National Craft Month: Julia’s Favorite Projects

March 30, 2011 by FaveCrafts 63 Comments

As experts and enthusiasts of all things crafty, FaveCrafts decided to host a special National Craft Month blog series for all of our lovely readers. Check back for a new blog post every day featuring our favorite projects, new craft videos, how-to’s from the FaveCrafts editors, and a GIGANTIC, ENORMOUS, AMAZING craft giveaway at the end of the month. That’s right–we’re giving away the biggest prize ever, a gift basket chock full of crafting goodies from our craft closet. There’s something for everyone in this gift basket.

Leave a comment below, and on any blog post labeled “National Craft Month” in the headline, and your comment will count as an entry into the giveaway. You are free to comment as often as once per blog post (for a total of 31 chances to win!). At the end of the month, we’ll pool all of the comments together and pick one lucky winner.

When I was in third grade, I did a class report on elephants. I checked out books from the library and began learning all about them. Every since then, I have been obsessed with elephants. I have elephant stuffed animals, elephant magnets on my fridge and multiple elephant necklaces. When I go to the zoo in my hometown, I can’t leave without a visit to see my favorite elephant, Raja.

When I found this project on AllFreeKnitting, I went crazy. Not only does it feature my all-time favorite animal, it is blue and orange (Go Illini!) This would be a great gift for a child or could serve as decoration on your desk. Either way, Flo this Elephant is my absolute favorite project. Try not to let out a big “Awwwww” when you look at the picture below.

What’s your favorite animal? Have you ever incorporated them into your projects? What did you make?

    Believe it or not, I once crocheted a pink elephant! It was a humorous decoration for a powder room and it was a hit! Now I’m in love with dogs after a prolonged teddy bear fetish. 🙂

    I like a lot of animals but the one that makes it into my crafting a lot is owls–I use them on my cards.

    I love your owl I have a few but I have never used one in a project but you know I just might put one on my next quilt sounds like a new project to start.

    I never made a elephant but I did make a Teddy Bear. He was brown with white circles on the end of his arms, feet, front of his ears and on his tummy. Really easy, fast and cute. Used washable yarn, stuffed him with nylon stockings so if he got dropped somewhere he shouldn’t he could go in the washer.

    I haven’t crocheted any animals, but I have sewn some elephants and some sock monkeys.

    I renovated a very sad rocking horse for my son. It was a fun project and I even used a new mop to make a mane and tail with. We still have it 10 years later.

    I love cats, especially Siamese cat. I want to get that new knitting book, “Knit your Cat”. I haven’t crocheted or knitted cats yet, but I’ve done teddy bears.

    I love all animals…I can not say that I have a favorite. Right now I am crocheting a bunny purse to give my little granddaughter for Easter. I plan to make her many different types of crafty animals through her younger years! 🙂
