Crocheted Tea Towel Topper

Hi everyone, I'm Darlene and I am so happy you decided to join me.

 Today I am sharing my latest crochet project - crocheted tea towel holders.

 They have been on my list for quite some time and I finally got around to doing it. I had an idea of what I wanted but it sorta came together once I had the yarn and crochet hook in my hands.

 I knew I wanted a ring to hold the towel. My first thought was shower curtain rings but I didn't have any extras just laying around the house and I didn't want to purchase them.

 Crocheted Tea Towel TopperThinking, thinking, thinking. Then I had a light bulb moment. Don't you just love those? Bracelets. They are the perfect size and they come in all kinds of colors and styles.

 Crocheted Tea Towel TopperI was absolutely delighted to find a set of bracelets at the dollar store. They were perfect and so pretty.



I made this first tea towel holder with the jade bracelet for my daughter who loves green.

 I started with single crochet then changed to the star pattern for the front.

 I decided to make my own button because I could make it the right size and with the same yarn as the rest of the holder making it easy to coordinate.

 I ended up making four crocheted tea towel holders. The green one, then a brown, then burgundy then white. They are going to be Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers.

 When you're starting a project do you usually have it all planned out? Or just go with the flow?

Darlene NemethI love to read your opinions and comments. It makes my day.

Bye for now.
Wishing you the best, Darlene

    Darlene these are so pretty. I know I'm always having problems with my towels and not having a place to hang them. This would be the perfect solution and it is also a great Christmas gift.

    I thought it was going to be a shower curtain holder or hair tie. Bracelets is a great idea!

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh...

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas...
