Winter Wonderland Crafts!

Valentine Hat

Baby, it's cold outside" seems to be the understatement of the New Year. With temperatures below zero in so many areas of the United States, I imagine winter boredom abounds! Cabin fever, here we come!

You are in luck though. I've found some creative outlets to help you (and me) stave off the snowbound blues, and hopefully keep the crazies from creeping in.

DIY Sherpa Boots

Valentine's Day Wreath

Sweater Head Wraps

From a crocheted Valentine's Hat to a funky Love Blocks Sign, you'll find something fun to make to take your mind off the chilly temperatures and winter dull-drums, and perfect for sharing on Valentine's Day. The DIY Sherpa Boots and Sweater Head Wrap will keep head and feet nice and toasty too.

Love Blocks Sign

May I suggest adding a hot cup of tea, cocoa or cappuccino to any of the crafts featured here? Just to make sure your fingers stay warm and mobile!

A Few More Valentine's Ideas!

Need a few more Valentine gifts for teachers, friends, co-workers, or that special someone?  Below are just a few of the fun and frilly Valentine crafts that wait for you at Craftown!  Unleash your creativity and make something home-made, whimsical and thoughtful for your next Valentine, or any occasion gift!

Tatted Heart

I don't know much about tatting myself, but our awesome needle craft creator, Esther over at Crafts by Starlight, is an expert in tatting.  She creates most all of our tatting patterns (her original work of course) and she is an amazing needlework pro!  Thanks Esther!

Sweetheart Headband

Our very own, Miss Jenny, is our other "crafting star!"  She creates the wonderful wood crafts and truly inspiring vinyl crafts that we feature.  Her other hidden talent...Knitting extraordinaire!  She created this sweet headband that you can make for your sweethearts!

Baby Sweetheart Beanie

Did I mention she crochets too?  Yes!  That woman does it all...shout out to Miss J to show our support and adoration for all her creations!  This super sweet baby beanie is perfect for Valentine's Day for your littlest sweet heart.  Create one in pastels for Easter too.  (It'll be here before we know it!)

Enjoy!  We love feedback and photos!

Nifty Needlework Gifts for Valentine's Day!

If you are searching for something unique and creative to gift your valentines this year, and you love to crochet or knit, might I suggest one of our free patterns?  We have tons of amazing free crochet and knit patterns over at Craftown that you will love.  Most of them are very easy with a few intermediate & advanced patterns sprinkled in to keep your interest!

Child Hoodie with Scarf

This cozy little hoodie is perfect for bundling up in to romp around the house this winter and into the spring.  Although the pattern calls for no buttons, I think fasteners or toggles could easily be added for a little bit of flair, especially if they are heart-shaped!

Tied Headband

This knitting pattern is especially clever and fun to create.  I love hair accessories and this one doubles as a cute headband and ear-warmer.  Also, knitting it up in pinks, reds, and oranges will keep you trending into Spring!  Knits are in!

Crochet Checker Board

Checkers and Chess are two favorite games around our house.  You will have fun creating a crocheted board!  Now why didn't I think of that?  I think it's also so much fun that our designer Esther over at Crafts by Starlight thought to make it the perfect size for M&M candies as checker pieces!  Clever girl!

Enjoy!  Remember, we love feedback and photos!

Valentine's Day Accessories!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and it's not too late to craft something special for yourself or a loved one.  We have some sweet and heart-felt craft ideas at Craftown waiting for you!

Valentine Envelope Backpack

This whimsical envelope shaped backpack is sure to delight even your littlest valentine sweetheart.  And, it can easily be adapted to accent any holiday or outfit by changing up the color of yarn and/or accents.  I can easily picture this in a cheery yellow color with robin egg blue ribbons for Easter (*wink*).

Circle Head Band

The circle head band is another nifty hair accessory that becomes a delightful addition to any hair style.  Again, this piece can be made in so many color combinations, for small and larger heads too!  Unleash your creativity and make up several for your friends and family.

Adult Flip Flop Slippers

Last, but definitely not least, this pattern for adult flip flop slippers is simple, easy, fun & economical!  They make a great little slipper for treading across hard wood and tile floors.  And I think they would be fun to make for a shower gift or to add to a "mommy" survival kit to take to the hospital on that special day.

 Use your imagination and turn these fun patterns into beautiful homemade gifts and accessories.  Enjoy!  Remember, we love feedback and photos!

No, It's Not Too Soon...

To think about Valentine's Day.  Before you know it, it will be here.  And you will be left wondering, "hey where did the last 45 days go since New Years?  It's true!  Get a jump start and make something special for your someone special.

Knitted Heart Washcloth

If you love to knit and crochet this craft is for you.  A combination of both techniques, this little washcloth makes up quickly and adds a little love to any kitchen.  While I do not suggest giving it to your wife for V-Day (or husband if he does dish duty), it will make a clever hand-made gift for a friend or family member.  

Crocheted Valentine Hearts

The great thing about these cute little hearts is they can be used in so many unique ways.  You could attach them to magnets for the refrigerator.  You could attach them to gift package as pretty accents.  You could add them to homemade cards to take your valentines to a whole new level!

Valentine Hand Warmers

Or maybe you need to give yourself a little something this Valentine's Day?  Too often we forget to tell ourselves loving or inspiring thoughts.  So, how about crocheting some fingerless gloves just for you to remind yourself how special you are?  Just a suggestion!

Enjoy!  Remember, we love feedback and photos!
