I have not picked up a tatting shuttle for over a fortnight now as I've been crocheting these Lego tissue box holders for a Christmas Market. I do hope they sell as really value my time and hope it has not been wasted, especially giving up other crafts for them.
I am aiming to make at least a dozen, but finding that just 8 of them are taking up so much room. So used to tatting which can be put into the smallest space.

They sure are fun! If I had a small child, I’d be tempted.
ReplyDeleteActually Michelle they are aimed at adults with or without children!
DeleteThey are such a great idea! - so many children - and their parents - are addicted to Lego, I'm sure they'll sell. My youngest son is indulging himself with Lego sets, and justifies it by saying that it is all for my five-year-old grandson. Even the big electronic sets which are for teenagers......
ReplyDeleteMaureen we bought our 41 year old a lego car to make for his birthday. He also sells lego figures on his website musicalbrick.com. Not to mention the fact that 'im in the garage makes huge lego wooden men. Now even more crazy in our house with all these tissue box holders!
DeleteThose are very cute. Would look good in a child's room.
ReplyDeleteClever and fun. I hope they sell well!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally,
ReplyDeleteI thought you had been quiet for a long time, now I know why! I still love Lego which our daughters played with some 40 odd years ago! It fascinates me, I'll have to treat myself to some for Christmas.
I have to admit that if you hadn't mentioned Lego, I would have wondered why those discs were on top! This is a clever idea! I see there is an excellent tutorial on the web and it shows that the discs are sewn on after crocheting the box. I wonder if you can crochet them on. Your boxes are very nicely done, and, of course, are colorful! I do believe these would sell right away!
