Last Sunday we made...
Button and Chained Wreath Ornaments
Some to keep and some to giveaway...
These two are now hanging happily on our Christmas tree.

This is a perfect beginner crochet project. Little people (or big people...) can perfect their chain stitch and whip up a chained wreath ornament at the same time.
Here's what you need... yarn, scissors, a crochet hook (any size will do) and ribbon.
Grab your yarn and hook and chain until your string measures about 5 feet long. Join with a slip stitch into the first chain creating a BIG loop. Tie off. Wrap the BIG loop around your fingers until you have a nice neat little circle. Tie the circle at the top using the tail from the starting and ending chain. Cut another piece of yarn, fold it in half, tie a knot and then tie this piece around your circle. Add some ribbons and your done.
Handmade happiness for your Christmas tree. ♥
nice thing

The wreaths are adorable! I can't wait to make some! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I'm totally into buttons and I love those little button wreaths. I may make some new ornaments for our tree this year!!
ReplyDeleteI love these. We are definitely doing some of these. We just might hang a picture in the middle.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, button wreaths are on my list for this year, I'll have to add crochet as well.
ReplyDeleteBless you! I've been wondering what to make for our BUNCO Christmas party as I like to give each gal something to take home with them. And this little wreath is just adorable.
ReplyDeleteThese are too cute! I think we may have to whip some of these up this weekend. I have buttons running out of boxes so this would be a great way to use some of those up. Plus this is a great way to intro my 7 year old son to crochet.
ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThose button wreaths are so cute! I'd love for you to link them up at the party this week over at Etcetorize. It's on now: http://etcetorize.blogspot.com/2011/12/make-it-great-monday.html
ReplyDeleteWe got some of the button wreaths done over the weekend. I posted a pic on my blog. http://lazydaisycrochet.blogspot.com/2011/12/its-tuesday-again.html No ribbon on them yet because I could not find it. Will have to buy some tomorrow on my weekly shopping trip. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteLove these both! What a fun thing to make with the grandkids! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! I've already made one and did a post about it with a link back to you! Here it is: http://sittingatourkitchentable.blogspot.com/2011/12/crochet-chain-wreath.html
