Although spring really hasn't come here to the UP, I decided I needed to get some colour into our house. So I have started to do some of my decorating for Easter...
I had found these neat Crochet Balls from Petal to Picots that I wanted to make. Marilyn from 4 You-With Love originally shared them on her facebook page and I knew that I had to make them and use them in my Spring/Easter Decorations. Petal to Picots used them in a vase with flowers... which I thought was cute, so I stole her idea (I don't have any real flowers, but think the fake ones work too)
I also thought they would be cute in a vase or container with just a ribbon around them as part of an Easter Center piece...
I did use the pattern that Petals to Picot provided for free but when I stuffed them, I tried to shape them into eggs instead of balls. The pattern looks a bit different as it changed depending if you crochet in the front or back loop or through both the front and back. I also turned some of them inside out as I liked the pattern of the inside just as well.. I used variegated Peaches & Creme
yarn to make them, also cut the yarn so that I could make them look striped. Another thing I did was use different size crochet hooks.

The wreath was very easy to make after the eggs where crocheted. All I did was tie the ribbon to wreath and glued the rabbit, eggs and flowers where I wanted them.. That is all, easy...

ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy.
DeleteAdorable. I know how to knit, very basically, but you have just given me another reason to want to learn how to crochet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim. These are not that hard to make, as long as you can single crochet that is all you need to do.
Deleteso fun! I love all those ideas. Will have to make a few of those eggs too, darling!! EMily@nap-timecreations... pinned!
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you make the eggs and what you do with them. I am sure you will do something wonderful. Thanks for the pin too Emily.
DeleteLovely set-up with bunny. And crochet eggs look great!
ReplyDeleteMarlys, The eggs are super cute! I added your pictures to my Pinterest board right away.
ReplyDeleteWhen you make beautiful but seasonal creations like this, what do you do with them after the season is over? Do you store them till the next year? Give them away? Take them apart to reuse the pieces?
ReplyDeleteThis was a really cute idea. I pinned it to my Easter Board
ReplyDeleteI love these eggs and so did everyone else at the In and Out of the Kitchen Link Party! This was the most viewed post at the last party. Thanks for sharing! Pinned and featured at this weeks party!
