National Crochet Month 2012 – Multi-Purpose Postcards
National Crochet Month 2012 is a great time to spread the word about our love of the hobby. These postcards can be used for more than just postcards by the recipient. These make great decorations for a craft room (bulletin board). They can also be used as coasters and are a great size for coffee mugs. Or how about using this as a granny square in a larger project?
But perhaps the best and most novel idea would be to reuse it as…a postcard! By simply removing the cardboard piece and attaching a new cardboard piece, this can be reused again as a postcard! I’ve seen crafters reuse greeting cards before, but never like this!

FREE Sachet Bag Crochet Pattern – Such Adorable Bags
Soap isn’t the only thing these draw string bags are good for. They make great gift card holders! You can also use these as pouches for storing electrical devices such as an iPod and cell phones. These mini bags are most notably recognized as potpourri sachets and scented sachets or as wedding favors and bridal shower favors. These make great gift wrapping for smaller gifts like chocolates and jewelry. You’ll be so delighted with your sachet, you’ll come up with a lot of little uses for it.
Your sachet bags will vary in size depending on the size hook you use. We used hook E with Red Heart Eco-Cotton yarn and our bags measure 2 3/4 inches x 6 inches.
Crochet a stick of dynamite and you’re in for a bang! These toy explosives are small enough for your pocket but they pack a big enough punch for the big jobs. Add a bit of yellow and orange string to the end of the wick and these toys are lit!
Panda hats are cute, cuddly and just plain fun….and babies look beary adorable in them! The world is infatuated with panda bears, which are currently listed as an endangered species. The black eye patches, ears, legs and shoulders make the panda distinctive looking and fun to recreate in yarn. We have done just that with our panda hat for babies.
