Luckily, I have a good habit of taking notes, so I don't forget how to make things. But of course, it'd be nice to have an actual edited crochet pattern that I can share with everyone who visits my blog.
Usually taking and editing photos is the last step, so I'm surprised I got that far and still have yet to publish it.
Anyhow, this leaf sprout was created back in spring, which would have been perfect. But I had completely forgotten about it until now.
But these little leaves can sprout any time of the year!
Since it's almost back-to-school season, I guess it's time to get organized and start fresh. What's better than some bookmarks and cable ties to get you organized right?
Oh, and did I mention that my little BB is starting Kindergarten this year? Now there's three times the amount to get organized: my work life, my blog, and my child.
These leaf bookmarks are really cute, quick to make, and a great stash-buster to help you get rid of those little balls of leftover yarn that are too small for anything else.
These are also great for craft fairs since they're so cute, practical, and actually really easy to make!
Remember to like Once Upon a Cheerio on Facebook. I'd also love it if you followed @onceuponacheerio on Instagram!
Don't have time to make it right this instant? Pin it for later!

Is the leaf tie pattern able to be worked where a thin wire could be crocheted into it? Such as making it almost like a twist-tie? Not sure how that could be worked in but wanted to ask if you had any experience or knowledge of how the pattern is adjusted to do that. :) thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you can make it work somehow by either making single crochets around the wire, or making an i-cord with a wire inside it.
