[Monofilament Thread Weaving] Beaded Barrette

DIY: Hair Barrette with Beads Tutorial — How to Make a Sparkling Glass Bead Barrette (Monofilament Weaving) | Beaded Accessories | Hair Clip | Easy

Would you like to try making a glass-bead barrette with beads woven using fishing line? Since it’s handmade, the appeal is that you can easily create colors and designs that match your fashion.

In simple terms, you weave the beads directly onto the barrette parts using fishing line.

Tie the beginning and the end securely so they don’t come loose, and finish with a dab of adhesive.

If you make a few, you’ll likely come up with your own original barrette designs.

You can buy beads at 100-yen shops and similar stores.

Single crochet trivet

How to crochet a simple pot holder using only single crochet stitches

Here’s an idea for a trivet made with single crochet.

The stitches arranged in a spiral circle look so cute! Single crochet creates a dense, firm fabric, so your trivet will be nice and sturdy.

It’s also one of the basic crochet techniques, making it perfect for beginners.

By changing the yarn material or color, you can create pieces with a seasonal feel—try making a variety of styles.

If you make it smaller, it can serve as a coaster, so starting with a small size is a great option.

[Using Fabric Scraps] Fabric Tray

Mini Dish-Like Trinket Holder from Two Fabric Scraps: Fabric Bowl, Time-Saving with a Pattern! Fabric Tray, Christmas Accessories, Free Pattern

A small dish-like organizer made from fabric scraps has a lovely three-dimensional look while still feeling light thanks to the cloth—one of its biggest charms.

Using a pattern as a guide, cut out four sections from a square piece of fabric, then sew those cut areas together to create a three-dimensional shape.

Next, make another identical piece following the same steps.

Place the two pieces together with the seams facing inward, sew them together, and trim off any excess—then it’s done.

Using the same fabric gives a cohesive look, but deliberately using different fabrics to enjoy a contrast between the inside and outside is also recommended.

[Crochet] Mesh Stitch Bag

[Crochet] How to Crochet a Basic Straight Mesh Bag [crochet]

Why not try making a crochet mesh bag that’s handy for shopping and won’t wrinkle even if you scrunch it up? Start by crocheting single crochet stitches for the section below the handles.

Using that single crochet base, work the mesh pattern above it.

As you crochet straight, the mesh section naturally widens.

It may seem intricate, but it’s easier than you think since you just repeat the same steps.

It’s fun to make with your favorite colors and materials.

Give it a try!
