Beaded Knitting Doll

Image
Today I would like to share another of my beaded knitting dolls. I really love the colour of this one and enjoy this craft although it is fairly time consuming. the beads have to be transferred from their hanks onto the knitting cotton and  then very fine needles are used to knit the dresses.

Easter Bonnet Tutorial

Image
Easter Bonnet Brooch A cute little Easter Bonnet Brooch suitable for girls of all ages. You will need : Card   (colour of choice) Spellbinders scalloped circle die Spellbinders Circle die Flowers Ribbon Brooch pin Kindy glitz (optional)             Instructions Step 1: Cut 1 Spellbinders Scalloped circle die (I have used the 3 rd size up ) and 1 plain Spellbinders circle ( smallest size) Step 2 :   Cut a strip of card 1cm wide and long enough to go around the smaller circle. You need to glue this around the edge of the circle. I suggest doing a little at a time and letting it partially dry before continuing.     Step 3 :    When this has dried glue it to the centre of the scalloped circle. Step 4: Tie a ribbon with a bow at the back around the brim and add flowers. Step 5: Glue the brooch pin on the centre of the back of the bonnet.
