Tiny Kindness Angels to Make on the Kindness Loom

When I was a little girl, I adored one of my grandmother’s best friends, Mrs Wall, who was kindness incarnate. She was the perfect Granny, exuding comfort, sanctuary, and gentleness. She taught me crafts from her childhood, which made them a precious legacy. I was thrilled when she taught me how to make ‘Yarn Babies’.

When I was designing Tiny Angels for the Weaving Kindness Project, I decided that they needed to be made using wrapping and stitching and not weaving as an homage to darling Mrs Wall, and all the kind people who make the world a better place.

Happily, I have figured out how to use the ‘Yarn Baby’ technique on the Kindness loom.

I am thrilled with these Tiny Angels.

They’re less than 2 inches (5 cm) tall with my signature ‘Hugging Arms’.

I’ve designed two variations- one with a skirt and one with legs. Their wings are shaped like the infinity symbol.

It’s so soothing to make small things that bring a feeling of connection and community.

Making small Kindness treasures to bring comfort and hope can be incredibly healing.

That’s what the Tiny Kindness Angels are all about. I hope that you’ll make lots of them as gifts of compassion and kindness for yourself and for the people in your life.

We are all in this together, and are not alone on our journey. May we all, like Mrs Wall, but each in our own way- weave a legacy of kindness, compassion, generosity and healing love.

A new version of the Kindness Loom

I have designed a 2nd way of making the small Kindness Loom for the Weaving Kindness Project.

The link to order the 2 PDFs of Step by Step Instructions for making both of the Kindness Looms is: LINK

The first PDF shows how to make a Kindness Loom using pins to weave on

and the 2nd PDF shows how to make a Kindness Loom with mat board and cribbage pegs .

Both versions of the Kindness loom work equally well for all the projects I have designed for the Weaving Kindness Project.

The Weaving Kindness Project is about weaving small tokens of caring, kindness, comfort, wishes for good luck, sweet peace and blessings!

To see photos of the Kindness projects that I have designed to weave on the Kindness Pin Loom and links to order the PDF instructions for making them, please go to:

Weaving Kindness Project- The Wise Little Mouse

The Wise Little Mouse woven on the Kindness Loom is an homage to a fable told long ago by Aesop. It’s a story about kindness and how important it is to be kind to one another. Sometimes, we are the Lion and sometimes we are the Mouse. Sometimes we need help and sometimes give help. That changes, but what is essential is that we remember to be kind to everyone, and also to ourselves!

Aesop’s story about the Lion and the Mouse tells how a brave and wise little Mouse knew that even though she was small, she was mighty. The Wise Little Mouse convinced a Lion to spare her life, because she knew that her capabilities were equal to, even though different from, those of the Lion. This amused the Lion, who spared her life because she made him laugh.

When the Lion was trapped in a net that he could not escape from, the brave little Mouse chose to return his act of kindness by chewing through the net that had trapped him. She kept her promise to be kind to the Lion when he needed that kindness.

That was courageous, and very wise, too because she knew that sometimes we can give help, sometimes we need to be helped and it is all about kindness.

EVERY ACT OF KINDNESS, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, MATTERS-

More than we can ever know, and NOW, more than ever…

Kindness is essential because we are all in this together and

sometimes we need to receive kind help and sometimes we can choose to give kind help.

There is enormous wisdom in knowing our strengths and in choosing to be kind,

even when it’s daunting and challenging.

And, so, I have designed and woven a Wise Little Mouse as part of the Weaving Kindness Project.

You can weave a Wise Little Mouse, too, as I have uploaded the pdf to my etsy shop.

How to weave a Kindness Butterfly on the Kindness loom

Butterflies are one of my most favorite ‘Comfort Gifts’,

so it was important to me to design a

Kindness Butterfly as part of the Weaving Kindness Project.

I uploaded a video tutorial showing how to weave a Kindness Butterfly to make with the

Kindness loom by weaving just 2 simple shapes.

This L I N K takes you to the video tutorial for the Comfort Butterflies.

Happy Weaving! ❤

A Tiny Flying Joy Pig woven on the Kindness Loom

I have just uploaded a PDF pattern to my etsy shop.

It has step by step instructions and photos that show how to weave a teeny quirky tiny whimsical wee little Flying Joy Pig on the Kindness Loom 🙂

Here’s the L I N K

We all need ‘joy bursts’ that cause us to suddenly laugh in a way that dissolves the bubble of misery that has been puffed up all over the place these days.

Laughter is good medicine! And sure enough, when I show people the Flying Joy Pig, their first response is usually a hoot of laughter followed by an ‘oooh so cute’.

These little piggies really are adorable and they do their job of making people laugh and smile very well! AND they are a lot of fun to make, so I highly recommend these little sweeties as Kindness Critters!

When I say that the Flying Joy Pig is small…. I mean it! They are only 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) from tip of nose to curly tail.

They are so satisfying to make. I hope you will enjoy them and make lots and lots of them to merrily fly out into the world and spread their sweet joyful kindness and delight wherever they flutter!

PS: If you want to wear the Flying Joy Pig as a pin, then stitch a pin back to it. They would also make delightful earrings. A jump ring with a tiny brass safety pin attached to one of the wings allows the Flying Joy Pig to be pinned to a lapel, bag or hat. A loop of yarn makes it easy to hang the Flying Joy Pig on a push pin or in a plant or from the rear view mirror.
