The Purl Bee posted a tutorial for cross-stitching on single crochet stitches. It just so happened that I had a piece of single crochet that could seriously use some sprucing up!
I can’t bear to part with smallish containers, so they all get little cozies. It will be home to pencils or markers or even a plant. Hip hip hooray for re-purposing trash!
:O I must learn to cross stitch. this looks fabulous
It is so easy, Claire! The tutorial at thepurlbee is really clear, so I would suggest using it as a jumping point! I winged the heart big time (didn’t even chart) and it still came out pretty lovely. :)
This just gave me a great idea! I just started a new job and have been looking for some stuff to decorate my desk with. I think I need to decorate an old container to use as a pen holder. THanks for sharing!
Eeek! Love this! :) I’ve been wanting to try it for some time, so I’m off to check out the tut…thanks!
Its super nice, thank you for sharing it. Its amazing.
Great idea! And nicely done too – I found your site via Coco Rose who just posted about her efforts inspired by your project. :)
