Hi everyone! It's finally complete. My sweet little bow is now for sale. Please head over to Ravelry to purchase a copy.
You will be able to make this dainty little guy. I love this bow. It's something that took me many of my newly acquired crochet skills to complete.
I'll also be making about 12 of these to sell at Alley (ART) Fest. If you don't crochet you can pick on up there. ;) OR, just lemme know and I can make you one custom. A completed necklace will be $25. I accept cash, paypal, Visa, mastercard, discover and AmEx. And, of course, craft trade. :D
I really just hope you think it's as cute as I think it is.
Thank you!
I had this idea...
that I would make little bows and turn them into necklaces. I've seen this idea and I'm not sure if it was completely mine. I'm going to claim it though cause why would I have seen it if I didn't do a search for it. Crafter logic.
So I haven't found a bow that I really liked and looked like what was in my head so I came up with one.
Here are the prototypes. They sizes are slightly different, and can all be used for different things.
The best mod was adding those pellets. :)
Update: The pattern is done and for sale!
I made one more modification here. I switched from dc to hdc. It made it slightly more compact and it holds the pellets a bit better.
One of the things I couldn't show you until now are these...
I made these for my 11 year old cousins. Each one took under 5 mins and I found myself wishing that I wouldn't look ridiculous wearing them.
I picked up a pack of headbands at Target and used a simple bow and flower pattern. I happened to have the yarn that matched the colors really well.
In the bow, I wrapped it together and around the headband at the same time.
In the flower I added the button and used that to affix it to the headband.
I used 4ply yarn and my trusty G hook.
I'm happy to say the girls seemed to love them.
