The color of this little bag can easily be changed as needed: For a small gift for a new baby, for example, the red photo cardstock can be replaced with a pastel color, or with white or cream-colored decorative paper if it’s a wedding gift—and suddenly the bag looks completely different and fits the occasion perfectly.



The bag measures approximately 16 x 12 x 5 cm and can hold small gifts such as pacifier chains, jewelry, baby bibs, as well as cash gifts and gift certificates. It’s easy to make and well-suited even for beginners.

This beautiful triangular shawl is perfect for weddings.

You can find the pattern here.



It combines two different lace patterns, both of which are interesting but not difficult. It’s knitted with sock-weight yarn, and the amount needed depends on the desired size. You can use one color or two—whatever you prefer.
The pattern is written out in full and presented in several knitting charts.

This shawl is also great to wear at weddings or other celebrations. It is crocheted from sock yarn, has a beautiful lace pattern and a charming ruffled edge.

Here you can find the pattern.

These crocheted bride and groom figures have space inside for a cash gift or a gift certificate. The secret: both figures are crocheted around a Kinder Surprise egg capsule. You can open the figures in the middle to reveal the surprise. Just a few scraps of yarn are all you need to crochet them.

Translated into English, chokers are close-fitting necklaces or collars and can be combined with all kinds of outfits.

Wrap bracelets are also totally on trend and always a beautiful, hip accessory. You can also make several bracelets in
different colors and combine them with each other.

The jewelry pieces are quick to crochet and super comfortable to wear.
Also a great gift or little present to bring along. Lengthened or
shortened accordingly, the bracelet can also become a cute anklet.

With these glittering bangles, you'll be beautifully accessorized at any celebration:

Bangle bracelets made from PET bottles - modern, colorful, and casual!

Here I show you a special method for making stylish bangles quickly and easily
with very little material.

You only need an old PET bottle, some yarn and, for a
touch of glamour, a piece of rhinestone chain - and in no time at all you'll have a truly
unique piece of jewelry. Also great as a gift or little present to bring along.

You can combine the bangles however you like. Whether just one
bangle (then perhaps a little wider), two, or several bangles worn at the same time
- they are always a real eye-catcher. Depending on which
colors you use, these pieces of jewelry can look either elegant (e.g.
in black and white), cheerfully summery (colorful in pastel shades), etc.

Without metal, flexible, and feather-light - making them very comfortable to wear.
Materials used: plastic from PET bottles, cotton (Catania Grande by Schachenmayr), rhinestone chain, jewelry glue.

The bangles are washable at 30 degrees in a laundry bag.

Sometimes you dress up for celebrations, and then you want to be well dressed. A delicate shawl always looks good for that.

You can find the pattern here.



Knitted from sock yarn, this stole is truly lightweight. It is knitted lengthwise and has a small lace pattern along the lower edge, which then transitions into ribbing toward the top. The yarn required depends on the desired size.
The pattern is written out row by row, and there is also a knitting chart for the lace pattern.

This triangular shawl, which can also be worn as a poncho, is sure to turn heads at any celebration.


It always makes a woman look her best. The lace pattern combined with the waves creates a fantastic 3D effect.

Difficulty level: medium—for advanced knitters (this pattern requires counting).

The shawl/poncho can be worn in both summer and winter for any occasion. Of course, you can choose different colors as well.
