The Best Blogger Crafts: Quirky Crochet Handbag

April 8, 2014 by FaveCrafts

the-best-blogger-crafts-banner

This month we’re celebrating our bloggers and their creativity. In January 2014 at CHA, bloggers gathered at our CHA Networking Event to meet companies and to work more with us here FaveCrafts. After getting a bunch of crafty swag from the event, they set out to make projects out of the materials they were given. We’re featuring these projects all month with giveaways so you can make your own versions of their wonderful crafts.

Quirky Crochet Handbag

Quirky Crochet HandbagIn our contest last month, each of these blogger crafts were voted upon by fans for a great prize! This Quirky Crochet Handbag by Jaime Maraia from Crochet Dynamite came in second place!

This Quirky Crochet Handbag is an explosion of color that you can carry with you. This tutorial on how to make a crochet purse involves alternating seven colors of yarn. Instead of looking chaotic, the effect is a cute striped pattern that allows the colors of yarn to blend slightly.

Use Yarn for These Unforgettable Home Decor Crafts

November 3, 2013 by FaveCrafts

When you think about yarn, you probably imagine a crochet hook or pair of knitting needle at the same time. Save for a few popular Pinterest projects and trendy DIY ideas (wrapping glue-covered yarn around a balloon and then popping it – haven’t we all tried this craft at least once), yarn is pretty much exclusively left for fiber crafters. Well, we’re here to show you that this isn’t always the case. In fact, there are plenty of inspiring home decor crafts for people who are less interested in crochet and knitting and more interested in changing the look of his or her space. Home decor doesn’t have to include a stressful trip to a big box supply store or a generic design outlet. Use Lion Brand Imagine Yarn along with a few inexpensive craft materials to turn your drab space into a fab retreat.

Our latest eBook, 17 Easy Crafts With Yarn: Make Accessories, Decor and More with Lion Brand Imagine Yarn, features a variety of quick and easy crafts for everyone. Some of the projects require hooks and needles while others simply require a skein of Lion Brand Imagine Yarn. Seriously – for some projects like the Reversible Foldover Cowl only call for a skein of yarn. Does it get much easier than that? These projects are idea for everyone from kids to lifelong crafters, so gather up the entire family and see what you can create.

Purple Haze Plant Hanger

One surprising yet simple project you’ll find in the eBook is the Purple Haze Plant Hanger. Fall is officially here and winter is just around the corner, so you might start to feel those seasonal blues. Brighten up your space (and your mood) but creating a colorful plant hanger. To start, you need a plain flower pot (look at your local garden supply store or home decor outlet) and a sewing needle. Grab a skein of Lion Brand Yarn and get to work! A little cutting and a little stitching go a long way with this craft – you’ll have a complete piece in just a few minutes! This is a great way to add color and excitement to your home. Buy a potted plant and keep it inside – that way to can stop and smell the roses without worrying about frost or other seasonal elements!

Autumnal Wreath

Fall isn’t over yet, so capture the best aspects of the season by creating your own DIY wreath. You’ll want to hang your Autumnal Wreath on your front door to greet guests, neighbors and even the mailman! Use two different skeins of yarn to create a dimensional look that really pops. Another cool aspect of this wreath is the multitude of 3-D bobbles that you create separately and adhere with glue. Everyone will want to know where you scored such a cool-looking wreath – it’s up to you if you want to tell them it’s handmade. You don’t have to just make this craft in the fall, either. Customize the colors and make one in the winter, spring or fall – you’ll love the festive look and rustic feel of this simple yarn craft.

These are just two of the 17 crafts featured in our latest free eBook. Besides simple home decor projects, this collection featured handmade scarves, kids’ wearable and so much more.

Yarn Crafts for the Rest of Us: New Lion Brand + FaveCrafts eBook

October 18, 2013 by FaveCrafts

No hook, no needles, no problem!

We’ve teamed up with Lion Brand Yarn for a brand new free eBook, 17 Easy Crafts With Yarn: Make Accessories, Decor and More with Lion Brand Imagine Yarn. You might be thinking, “Oh boy, another free eBook from FaveCrafts. What else is new?” Well, believe it or not, this collection is unlike anything you’ve seen before. Lion Brand Imagine Yarn is completely unique – in many cases you don’t need a crochet hook or knitting needles to make lovely scarves or hats. The yarn is actually a tube, so you can simply unroll the skein and loop it around your neck or cover your head.

 

Our latest free eBook features brand new, never-before-seen craft projects that everyone from beginners to experts will love. Kids can even get in on the fun, since many of the projects simply require a skein of yarn. Yes, you read that right – all you need is a single skein of yarn to make the wearables in this eBook.

As an added bonus, we’ve thrown in a few of our favorite home decor projects that use Lion Brand Imagine Yarn. Create your own plant hangers, picture frames and more – there are so many quick and easy ways to craft with yarn! All you have to do is download a copy of 17 Easy Crafts With Yarn: Make Accessories, Decor and More with Lion Brand Imagine Yarn and you’ll be off on a yarn-filled crafting adventure!

 

Exclusive Sneak Peek At What’s Inside:

Foldover Cowl – Cowls are super popular right now and for good reason – they’re super easy to throw on when your heading out the door and they keep your neck warm despite frigid temperatures. This project is so simple, you won’t believe that you haven’t tried it yet! Simply grab a skein of Lion Brand Imagine Yarn, unfold the tube and snip a 40-inch piece. Open the tube and slide it over your head – it doesn’t get must quicker than that! This is a great project idea for kids because it doesn’t require sharp objects or complicated stitches. This project serves as a fantastic method of introducing kids to yarn crafts. Make one before the winter chill sets in or create a bunch and give them out as holiday gifts.

