Rabbit motif embroidery

[MUJI] Simple one-point embroidery you just poke onto your bag 🐰 | Free Stitching Needle

Embroidering your favorite designs on linen bags has become a bit of a trend on social media, and many adults are probably thinking, “I want to try embroidery too.” Embroidery can feel a little daunting for adults—reading patterns can be tricky and it’s easy to shy away—but lately, a style called “free stitching,” which uses a special needle to simply punch and stitch, has been gaining popularity.

Let’s try embroidering a linen bag with this free stitching technique! A rabbit motif is mostly white, and you only need to add the eyes and mouth, so it’s perfect for beginners and children.

Snood (crochet)

Super easy! [Crochet] How to quickly make a cute children’s snood using extra-large hooks and super bulky yarn

Let’s try making a snood with crochet! When you hear “crochet,” it might sound difficult, but the stitch pattern is simple and repetitive, so once you learn it, it’s very easy.

Both the yarn and hook are super bulky, so the stitches are large and you can finish quickly.

Since you’ll be working in the round from the start, there’s no need to sew anything together at the end—just keep crocheting and finish by fastening off the yarn.

These days, you can even find cute super bulky yarns at 100-yen shops, so it’s easy to get started!

Needle-felted wool cats

Easy with an egg shape! How to make a cat / Wool Felt / DIY / Needle Felting

How about making a cute egg-shaped cat out of needle-felted wool? Needle felting can seem overwhelming because there are so many possibilities and it’s hard to know where to start, but the basics are simple: you just keep stabbing the wool with a needle to compact it firmly.

If your stabbing is too light, it will unravel and fall apart later, so be sure to felt it thoroughly.

Shape it, then add the nose and eyes using wool in different colors.

Once you get used to it, the repetitive needle work becomes fun—but be careful not to poke your fingers, because it hurts!

amigurumi

[Crochet] How to make a Teru Teru Bozu

Amigurumi are stuffed toys made with crochet.

Crochet might seem difficult, but basically you crochet a round shape using single crochet stitches, increasing and decreasing as needed.

Once you learn the single crochet, it’s not hard as long as you follow the instructions.

After you’ve crocheted the round head of the teru teru bozu, stuff it with fiberfill and close it.

Crochet the lower part as well, sew the two pieces together, add the eyes, and it’s done! Attach a strap or keychain hardware and you can clip it to a bag, so it’s highly recommended.

Crochet is fun! Making friendship braceletsNEW!

Making friendship bracelets with a crochet hook ♪ A thin bracelet crocheted with 2 threads: “Thread Cord” | Crochet Bracelet Tutorial With 2 Strings “I-Cord”

Would you like to try making a thin friendship bracelet “thread cord” with a crochet hook? You’ll use two strands of embroidery floss, tying the two together and crocheting with them.

First, leave about 10 cm at the end of the floss and make the first stitch.

From there, loop the strand you want as the main color over your hand and continue crocheting.

There’s only one stitch pattern, so just repeat it until it’s your desired length.

Once finished, leave about 10 cm and cut, twist the ends, and tie a simple knot.

Do the same with the end you left at the start, and your friendship bracelet is complete.
