Christmas Ornaments are one part of Christmas that I love. I have so many collected over the years. Making for myself or as gifts has always been a pleasure for me.
This set of Crochet Bows are in the mail and on their way to Guam for my daughters living room tree.
I used white Christmas yarn with a silver thread through it.
Each bow is just one row of a simple double crochet.
That was easy!
I then twisted each strip into a bow.
Put in a few stitches to hold it together.
The nice thing about crochet you can make your bows with a few more rows and make them thicker and longer.
Then came the little trinket for the center of the bow.
I chose little foam packages, thinking my grandsons might enjoy them.
Using a simple tacky glue to attach the trinket to the center of the bow.
These little ornaments can be used for a variety of decorating ideas and are also very light weight.
You can use a simple narrow ribbon or the standard wire hooks
to hang from your tree. Another use is to adorn your packages.
Use your imagination with these sweet little bows.
I might just make a set of Bows for myself!
The closer we get to Christmas the happier I get.

Have a great week!!
Those are adorable Sandy. I just bought some for our tree this year. I want a vintage home made look.
Very pretty. If I knew how to crochet, I'd make some. ;)
OH I love those bows. I might make some myself. Great B word
Such a pretty idea, I bet a tree covered in these bows looks stunning.
They are so cute! I am so excited for the Holidays!!!
Oh dear...you said, "Each bow is just one row of simple double crochet." You really know how to hurt a guy! :) Do you know how many times I've taken lessons over the years? It just doesn't seem to take. I actually can do nice even stitches, but I just can't count the individual stitches. I don't see it. I try and keep count as I go, but that doesn't work. So, I admire your ability. The bows are beautiful!
What pretty bows, and so much more so beacuse they are home made! I am all thumbs, but I am trying to learn how to crochet.
it is so artistic, love the color and the bow seems cute.
:)
Sandy these are so crafty and cute! I have some Easter eggs that my auntie crocheted years ago. She took plastic eggs and crocheted around them. I wish I had more of them. She was so talented. what a sweet post and made me smile with an old memory!
Those ornaments are just the cutest, and all the more precious because they are handmade. I sure wish I knew how to knit and crochet.
What a wonderful tree decoration!
What a lovely creation!
These are really unique. Very nice!
=)
I am so pleased my French Blue post helped you. The color really is pretty elusive but like I said "I know it when I see it" but can't describe. :) How sweet to make the cute bows for your daughter's tree. I know she will love them and will have a bit of your heart on her tree. :) Have a wonderful weekend.
I imagine that there will be high excitement when the package arrives in Guam. What a lovely Christmassy treat!
Wow! Those are ambitious and very cute. I'm such a holiday slacker; I can't even imagine doing this, so I admire you.
I missed the posting deadline for Alphabe-Thursday this week...feel free to stop by, tho... :)
I learned how to knit but never how to crochet. These are lovely,
Dana
Beautiful bows! I love the beginning of Christmas and all the great crafts. Hope you will include one each week at Alphabet Thursday. Check out my B post, if you get a chance.

HI Sandy, My grandmother crocheted and so did many of my aunts. I have some of the things they made tucked away, but I've not seen bows like this.
How pretty and lacy they are!
Thanks for a beautiful link to the letter B.

Your daughter will be thrilled when she opens her package!!! Thanks for sharing your lovely ornaments at the Tuesday To Do Party!
Smiles!
