Grandma Christmas Trees Garland

Embellished with beads, yarn, letters and ribbon

Here is the final product as promised...many of you know I first blogged about these

 Grandma Christmas Trees 

(here).  

The trees are cute plain but I wanted to see how they would look with a few embellishments.  I found these little bead letters at Michaels and had to try them out.  The rest of the embellishments I had on hand except for buying a few ribbons in red and green. 

Another BIG thanks to Michelle The Royal Sisters for sharing her fantastic pattern (here)! 

Let's take a closer look at each one...

And finally the full garland presented...do you have a favorite tree?

The Grandma Tree Garland!

I liked this garland so much I started making more Grandma Trees in red, green, white, light blue, hot blue and rose.   They are super easy to make - can't say that enough.   There are so many uses for these cute little trees - you can attach them onto gifts too!

If you really like this garland stay tuned because I will be having my first give-away in November to celebrate my FIRST Blogoversary -  you can have a chance to win this crocheted garland and some other goodies.

Thanks for coming by to visit.  

Have a lovely weekend.  

Grandma Christmas Trees

Another great pattern, Grandma Tree Tutorial, from Michelle The Royal Sisters (here) and lots of fun to crochet!  This one isn't finished yet.  

I'm going to embellish it with beads and ribbon to make it into a garland.  

For now I'll just tell you it will be included in a gift package for a lucky someone for a special occasion coming up next month.

Up close...

Six little trees in a row...

Doesn't it look like a star!

I added an edging of single crochet.

Please come back tomorrow to see the finished project.  

Jolly Little Goody Bags

What's better than ONE?

Or TWO?

THREE is....!!!

A view from the top.

I was inspired by Yellow, Pink and Sparkly's Jolly Little Goody Bag (here) to use five left over granny squares (per bag) to make these colorful crocheted gift bags.   

I used the "join as you go" method with a F hook.  Add a pretty edging and a pretty ribbon closer and ta dah....a unique presentation.
