"Neat idea! Something so simple that pretty much anyone can do it, with no previous experience necessary. This is great for youth group crafts and other young people groups. Also great for selling at craft fairs. Jersey tees would make such a luscious infinity scarf! I'd love to do a mixed media DIY and add a pompom trim that I have seen at Joann Fabrics."

"I love that there is a video and I will certainly make this tote. I wish more people would add a video. It helps to visualize the instructions much better than photographs."

"I have to have this as a wall hanging for my kitchen. I'd also make one for use as a pillow. What a cute looking gift idea, the pair of these. Maybe even whip up a set of coffee coasters- the pattern can be found either on this website or the crochet website. I keep coming across them."

"Jazzing up an old cotton blanket or a plain solid color toss pillow would be great to do by adding these lovely crocheted flowers in three different sizes and designs. This is just one idea on how to make use of these. The yarn looks like it could be Red Heart or Caron. Stunning in black and white, don't you think? It would give it a more modern edge."

"How neat! This would be super handy for the summer. I also like that it's all natural. The store-bought mosquito repellant candles always smell very much like dangerous chemicals to me!"

#BestIdeaEver I just love the look.

What a great idea. The stores are just filled with all sorts of beautiful lanterns, in many, many colors.Turning them into planters makes them more versatile. They will be heavier when filled, so the carrying handles will come in handy.#BestIdeaEver.
