I've made lots of purses. Here's a tip. Since you are lining the bags, all you need to do is have the tail ends in-between the lining & the crochet, as long as they are tied off enuf so not to unravel. Or crochet over the tails & then leave a bit of the tail inside.

Cute backpack boxes. It'd put a key tag on the mini plushies & call them Back Pack Mystery Buddies. They would be a Back Pack Buddy in a back pack box.

That is so funny I cut out the part of the video where I ramble on about making them backpack buddies!! Great minds think alike! Thank you for the advice !🥰

Hair clips are cuuuuute! FYI - if you have a heat/label printer for shipping labels you can use it to make stickers with your label, question marks, whatever.

Bonjour. Je viens de découvrir ta chaîne. Bravo pour celle-ci. 😊 J’aimerais savoir à quel endroit je pourrais me procurer les crochets avec lequel tu travailles dans cette vidéo? Merci beaucoup et bonne continuité. 😊

You should just attach a tag to the backpack so people can use it for other things after without it saying mystery box and then they get to take the tag off their new bag, like a backpack in the store

@BlondieKnots

Ай бұрын

ohhh i didnt think about that! Thank you for that idea!

Dana,I don't know anything about the romanian cord. Does it have much stretch? I hate stretchy straps! Do you crochet with a gaming/crochet pillow? I was skeptical, but I can crochet for hours in end no neck, shoulder, elbow pain. I can't speak for back pain as I have had chronic pain for the past 20 years, so I can say it doesn't get worse, lol.

@BlondieKnots

Ай бұрын

one of the best parts of the romanian cord is it has little to no stretch! ( depending on the yarn you use) I love it because I too hate a stretchy strap. And oh interesting, I might need one because I do get shoulder and back pain pretty often. Im so sorry about your chronic back pain but I do really appreciate you sharing that recommendation with me!
