SOME FRESH IDEAS

November 10, by jd wolfe. Leave a Comment

If you’ve been paying attention to a lot of my blog entries, you’ll know that I love to recycle common household articles, especially fiber-based items, and I love beads.  I was digging through Etsy for a few minutes recently and ran across some items that are very inspirational to me, combining crochet with other arts and recycling.  Hope you enjoy the brief overview.  Some items are for sale, some are patterns, and all are giving me ideas………

This one is called a necklace, but I’d much prefer to see it as a belt (if I had a waist).

This bottle could obviously be embellished to suit any occasion or holiday.  I love flavored vinegars and like to recycle wine and whiskey bottles for storing it.  Since I’m not a drinker, I prefer to not ‘advertise’ the booze!  Another idea would be to use an ugly bottle as a bud vase, covered with crochet to match the occasion or decor.  You can even crochet the bow to go around the throat of the bottle, like this:

or use almost any cute scrunchy pattern to decorate the throat of the covered bottle.
