How to make your own YARN-Tainer!

If you don’t want to wait for your yarn-tainer to arrive in the mail…or you simply don’t want to spend that much on a container with a hole in it then keep reading …I’m going to help you make your own yarn-tainer!

This is what you’ll need:

  • Jewelry Pliers
  • small crochet hook
  • container (I got mines from dollar tree)

Steps:

  • Find the small dot on container lid sometimes there are two and sometimes there is one in the center. I already poke a hole through mines lol (sorry)

  • take your jewelry pliers and poke a hole through the lid, make sure the hole is big enough to pull your yarn through

 




  • open your container and take your crochet hook put it in the hole and grab your yarn from back to front
  • close the lid
  • and crochet!

 

and there you have it your own Yarn-Tainer!

A yarn and Cupcake Kind of day!

Today was pretty awesome. Work was great and I met up with Hubby and our cousin Garrett. They decided to go to the yarn store with me 🙂 When I went inside the yarn store “LOOP” I was like a kid in a candy store! And I shop til I dropped! I brought a new crochet hook which I absolutely love! And four balls of sheep yarn! I manage to remember to take pictures before I left the store 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before we went home we went to a bakery call sweet freedom its “Philadelphia’s first and only completely gluten-free, vegan, allergy-friendly bakery! ” Before you first walk in the door you can smell fresh bake goods! It was awesome.
