How to make crochet bookmarks

  Hi there crafters For those who are new to crocheting, starting small is a good place to begin and practice those stitches. What I have made in the picture above is five different coloured crochet bookmarks.  I am currently reading five books, so wanted to make a bookmark for each book. Because, I like to stop and read one book and start another but then go back and finish the first book.  Here is my pattern:  Chain stitch as many as you want, based on how long you want your book mark to be. Then turn it over and single crochet down the chain stitches. At the end do one chain stitch, and then repeat one more row. Tie off. Leave a long tail so you can find y oh r bookmark in your book.  I will be making a YouTube video on how to do this as well in the near future. Checkout littlemissmel23 that is my YouTube channel.  I hope you enjoy crocheting your bookmarks! Please comment below if you tried it.  #crochet #crochetbookmarks

Three miniature DIY kits for $3 each

  My friend messaged me and she was like, “Mel, I got you a gift.”  The next day she gave me this amazing gift. Three miniature DIY kits, medium size ready for me to build.  Small miniature DIY kits normally cost around AUD $50 online. But in shops they can drop to AUD $15 when on sale. You wouldn’t believe what my friend paid. Can you take a guess? She paid as little as $3 a kit and she bought three it’s for me. Two of which are mainly pink, which is my favourite colour and the other kit is a lavender colour.  I looked online and yes they had the price for AUD $29 each. So it pays to go to the actual store for any discounts. What a bargain and probably at least a one month project for each.  #miniature #diykit #shopping
