I designed this tiny snowman to weave on a 2 inch (or whatever size pin loom you want to use).
Here is a video for the step by step instructions.

In this video, I show how to make gorgeous Celtic interlace hearts that you can use to embellish woven, knitted, crocheted or sewn fashion accessories or home decor items.
They are also great for scrapbooking and can be used on stationery.
They are perfect Valentines or as Christmas or birthday decorations and ornaments.
Another wonderful way of using these Celtic Interlace hearts is to hang them up as ‘Yarn Bombs’ for people to find and adopt. What a lovely way to brighten someone’s day!
The video shows how to make different sizes of the Celtic Interlace Heart.
Here is the template- print it out so that it’s about 5 inches square, but smaller or larger works just fine, too.

Spool knitted cords work fine for making the Celtic interlace hearts, too.
Here is the video tutorial:

I love making little presents that I can just pop in an envelope and mail to family and friends.

Yesterday, I had a flash of inspiration…. well, really it was several flashes of inspiration that came together ever so nicely!
Lately, I have been blogging about doodling, Link and Link , so that’s kind of noodling around in the outer reaches of my brain.
And, a week or so ago, my daughter blogged about very cute embroidered Easter Eggs: Link
And, then Linette blogged about some papier mache Easter eggs that she had just made: Link
These all got me thinking about threads all came together and inspired me to design and make some oh so sweet paper eggs that can hang in a houseplant, a tree or be used as a bookmark or in scrapbooking.
Here’s what I did:

First of all, I drew an egg shape, and then I made a tracer or template from a piece of plastic from the recycling box.
Then, I traced around it on a used envelope (gotta love being green! re-duce, re-use, recycle, reclaim, upcycle!) and cut out 2 eggs. (Front and back).
Then I cut out an inch diameter circle of white paper (use whatever color works best for your choice of skin tone).
I snipped about 4 inches of embroidery floss for the hanger.

Draw the face on the circle and glue it on the front egg.
I doodled merrily away on the front of the egg, and then, because this one is going to my mom, I wrote a message on the back.
Glue the thread in a loop to the inside of the back and then glue the front to the back….. and Voila!
Adorable paper eggs to celebrate springtime!
Variations: I had brunch with 2 friends yesterday, and I made them eggs, but didn’t do the doodles. I took my colored pens with me, and they doodled happily on their eggs while we visited. Fun! Here are their eggs:

I also love to use fragments of tatting to decorate and embellish, so I used some scraps of tatting on 2 more eggs…
