12 Sheepish Days - Day 5 Anthropologie Inspired Crochet Polka Dot Gift Wrap
Materials:
- White (non-glossy) gift wrapping paper
- Yarn
- Tacky glue
- Crochet hook (I used size G6/4.00 mm)
- Cardboard or a pom pom maker
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
Steps:
First, wrap your gift in the paper. Crochet several crochet circles by chaining 2 and doing 6 single crochets into the second chain from the hook. Bind off and weave in ends. I made around 25 circles for this package. Next, dab a spot of glue on the paper and place a dot directly on top, pressing firmly to secure. Repeat this step, placing the dots all over the paper in a random pattern. Allow several minutes for the glue to dry. Make a pom pom using a pom pom maker or this tutorial. I combined a blue and white yarn together for this pom pom. Take a long length of yarn and thread the tapestry needle. Bring the yarn through the pom pom and tie around the package. Secure with a knot.
I love how a few scrap bits of yarn can make such a big impact on a gift! If you give any of these projects a try share your photos while you are wrapping gifts! I would love to see your creations. :)
