For this weekend, I’m introducing a few crochet patterns where you can not only use up leftover yarn, but also reuse cardboard rolls and packaging.

An empty jam jar becomes a very personal gift package for your homemade sweets when you crochet a pretty cover for the lid.
The
candy jar with monkey and palm tree is especially perfect for homemade coconut cookies ;-))

The
bride and groom of this wedding couple were each crocheted around an empty Kinder Surprise egg capsule. This way you can open the two at the belly and hide a surprise inside (voucher, cash gift, or something similar).

The Queen’s 70-year Platinum Jubilee! Were you in London? No? But you’d love to take another trip to London?
This
royal guardsman is crocheted around a cardboard toilet paper roll. The upper body can be removed, so you can hide a little surprise inside the soldier: English candies, for example, or perhaps a voucher for an English course or a trip to London.
