Hi Everyone!
Happy Thursday!
I am so excited to show you the new fiber art sculpture I just completed!
I call it Magic Bubbles!
It was so fun to make!
I crocheted some ball shaped ornaments and strung them on a lucite bar.
The I hung it over my favorite chair where I love to crochet everyday.
Voila!
Voila!
Magic Bubble floating over me!
This project was so fun and easy to do!
This project was so fun and easy to do!
It is very portable so you can make these little ornaments anytime and anywhere!
Here is the Free Pattern for you to enjoy!
I used Lion Brand Amazing Yarn in several of their different colorways. I love them all so I used all the ones I own.
You can pick all of your favorites or even just one ball as the colors change throughout each skein and you will have a rainbow of magic bubbles even by using one skein of your favorite colors!
Materials:
Small amounts of your favorite yarns
Your favorite crochet hook.
*Smaller gauge hooks will make smaller, tighter ornaments.
I used a size E for this project, but have made the with a G Hook too to make bird toys and loved them as well.*
Yarn needle
Small bits of stuffing

Thanks for the pattern-I dont know how to crochet, but I hope to learn. I knitted your easy bear and it was lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteI am so flattered by you saying I am wise on my blog, very sweet. Not sure if its true, but very sweet.
ReplyDeleteI actually did a blog post on the simple teddy bear you can find it under the Simple Projects tab at the top of my blog (don't worry we gave you credit!) I turned it into a cat toy by adding a little catnip. After I get a bit better at knitting I want to try crochet.
I love your colorful magic bubbles Auntie Missy.
ReplyDeleteThe magic will float around you and give lots of inspiration and a happy heart!
love
