Cotton—in this case, even recycled yarn—works very well for knitting washcloths. It’s good for the environment and saves money, too. These wash mitts have an exfoliating effect. I made these to fulfill a friend’s wish, and she’s absolutely thrilled.

For leftover cotton yarn, the little baby shoe would be ideal, as a fun keychain or bag charm. My little great-nieces and nephews have them dangling from their kindergarten bag or school bag. It’s also a lovely gift idea for young mothers, grandmas, or for a baby shower. And it’s quick to crochet with very little material needed.

Or Easter egg chicks, beautifully colorful as flower picks or for the Easter branches. Easter always comes sooner than you think, and they’re quick to crochet. Your leftover cotton yarn will disappear quickly with these.

Last but not least, I can offer you a free crochet pattern. Chickens for the Easter branches, as table decorations, or set on a little moss for the windowsill—they look really sweet during Lent.
Quick to crochet, little material needed, and great for using up your leftover cotton yarn.

Aus Baumwollresten kann man viele hübsche Kleinigkeiten machen. Ich z. B. häkle sehr gerne Lesezeichen daraus, denn in meinem Freundes- und Bekanntenkreis gibt es viele Leseratten, die sich über ein originelles Lesezeichen freuen.



Für das lustige Clown-Lesezeichen brauchst du kleine Restmengen in vielen bunten Farben - je bunter, desto schöner! Der Clown wird etwa 18 cm groß und kann auch auf ein Shirt appliziert werden.




Das Froschkönig-Lesezeichen ist natürlich besonders für alle, die gerne Märchen lesen, ein tolles Mitbringsel.




Und hier ein süßes Fuchs-Lesezeichen. Meine Enkelin hat sich sofort in ihn verliebt und wollte ihn unbedingt haben, auch wenn sie nicht viel liest.Jetzt hat sie ihn als "Kuscheltier für die Hosentasche".

Ich habe eine große Kiste mit bunten Baumwollgarnresten. Daraus kann man wunderbare Sachen häkeln. Ich zeige Euch ein paar Ideen von mir und wünsche viel Freude beim Nachmachen.

Herzliche Grüße von Ina

Stifterolle

Man kann sie für Stifte oder Pinsel benutzen. Alle Stifte werden eingsteckt und dann wird die Lasche heruntergeklappt und das Etui zusammengerollt und zugebunden. So sind alle Stifte und ihre Spitzen immer bestens geschützt. Kann man auch wunderbar mitnehmen. Und dann ist die Stifterolle auch noch waschbar. Ein ideales Projekt für Baumwollgarnreste. Wir müssen übrigens fast keine Fäden vernähen ;-)





2 Bunte Eimerchen


Eine wunderbare Deko fürs Kinderzimmer oder den Hobbyraum. Innen drin verstecken sich 2 handelsübliche Joghurt-Eimer aus Plastik. Die werden hübsch verkleidet und dienen fortan als dekorativer Behälter für Stifte, Lineale, Pinsel etc.




Lieblingsherz
Das geht immer. Einfach in klein oder groß häkeln und an einen lieben Menschen verschenken. Kann man auch hübsch dekorieren, als Geschenk- oder Schlüsselanhänger nutzen oder mit dem Lieblingsparfum beduftet als Duftherz in den Kleiderschrank hängen.
