2 Liter Bottle


I have become obsessed with making crocheted purses from plastic bottles. This is my crochet 2 liter bottle and I plan on using them to give as gifts. My idea is to put crocheted slippers, crocheted cap/hat or something to that affect, to give as gifts.

I see so many plastic bottles hit the trash cans, it has put me in a state of panic. Please try and recycle your plastic bottles. I know that the caps and the cap band left over can not be recycled, but there is someone out there that wants these, so put them in a box and save them, sell them, give them away, just don't throw them in your trash bin.

Once, I get over this obsession with the bottle purses, I am going to head on to crafting with the caps. I am also working on the top portion of the plastic bottle to make tussie mussie cones. I have listed one on a previous page but I need a smaller version for hanging on the tree as an ornament. I think I have an idea which is in the works and involves decoupage and beads and just a little bit of crochet. One can always replace crochet with ribbon.

Tomorrow I will be listing a new version of the tussie mussie.

Busy Week


This was an extremely busy week. I really didn't have time to craft as much as I would have liked. I did accomplish creating a crochet flower from the plastic ring left from the cap of a plastic bottle. This will be nice to add to my plastic bottle crochet purse. This flower can be used as a hair piece, a brooch, or just use your imagination. I still need to decide what to do with the cap, before I head on to my next project.
