Let’s Do It Justice – Christmas Bag

October 3, 2014 by Shellie Wilson

xmas-crochet-tote

What is a Let’s do it justice post ? Well it’s the day I bring a FREE pattern from our sister site Craftbits.com that has the worst photo. Craftbits.com has been around for over 13 Years which means photos were taken before high tech digital cameras. We need NEW photos and we are asking our readers to jump in and help make these patterns and re-take the photo. Make the pattern and send us the photo and help get these free patterns some justice they are worthy of. If you make it send the image to [email protected].  If you have a blog or website we will add you as the image contributor.  Christmas Tote Bag Pattern.

Why should you make your own shopping bags or totes?  Plastic bags are from the same source as all plastic: crude oil. So what is wrong with crude oil?

The manufacturing process emits considerable amounts of pollution, and the product is not biodegradable. On land, plastic bags are one of the most common types of litter worldwide.

As plastic bags are lightweight and float easily, this means they can travel long distances when picked up by the wind this includes landing in the ocean. Then wildlife gets tangled or ingests the bags, both in the sea and on land.

Make a difference and make your own shopping grocery bags.  Have plastic bags you need to re-use? Consider making these DIY upcycled plastic bag crafts.

Looking for more Crochet patterns for totes, shopping bags or oversized bags ? Check out these crochet patterns we found on Etsy.

Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy Crochet Pattern – A Pretty Little Holiday Make for Battery Tea Lights

If you love adding little handmade touches to your Christmas decorating, this Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy from CraftBits is such a pretty project. It is festive, eye-catching, and just the sort of small crochet make that can add a lovely pop of holiday color to a table, shelf, or mantel.

What I really like about this pattern is that it feels special without being overwhelming. It is a sweet seasonal project for dressing up battery tea lights, and the poinsettia design gives it that classic Christmas look that never gets old. It would be gorgeous as part of a holiday centerpiece or made up in a few sets for decorating around the house.

You might have seen this one featured on Crochet.CraftGossip before, and it is easy to see why it is worth another look. It is cheerful, decorative, and a lovely way to bring a little crochet into your Christmas styling without taking on a huge project.

If you are in the mood for a small festive make, this one is definitely a pretty pick.
