Crochet Bow Tie Necklaces

I'm recently smitten with bow ties! I decided to crochet up some bow ties, adorn them with twine and attach them to a chain. Voila an adorable necklace!

I'm working on some smaller sized ones for some cute pins as well as making some out of fabric for more fun looks.

I will update this post with a tutorial for the bow tie when I make another one. I forgot to take pictures of the process when I made these ones.

Bunting!

I have a love hate relationship with sewing. I love to make things, but I'm very impatient. So when I decided to sew something I usually pick things that take about an hour to make.

Bunting is a really easy project and they're quick and super cute. I also love that you don't need to rely on a pattern.

I just cut a triangle out of card stock and get to it! I cut 2 pieces of fabric per pennant. From there, I sew up the triangles (right sides facing) and then clip the excess fabric from the bottom so when I turn them inside out, the point turns neatly.
Then all you have to do is press each pennant, place and pin on your bias tape and sew 'er up. Make them in plain fabric or add your own embellishments to the front! If you add things to the front, just make sure you put it on the front triangle before you sew the two pieces together.

If sewings not your thing, there are other ways to make cute bunting. I've also made bunting out of crocheted hearts and triangular granny squares!