 

Lamp Shade – Change the look of your space with only a few skeins of Lion Brand Imagine Yarn! You don’t have to hit your local home good store for this project, either. Simply grab an old lamp shade and a sewing needle and you’re ready to start working on this quick and easy project. Use two skeins of Imagine yarn and a single skein of regular yarn like Lion Brand’s Vanna’s Choice. Follow the simple instructions in the eBook and you’ll have a brand new lamp shade in no time. Use this as a jumping off point for a room re-design. There’s never a bad time to turn a afternoon into a creative “crafternoon!”

CHA 2012 Recap: Yarn is Art

February 7, 2012 by FaveCrafts

While we know it’s not true, some people still think that knitting and crocheting is still just an old-fashioned hobby reserved for grandmas in rocking chairs.  Now there’s not anything wrong with knitting in a rocking chair (that sounds amazing right now, actually), but as a hobby, knitting and crocheting have moved so far beyond that point, that it’s not right to limit it to a stereotype.  Yarn is more than just something our grandma’s used to work with; it’s a bold medium that everyone – at any age – can use to express themselves artistically.

At the Craft & Hobby Association Winter 2012 Conference and Trade Show  in Anaheim, Calif., which I had the pleasure of attending, it seemed that yarn companies were adamant on showing just how artistic and fashionable yarn can be!  Not sure what I mean?  Read on – and don’t miss our special surprise at the end of this post!

Lion Brand Yarn sign from CHA. “Yarn is Art.”

One of my favorite booths, and I must admit they have an amazing setup every year, was Lion Brand Yarn’s booth.  Aside from the adorable sign that proudly claimed, “Yarn is art,” they had several standout pieces all designed from the talented Lion Brand Yarn team that I couldn’t wait to share with you.  If these pictures don’t scream modern art, I don’t know what does:

Lion Brand Yarn exhibit at CHA

I wish I could hang that last one on my wall in my apartment.  If your house needs a dose of edgy decor, this trendy afghan should do the trick – just hang it up on a plain wall for an instant piece of modern art.   Love it. I might have to get my hands on more Lion Brand Yarn and try to make one for myself!

And just in case the first two innovative pieces from above didn’t prove their point, the Lion Brand team also concocted this incredible sculpture-like dress below made out of felted knit leaves.  I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves:

Lion Brand Yarn exhibit at CHA

Before we move on to other yarn goodies, another really cool thing that Lion Brand did this year was reach out to design schools from all over the world.  The challenge? Make a stunning piece of wearable art using Lion Brand products.  The result?  Twenty two modern designs were featured throughout Lion Brand’s booth and during their annual fashion show.  I don’t have room to show them all, but here are a few of my favorite designs:

Dress designed by emerging designer, Heater Orr, with Cotton-Ease from Lion Brand Yarn
Designed by emerging designer, Gretchen Kreutz, using Wool-Ease Thick & Quick yarn by Lion Brand
Another thing I completely fell in love with at the show were these gorgeous yarn flowers at Simplicity’s booth (below).  Whether you use these easy-to-make flowers to dress up a blazer or add more color to an afghan, it’s a simple way to make an artsy statement with everything, from home decor to your wardrobe.   Want to make your own pretty flowers?  Just get your hands on a Bloom Loom. 
Yarn flowers made with Simplicity Bloom Loom

If you’re not a big fan of wearing flowers, Bernat’s booth showed a great example of how crochet flowers can be used as colorful accents in home decor.  Don’t you love this chair:

Chair covered with crocheted flowers at Bernat’s booth

For those fashionistas out there who can’t get enough of ruffles, I’m pleased to tell you that ruffles and ribbon yarn is the new trend with many yarn companies!  Going along with the yarn is art theme, Red Heart has plenty of gorgeous artisan-like products coming out in the next few months.  One of my favorites was the light, airy and shimmery yarn called Sashay which will be available in new colors in April 2012.  The yarn itself is made out of ribbon-like material, making it ruffle.  Here’s what it looks like all knitted up:

 

Pretty stylish, right?  Remember, yarn can be used as an artistic way to dress up our wardrobe, as well as the walls!  Love that scarf and want to make it now?  Learn how to create your own similar scarf on FaveCrafts.

 

So tell us, have you ever used yarn to decorate your home?

 

P.S. Want to win a swag bag of crafty goodies from CHA?  Enter our contest before February 10!

AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns Giveaway: Lion Brand Silky Twist Yarn

November 13, 2011 by AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns

I have to say, I am so excited about this giveaway. Not only is this the very first giveaway for AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns (so exciting!) but this yarn is absolutely amazing. What a way to kick things off!

Lion Brand Silk Twists Yarn is unbelievably soft but extremely durable. Frankly, I can’t stop reaching over and touching a skein during the day because it feels so good. This super bulky yarn is ideal for warm afghans, baby blankets and throws because it’s so heavy. On a cold night, you’ll want to curl up with an afghan made of Lion Brand Silky Twist Yarn. Boucle yarn can be tough to use, especially if you don’t have a ton of crochet experience, but I can tell you that the overall look and feel of of the finished project greatly outweigh the extra time it may take.

Each yarn color is vibrant but not headache inducing. For example, you’ll find that the skein of blue yarn has shades of gray and green mixed in. Conversely, the brown yarn is a deep chocolate color that doesn’t mix in any other shades. It’s a great neutral that is soothing to look at. The texture and color of each skein of Lion Brand Silky Twist Yarn make it easy to match your new crochet projects to your overall decor.

Create something that looks and feels great. Curl up with this yarn and stay warm during the upcoming winter months.

Learn more about this product.

 

Contest November 22, 2011. You can enter once daily, so return often to improve your chances of winning!
