Little decorations

At craft club last week we made little wreath decorations out of curtain rings. You double crochet over the ring, add a chain stitch bow and make a little chain stitch flower (on the right hand bar) using only 4 chains for each petal on a 3m hook. Add a button. Finished.


Can't crochet? wrap the yarn around the ring and then glue on buttons, ribbon, bows, sequins, beads, tiny bells - whatever you can lay your hands on in the house. Take a look on my pintrest board named 'classes' for other quick craft ideas.

Happy crafting

  6. Oh, how frustrating - saw a bag of curtain rings in the charity shop earlier today. Thought about buying and didn't, wish I had now as these are so lovely. XX
