"I folded a mesh produce bag into a small rectangle and whip-stitched it in place. I set the soap bar on it to dry."

"Wow this afghan does remind me of Fall Foliage! After reading the written pattern and seeing all the pictures this one will be so easy to make. I just need the yarn now, I love a good reason to go yarn shopping. I can't wait to get started making this beautiful crochet afghan. Thank you so much."

"I tell you, the star stitch featured in this neck warmer really kicks it up a notch. This is just the kind of cowl that pleases the masses, therefore it is a nice choice for making a massive amount of crocheted gifts for the holidays. You can do them all in the same color so that everyone gets the same, or you can take the opportunity to experiment with all those colors you've always wanted to try out. It's beautiful -)"

"A very easy to do craft for the whole family to do together. You can crochet the foam wreath covering (or your kid!), kids can pick out the felt shapes they want to add, Dad can hot glue them in place. I'd embellish the heck out of this wreath myself! It needs glitter!"

"SO classical in design. Do you think that I could use my favorite Lion Brand Bonbons yarn for this? To do this classic wreath pin but in a color combo that is more modern like the jewel tones, would be something unique! This pin is great for holding the ends of your holiday scarf together in the wind!"

"Want an idea for using that mesh ribbon you have leftover from Christmas decorating and don't know what to do with? Something that doesn't involve a poufy wreath or garland? Why not make a mesh ribbon angel! So pretty, easy to make and very inexpensive."

Estimated Cost: Under $10

Time to complete: Under an hour

Main Material: Fabric

Beginner

If you like DIY crafts, then you need to see this full project tutorial

Materials List
  • Mesh Ribbon - 5 1/2" wide
  • Ruler
  • Scissors
  • Fabric glue - clear drying
  • Ball ornament
  • Ribbon
  • Jute Twine or Chenille stem
  • Embellishments
Instructions
  1. Cut out five trapezoid-like shapes 3 inches x 12 inches long making sure you include the side borders of the mesh ribbon.
  2. Fold over the edges to form cone shapes and seal with clear drying fabric glue making sure one of the narrow openings will fit the shank end of a ball ornament. It's easier to glue the cones shapes together starting at the bottom of the cone with a triangular shape forming a point and gluing up.
  3. Glue the ball ornament into the narrow open end for the head. This is the main body.
  4. Attach mesh cones to the left and right of main body, matching ends and points.
  5. Insert fourth cone, placing inside of the middle body cone midway and glue at the back edge.
  6. Insert the fifth and final cone into the fourth cone midway and glue to back, aligning the seams.
  7. Shape a ribbon into a bow and glue behind the base of the ball for the wings.
  8. Glue a small circle of twine or chenille stem to top of ball for the halo.
  9. Additional embellishments can be added around the neck area.
  10. Glue twine loop on back for hanging.
Notes

The finished angel is approximately 16 inches long. Adjust the size of the cones to make smaller or larger angels.
