Knifty Knitter and Weave-It Unite

Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments and a very warm welcome to the new followers, I wish you could pull up a chair, share a pot of tea and a slice of cake.  Instead I will share with you another very quick and easy make.  This time magnets to display my grandchildrens art work.

It started with buying this from a thrift shop whilst on holiday in Florida.

 

I had never come across these looms before so I must admit I was rather intrigued.  It was worth the $3 paid for the novelty.  Cut a rather long and boring story short, I used natural twine (jute) and made the flower using the round loom.

 

I added a wooden tag, so that I could stencil each child's name on and using a hot glue gun glued on a clothes peg to keep all the art work together.  All it needs now is a magnet glued to the peg and it will be perfect on the fridge.

 

In a very similar vain, I thought I would share this delightful find from Renningers, Mount Dora from a couple of holidays ago.  A steal at $5 and a real pleasure to add it to my craft room collection.

It suggests using the weave-it to make dishcloths, that really made me smile.  I remember having something similar as a child but it was made from plastic.  Any ideas on age?

 

Hope you have a wonderful day.
