Cross-Stitched Matchboxes

Aren’t the cross-stitch decorated matchboxes cute?

    I can imagine different occasions where you can give them away filled with money or a little something:

  • with a heart for Valentine’s Day,
  • with a little flower for Easter,
  • with numbers as Advent calendar box in Advent,
  • with a Christmas tree at Christmas or
  • with an initial as gift box for special people,
  • with a little car for a passed exam for a driver’s licence,
  • with a baby carriage for the birth of a child,
  • and much more :)

Recycled Gift Tags

I find these recycled gift tags great!

As well the round as the rectangular elements can depending on the season easily be cut from old Birthday, Christmas, Easter, Spring or whatever cards, or from matching gift wrap papers that are glued to white paper for reinforcement.

In place of the gift wrap papers you should also can use pages from old books, beautiful pictures from (travel) brochures or self-made or self-stamped paper.
And photos.

And, yes, you should also be able to make a coupon Advent calendar! :)

And then you can also embroider, doodle, paint, cut to paper flowers the elements.
And incorporate small beads or yarn threads.

Whew, my imagination rans riot again ;-))

Aren’t the knitted cork Christmas trees cute?!
They are meant to embellish bottle corks, but actually you can make from them a beautiful coupon Advent calendar :)

By the way, you can get at Drops a very good (not only) knitting dictionary.

Wire and Yarn Mobile

The wire and yarn mobile is surely nice in every season, however I can imagine the letters also very well as gift tags (e.g. for Christmas) or the single elements as numbers for the Advent calendar.

Knit a beautiful Estonian lace inspired shawl on the 24 days of Advent, every day a little bit.
In case that you don’t need a shawl simply make it a tablerunner :)
The picture just gives you an idea of what you will knit but (hopefully ;-)) don’t spoil the surprise.

Note: There is the group unikatissima at ravelry where you can discuss this pattern and my other patterns, too and where you can show us your wip (work in progress).
You can register at ravelry with your username and a valid email address only, with all other information about you it’s up to you whether you give them (at least it was like this when I registered ;-)).
