Scrap Yarn Hangers

 Simple Tip:  Save those small scraps of yarn to create hangers on anything needing one.  We found punching a hole in the plastic bags for leaving Random Acts of Kindness around towns, made it easier to leave in random places (hook on the back of a bathroom door, end cap store shelf, etc.).

I simply store the very small balls of yarn in a cardboard shoe box, but those small yarn balls can come in handy.  

How to Crochet a Mini Scrap Thread Heart ~ Mini Crochet Heart Embellished Paper Clip

 

Items Needed:

-Scrap Cotton #10 Crochet thread, color of your choice

-Steel #6 Crochet hook

-tapestry needle to sew in ends

-scissors

-jumbo paper clips

-E6000 glue, odorless, dries clear

1. Crochet the mini heart using the crochet thread and above crochet hook:

Chain 4

Join to form ring, Chain 1, SC in ring, Chain 3

In ring -  (2 tr, 8 dc, 2 tr)

Ch 3, sl in ring, fasten off, sew in ends

Optional:  If you would like a point at the bottom of the heart, you would do this in the ring instead:

(2 tr, 4 dc, ch 3 sl in first stitch to create a picot, 4 dc, 2 tr)

Ch 3 sl in ring, fasten off, sew in ends

Made with no picot at the bottom of the heart.

Here is a heart with the picot.

2.  Using E6000 glue and safe work surface, glue the heart to the top of a paper clip and allow to dry. 

Note:  I purchase waxed paper from the dollar store, and use a flat toothpick to help guide the glue onto the heart.
