crochet pattern Note: This pattern can be worked either crocheting through the back loop of each single crochet or the entire stitch, I did both and each gives a different look. Chain 4 and slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring. Round 1: Make 8 single crochets (sc) into the ring, mark the first stitch of the next round with a removable marker. Round 2: Make 2 sc into each stitch to end of round. My Projects! Marble magnets.

I finally gave in and made marble magnets. Not surprisingly they are quite fun, smooshing the glue out to make a perfect little magnified image is very satisfying. Here, in order of appearance, are the places I referenced: paper candy instructions with pictures (this is the first place I saw this project) dogmestic with instructions and pictures photogeek pictures ugly green chair cute ladybug magnets – pictures with packaging threads at Glitter:onetwothree I bought all of these supplies at Michael’s, including the glue I went back for since I got the wrong kind to start with. These are great packaged in those Altoid-sized tins, I’ve seen them in office/gift shops like that.
