Hoppity hoppity!! :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop . If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is Easter bunting! I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart. Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them. I embellished each flag with some beads... I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants. My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread. At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these
Oh Laura, these are simply adorable. They really made me smile when I saw them. SOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute and you've captured a great expression on them. They make similar ones for our local hospice with a Cadburys Creme Egg inside.
ReplyDeleteFab idea, the big ones are roughly creme egg size... hmm... there is Easter sorted! :)
Deleteoh Laura they are lovely, are they amigurami? i cant crochet for toffee so i do admire those who can. Thanks for the visit.

Apparently they are. Still not entirely sure what amigurami is though! :)
DeleteI know what you mean... I watch as Mum does a loop and a wiggle of a hook and bam! there's a duck... it's magic!
Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteOh, these are so cute! I'm sure they'll bring a smile to the new family. I need to stretch myself as far as my knitting goes. Right now I'm working on a baby blanket and even though I'm a little more than a third of the way finished I'm so ready to start on something else!
This is the first time I'm joining in for Friday Smiles. What better way to end the work week!!
Hugs,
Kay
Think we will all be turning in to them with this weather. They are so cute.

ReplyDeleteI love the expression on the big ones face. They are adorable. Can you possible point me towards the pattern please? They would be ideal for my spring Gallarte expo. I am still trying to find out what actually appeals to the Spanish families who come in - without much success so far!! Kate x
