CROCHET PACKAGE WRAPPING??

by

I’m enthralled with the ideas on this site for using yarn to ‘wrap’ packages.  The correct term might be to ’embellish’ wrapping – but I just LOVE what they’ve done with the yarn.

My mind is running wild with ideas for some of my ‘orphan’ skeins.  These are truly one skein wonders!  I think any type of yarn or thread would work for this project.  Lion Brand has scored with these ideas!

Here’s another one I especially like:

They offer 4 ideas at the site with the video how-to’s:

(Note:  The youtube video takes a while to load. Be patient.  It’s worth the wait.)

I think all of us can stash dive and come up with even more ideas.  How about combining a fuzzy yarn with a size 10 thread for the woven idea?  Why not use up those stray novelty yarn skeins to make the wreaths?

I’m heading for my stash right this minute!
