SOME RECYCLING FUN COMING OUR WAY

by

June 12 will soon be here!  That day, MADE Studio in St. Louis is hosting a remake, refashion, and revamp party.  The cost of admission is a bag of clean used clothing and $5!  Once you’re there, you’ll hang out, swap clothing and ideas, and create some fresh new items upcycled with the help of their on-site experts and equipment.

What does this have to do with crochet, you may ask.  Well, I plan to go, sew up some goodies like place mats, a vest, or a wristlet, bring it (them) home and embellish them with crochet.  I might actually take along with me some of the small crochet motifs I have on hand that I’ve made over time and never used.

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.
