Has strawberry season started for you yet?
If you’d like to wait for local strawberries, you can enjoy this little craft project in the meantime: You can also use this decorative tea light holder as a container, since there’s room inside for a few small items.


 
The holder is made of photo cardstock and is about 10 cm tall. It’s easy to make, but some crafting experience and dexterity will be helpful here.

You can crochet some really cute little finger puppets from leftover yarn. Young children, especially those in preschool, love these puppets, which seem to come to life on their fingers. They fit in any pants pocket, so you can easily take them along on long car rides to keep the kids entertained. 

With these hand-crocheted little puppets, you can bring children immense joy. There are no limits to your imagination. Take a look at my collection of finger puppets — you’re sure to find plenty of inspiration there!

Here are a few examples:

 Kasperl and Grandma
Kasperl needs to be especially colorful and cheerful. You can either use a scrap of colorful gradient yarn or lots of small colorful scraps. For Grandma’s hair, I used fine mohair yarn. Her shawl is also made of mohair yarn.

Clown
Of course, the funny clown has to be dressed as colorfully as possible, too. This is perfect for using up the tiniest scraps of yarn.


The Frog Prince
The fairy tale of The Frog Prince was my son’s favorite. I designed this little finger puppet for him back then. And now there is a pattern for it, too!

Dolls (35–40 cm) need summer clothes too. You can knit them quickly and easily from leftover yarn. For example, this pretty clothing set could bring great joy to a doll mom. See if your leftovers are enough for it and get started right away.

To match, you can knit this cute little doll dress. It looks enchanting together with the leggings, and every doll mommy’s eyes will light up. With the pattern, you can even knit the little dress in several sizes and dress lots of doll siblings with it.
