Fresh crochet – Chunky buttoned scarf
This project is really easy and can be completed in a jiffy because it is crocheted with a thick, chunky yarn. It is a very practical scarf for the man in your life who doesn’t like the idea of a traditional scarf with flapping ends that always get in the way. The finished scarf measures approximately 84cm x 22cm.

Polymer Clay Projects: Mirror for a little princess
You can create the most amazing mosaic tiles using polymer clay. Because it is so much lighter than glass, even large projects will remain nice and light. For this project, I made paper-thin tiles using a punch to ensure that they were all the same size. The tiles are so thin, you can even use a pair of scissors to cut them into various shapes if you wish. I didn’t use grout between the tiles – the layer of clay under the tiles serves this purpose.

Scrap It: Photo multi-frame
Photo frames of all shapes and sizes are so easy to come by nowadays and are available from homeware stores, camera shops and stationers, among others. I simply printed my photographs all the same size and placed them in the multi-frame guides, then added rub-ons, lettering and other embellishments to create a scrapbook page in a frame, ready to display on the wall.

Vars gehekel: Gingham kombers
Hierdie kombers word aanvanklik in breë kleurstrepe gehekel, met glipsteke wat later vertikaal bo-oor hierdie strepe gewerk word (oppervlakhekelwerk) om die blokeffek te skep. Die voor- en agterbeensteke verleen egter so ’n interessante tekstuur dat dit selfs mooi genoeg is sonder die oppervlak-hekelwerk (die tekstuur loop vertikaal aan die een kant van die kombers en horisontaal aan die ander kant). Vir afwisseling kan jy vier in plaas van ses kleure gebruik (koop dan 4 x 100g bolle van elke kleur). As jy net drie kleure wil gebruik, benodig jy 5 x 100g-bolle van elk. Die mate van die voltooide kombers is ongeveer 115cm x 105cm.

Die boekmerk se voltooide mate is 16cm x 5.5cm.
