Good Saturday to all! Today I am showcasing some items I am considering stocking up on for the holiday craft fair. I think these two are definite keepers. They will be available in my Etsy shop. First up is a Santa coffee cozy.
The cozy was really easy to make and came with an easy to follow video tutorial.
Next, is a Christmas wreath ornament. For awhile now I’ve been keeping the rings off of milk containers and water bottles. I was sure I could use them for something. Waste not want not, right? Crafters find ways to recycle and up cycle anything we can.
This wreath was really easy too. This one was made crocheting around a milk carton ring. The ring was approximately 1.5 inches across and the pattern said a 2 inch ring so I was surprised when it turned out bigger than I thought. In addition to being a tree ornament I thought it would make a great window decoration by hanging on a small suction cup hook.
In other news, I am still working on Burger’s birthday afghan. It’s nearly completed so maybe by next week I’ll have it ready to reveal.

I love that wreath idea – how very inventive, and it is really sweet 🙂 I wonder what other things could be made with milk bottle tops (and other upcycled bits too) 🙂

Thank you! I’ve wondered what else I could make with them too. I’ll be on the lookout for sure.

I am still struggling with prices on my work so I was just curious!

Me too. I actually didn’t use my app for this because these were test projects so I didn’t time them. I just went to Etsy and looked at similar objects. Some were outrageous so I just priced them at what I would be willing to buy them for.

I haven’t had a chance to use the app either. And it’s like you said I tend to go off what I would be willing to paid!
