Grocery Bag “Yarn” | When people see the handbags some of us carry around they never believe that we’ve made them from regular grocery bags. I bet I’ve been asked about 65,000 times in the last few years–”How can you possibly crochet with a grocery bag?” Consequently, this story has been told quite a bit, but never here on the blog. Take one innocent looking grocery–the thin, noisy kind–and smooth it out flat. Fold it in half lengthwise and smooth out again. Fold in half again, and smooth out. Cut off the bottom seam, and the handles at the top. Fold in half again. Cut the strip into 1 inch pieces… until you’ve cut the whole strip. Open up the loops… Remember making rubberband chains when you were a kid? Well, it’s like that. Pull one loop through the other until… they knot together. -pretty much like yarn. It’s a great way to recycle those silly bags and make our own teeny tiny dent in the local land fill. And now you know the true secret of the universe. Either way. heh heh Watch “Dane’s Wish”
Mini Rose Hair Clip Mini Rose Hair Clip This is a cute little mini rose hair clip to make for the little princess in your life. The rose works up very fast and can be crocheted and assembled within half an hour or less. The finished rose measures only about 2 inches across, but if you were to use a thicker yarn you could easily create much larger rose. The crocheted strip naturally spirals, which makes it easy to position and sew the rose together. You can use the clip to help keep the hair in place or as an added decoration for a headband. Material: Size 3 Crochet thread, small hair clip, hot glue gun. Ch 41 Row 1: Work 1 sc in second ch from hook, work 2 sc in each of the remaining chs across. Row 2: Ch 1, sc in first st, *sk next 2 sts, 5 dc in next st, sk next 2 sts, sc in next st, repeat from * to end. To Gather The Rose Work the tail end down to the first row of single crochet stitches. Then shape the rose and sew in place, working with one small area at a time. To Attach Hair Clip
