Aaw! Cute little box.
Looks so cute, cant wait to make one!
This is a great idea, and sooo cute. You could even add some wee eyes and a smiley face.
what is the best kind of yarn to use for this? i started out using some cotton but that was just all floppy and discombobulated (omg i spelled that right) then i tried it using plarn but i was trying to remember the pattern off the top of my head and epically failed. lol
I just used acrylic, nothing special. If you have any of that cheap red heart yarn, it’s really stiff stuff. It’s the small hook that should make the stitches tight so that it won’t be so floppy. But of course it won’t be stiff like a cardboard box.
thanks :] i was gonna use red heart at first, but i would of had to get up to get it, and cotton was on my bedside table. hahaha.
Very cute. Where do you get these ideas from? they are awesome!!!!!!!!
