Bag Handles

Jezze Prints Bag Handles

Handles for handbags are rather expensive. That’s what Jezze thought also and she wrote a tutorial for selfmade bag handles !
Great!
To tell the truth I find them even more beautiful than my filled I-cord ;-)

Button Rattle Baby Toy

Alli Crafts Button Rattle Baby Toy

Well, I find the button rattle baby toy for a baby a little too dangerous because of the danger of choking, but I find it beautiful as tag for a bag. Or as button jewelry ;-)

Braided Yarn Join

youtube lori1551 Braided Yarn Join

If you work with yarns you must sometimes join two ends, e.g. if the yarn broke, the ball is finished or the like.
With some (nature) yarns you can ‘cold felt’ them, with others it doesn’t work.
Recently I learned about the braided yarn join and it seems to work great, many think it’s the best for joining fine yarns.
