A great table decoration for weddings or a romantic dinner at home;)

This is a very easy DIY tutorial on how to make this great flameless rose tea light!

I got inspired by this tutorial from Smart School House, only they used spoons and because I didn’t have them I tried without.

What you’ll need is a glue gun, a fabric rose and a flameless tea light.Cut the leaves from the rose and start with glueing the inside of the rose first to the tea light and then you add another layer till your petals are finished

and done!!!

infinity scarf

To make this cowl I used two skeins Ribbon Xl which you can buy here. I love the ribbon XL because it’s made from recycled cotton and because it’s cotton it doesn’t itch and is not to warm, but feel free to use any other kind of material that matches knitting needles size 17

Cast on 40 stitches en work in garter stitch, the width of the work has to measure aprox 16 inches. Than work in garter stitch till the work measures aprox 36 inches and cast of the stitches.

Put your work flat on the table and give it a twist, like shown in the pictures and close the short sides with an overhand stitch

You can wear it in different kind of styles

I have to admit, this is a tutorial on how to make a pouf from Pickles and not my own, but I love it. Pickles has a very good pattern and if I find the time I really want to make this.

Spool knitted bracelet

I love the french knitting dolls, but I’m often wondering what to do with al the strand, so I made this tutorial. This is also a great tutorial for kids

You’ll need a french knitting doll, the one in the picture I bought here. 3 colors yarn, the one I used is acryl and some electric wire.

First make a strand and than you put the wire in the strand (see picture)

Close the ends and put the bracelet through each other, and this is the result:)
