Paper Plate Yarn Heart

-




I just love simple crafts with the kids that are quick to complete and use supplies I have already and this is one of those great little projects.

My turn at a paper plate yarn heart.

This is the first time I have attempted something like this with my 4 year old.  She was super excited to do the project after watching the how-to video (see below). The craft was a little too old for her, but with lots of help from mummy we have something that she is really happy with.

My 4 year old's paper plate yarn heart.

I think this project would look great with red yarn too - especially for Valentines day.  Use a card instead and you would have a lovely Valentine's day card.

Mummy and daughter's paper plate yarn hearts look great on the door of my daughter's bedroom.
We were inspired to do this craft thanks to Lincraft's video (below). They are starting to produce some great craft content as they try to connect with their customers online. Their projects are a great mix of projects for adults and children so check out their blog or YouTube channel for some inspiration for your next project.

Chenille Socks for Kids

-

My daughters new winter pyjama's don't have enclosed feet like her old ones do so I told her she would need some bed socks. She immediately asked me if I could make some for her.  Despite never having made socks (and a failed attempt under my belt), I immediately said yes.


A look through the yarn collection for something suitable yielded some chenille yarn in white and pink. Having already made an animal security blanket / lovey out of the white chenille, I know how hard it is to work with, but I knew that pink chenille was just the thing for the fluffiest, cuddliest, warmest, girlyest bed-socks for a 3 year old.

My next task was to track down a pattern for chenille bed-socks for kids suitable to a sock knitter newbie. Nothing too specific there right? My first dilemma was the thickness of the chenille.
