Work with your left over yarn

I have many left over yarns from my knitting or crocheting project. Some times it's only a little. I choose to make an icord from it, if I put it maybe I will forget. Cause too many yarns in my craft room. I do this icord

Jarum Gelangku (Pincushion Bracelet)

Awalnya saya tidak merasa perlu pincushion berbentuk gelang ini, tetapi kemudian ketika saya ingin mem"blocking" project rajutan maka saya merasa membutuhkannya.

Dengan memakainya sangat memudahkan saya menancapkan jarum2 di tempat yang diperlukan tanpa perlu jauh2 mencari si jarum.

Cara membuatnya mudah sekali dan tidak diperlukan waktu yang lama, cukup 20 menit saja selesai sudah.  Saya sharing cara pembuatannya dibawah ini.

ROSES always amazing

I dont know whose the first person made this pattern. Too many patterns look like similar . I took one of the link that I thought it's clear enough ( with basic tutorial inside ). Click here for basic rose.

After you made it you can play with it. Cause you'll different style of roses if you work with "right side", wrong side or you mix with right side first than wrong side. Which one do you like?? It depends on your project .

Here is the pic that I did it. You see.. how beautiful they're. Play with right side and wrong side is amazing for this pattern.

Try it and you'll love it. I hope my sharing could inspire you alot :)

Happy crocheting all

Play With Button

All of us who love  working  with craft have left over buttons. We have many different type and colours of them. You can use it to make over a plain frame. Easy to make. 

Play with leftover yarn

Every crocheter or knitter have leftover yarn. And many of us keep them. Yarn is like a treasure for us. I try to make something cute and easy  with our left over yarn. 4 scoops of icecream or a cutie key chain. Try it and you'll love it.

Material :
1. Scissor to cut the newspater
2. Used newspaper, Cut them and pressed up to be a small ball
3. Left over yarn
4. Tapestry needle
5. Colourful pin
6. Key chain

Plastic Bag again

Recycle project again. You can recycle your plastic bag. I know many of you have been known that we can make a plastic yarn with used plastic bag. Easy to make. Try it and you'll love it. 

Note : You can subtitute any of your bag pattern with plastic yarn.
This handy bag is about 25 cm width. It needs about 60 plastic bags. 

The important thinngs :
1. Use flexible plastic bag ( easy to tight )
2. Do not too tighten when you joining 2 strips of it
3. Use big hook (8,00 mm)
4. Loose stiches



A. Cut plastic bag with 2,50 - 3,00 cm width. 

B. Joining 2 strips like you make a basic knot

C. Tighten 

D. Plastic yarn ready to use

Material :
used talc compact powder ( diameter 8,50 cm, height 3,50 cm. I used Marcks )
Yarn over in pink, white and chocolate colour
Crochet hook 2,30 mm
6 strawberry buttons
Used plastic cover for inside
Tapestry needle
Clear glue

You can work with your imagination. Cover top and bottom with yarn. Work around with dc stich until 8,5 cm. 


Then you work bldc around to make a body. Work around till 1,5 cm height for top and 2 cm for bottom. 


I used plastic stiker to cover the inside bottom. Cut circle and place it. Looks great.  Isn't it.


You can add buttons or anything you have in your stash to make this cakes looks yummy. I have strawberry buttons so I make a strawberry short cakes. How about you?? Chocolate, Vanilla or rainbow cakes ?? Wait for you version of yummy cakes ;D.

Recycle Cones for your ribbon

Do you love play with ribbons. I love to play with them. Sometimes I sew the ribbon and pull the thread to make a new style of ribbon ( ruffled them ). You can buy ruffled ribbons at store but it's cheaper if you make it by yourself. 


The problem is how to put them after you sew them, cause the original roll cant used anymore. Finally, I decided used recycle cones ( I made from my yarn cone ). I hope it could inspire you how to handle a new style ribbon. You can use can or plastic bottle too. But you must put something heavier in it. To make it steady. 


Da..da..da... your crafting room will look better and tidy with this colourful ribbon.

Dont throw away your fax cone

Few days ago my friend (Ani) gave me unused fax cone from our office. She said," Thata I think you can make something with them". Hi..hi...hi...

I look at them ( 12 fax cone ). Wow it's so tough and ... I have an idea. Make a bag handle with it. Just cover it with crocheting or knitting (I-cord), fix to your bag with tapestry needle and thread. Yuhuuu you'll have a new bag handle.

Easy isn't it?? I still wrap them with crocheting, knitting and small rope. Just play with imagination. I know you can create with your imagination too.

Cheapest bag handle I think :D
