Is someone in your circle of friends or acquaintances getting married? Most of the time, the bride and groom ask for money. To make sure it doesn’t come across as too mundane, you’ll need some creative gift wrapping. I have an idea for you: This crocheted wedding couple is crocheted over surprise egg capsules. You can place your monetary gift inside. And if you crochet the couple to resemble the real one (hairstyle, hair color, maybe even glasses), you’ll have truly original packaging that everyone will admire and that’s sure to be cherished for a long time to come.
The bride and groom are quick to crochet. All you need is a crochet hook, a few bits of leftover yarn, a scrap of white fabric for the veil, craft batting, and the pattern!

This craft bucket makes for a truly special kind of gift packaging. It’s a wonderful way to give a craft-loving friend some beautiful yarn, a matching pattern, and maybe even a crochet hook in the right size. She’s sure to love both the original and practical packaging and the creative contents. Plus, she’ll be able to use the bucket for future craft projects as well.

The craft bucket is quick and easy to crochet. And you can use your colorful leftover yarn. You’ll find more photos, information, and the pattern by clicking on this link: --> Crochet Pattern: Craft Bucket.

I hope you have fun making it and giving it as a gift. Ina

Sweets are always a welcome gift. With this funny lid for a candy jar, they instantly become a very personal gift. All you need is an empty jam jar, leftover cotton yarn, a crochet hook, and craft stuffing.
It's especially great packaging for coconut cookies!

These cute little baskets are also perfect for wrapping and giving small gifts. There’s no need to wrap anything—you can simply arrange the little items nicely inside, and you can reuse the basket later for other things.

The basket has a sturdy bottom and handles and is crocheted. It’s a lot of fun and not difficult at all. Click here for more pictures, information, and the pattern.

I hope you enjoy this project. Yours, Ina

For all VW bus and camping fans, this is the perfect gift!

• Leftover cotton yarn in black, gray, yellow, and red
• Crochet hook size 2.5 mm
• Polyester stuffing for filling (wheels)
• 1 thick sewing needle for weaving in ends and sewing the pieces together
• Hook-and-loop tape
• 1 box of chocolates with approximate dimensions of 14 cm x 7 cm x 7 cm

The Easter Bunny and the little chick are great for money gifts, gift certificates, and small surprises. Both are crocheted around an empty Kinder Surprise egg capsule. You can use fluffy yarn for this, as shown in the picture, but cotton yarn also works. Depending on the yarn used, the animals will turn out a little smaller or larger. If necessary, the space between the Kinder Surprise egg capsule and the little animal may need to be filled with a bit of felt.
The pattern is also suitable for beginners, because basic crochet skills are enough.

Here, the Easter Bunny is making himself comfortable in the nest, but there’s still room for a few little chocolate eggs!

The bunny and the basket were crocheted using the fluffy Lana Grossa Estivo II yarn (50 g = 150 m). With this yarn, you can still see the stitches, but if you brush the finished piece with a teasing brush at the end, it develops a soft, fluffy texture. Of course, the bunny and nest can also be crocheted using cotton yarn.
For added stability, the nest is lined with felt, which is then covered with a piece of cotton fabric. No special sewing skills are required, as the stitches aren’t visible.

Easy to make for beginners with crochet experience.
