Loom Bracelets

I've gotten into the loom bracelets.  My daughter received one for Christmas and it was a little difficult for her, but I've made them and there are so many different patterns for these looms.  We have the Crazy Loom that Toys-R-Us sales.  Here is one bracelet that we've made.  It has flowers that are made of pony beads.  This one was a little more advanced than others, but YouTube had alot of tutorials on these kinds of bracelets.  These are fun to make and give as gifts or to sell for a little extra money.  Thanks for reading.

Fabric Flowers

I enjoy making lots of different crafts.   One craft I have to look difficult is really very simple.  It's the fabric flower shown below.  I found the tutorial on YouTube.  Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY3OjCPDXJk.  You can use any kind of fabric on hand.  These were made with an old dress my youngest daughter outgrew.  You can use these flowers to decorate any craft project.  These particular flowers were made into pins and now decorate a crocheted bag for my daughter.   Thank you for reading.

Bracelets and Beads

I have been making friendship bracelets.  My daughter loves them.   I use beads with them as well.  Here are three that I have made.  The top one is a crocheted bracelet .  The middle is one I just threw together from some extra string.  I had nine strings tied together so I braided three different braids with two different colors on each and then braided those three together.  The bottom one is one I made from square knots alternated with beads and closed with a button.  I got the pattern for the top bracelet here:  HTTP://www.1dogwoof.com/2013/04/crochet-beaded-friendship-bracelet.html.  The bottom bracelet I just threw together as well.  There are several tutorials out there for the square knot.

Crocodile Stitch Purse

Hey there.  I have been kinda busy with end of the year school stuff.  I am posting this purse I made.  It's a crocodile stitch purse.  I love the colors and the way it turned out.  I used a video tutorial from the Crochet Crowd on Youtube.  They have a lot of useful videos from beginning to crochet to advanced crochet and more.
