Mixing Materials for Crafts + Letting Your Creativity Run Wild

Dear users, dear authors,
Are you ready to get started right away with the new material mix patterns? This is going to be great.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, pictures, information, etc.

The “Scrap-Eaters” gang uses up all the leftover bits and pieces you have, including buttons and toilet paper rolls, for example. Kids can join in creatively here and make their own pencil holder.

Jute yarn and cotton yarn :)

Peacock Percy  I crocheted from royal blue cotton yarn. To make the tail nice and feathery, I used eyelash yarn in a mix of colors for it. Since the tail is made of circles where only the last round is crocheted with the eyelash yarn, it’s not difficult at all, but looks very decorative. The protruding head feathers are shaped from blue chenille wire.



The body of Warming Monkey Bibo (=cover for a grain pillow) was crocheted from cotton yarn because it is heat-resistant. To make the little monkey nice and cuddly, though, I used fluffy cuddle yarn for the head and limbs.


No fewer than three types of yarn are used for Cuddly Bunny Hoppel : chenille yarn for the head, tail, and limbs, and cotton yarn or teddy yarn for the body. The ears are also lined with matching fabric. This creates very different textures that give the baby a very special tactile experience.

Cardstock pairs wonderfully with faux fur! The proof is this roomy St. Nicholas boot: despite its very simple shape, it looks almost real in this combination.



The boot has practical cord handles for easy carrying, measures approximately 18.5 x 21 x 9 cm, and is quick and easy to recreate with a little crafting experience.
