2. Making Kumihimo Bracelets with Buttons
It's fun to do crafts with friends
Chances are you’ve done this yourself when you were younger: making bracelets. With a handy Kumihimo disk, you can create the most colorful bracelets in no time. Use a round disk to make round bracelets, and a square disk to make flat ones. This craft technique is perfect for kids (ages 7 and up). So pick up a spool, grab some colorful balls of yarn, and start knotting away. You can read all about Kumihimo here.
3. Crocheting your name onto a basket
Brighten up your room with a crocheted name
Are you looking for a cute basket for toys, blankets, or your dirty laundry? Then a hand-crocheted basket is just the thing for you! This is a super fun craft to do with your (grand)children, because it’s not complicated at all. You can choose the word “love” like we did, or go with a name or “laundry” if you’re making a laundry basket. A crochet loom will help you create these fun words. Want to get started with the free pattern for the basket shown above? You can find it on our blog.
4. Making a Lucky Doll Keychain
It's fun to do crafts with your (grand)children
These keychains are super easy to make, because all you need are wooden beads, a Crochet Hook, and a few balls of Yarn and Colors Must-Have Mini. Are you making these with younger kids who can’t crochet yet? Then choose the largest beads and let the kids draw cute faces on them with a marker. That way, the keychains still get a personal touch. You can find more instructions on how to make these lucky dolls here.
