Crochengy

I hope you liked my last post on my best friend's wedding gift and checked out the tutorial videos! For my second part of the wedding gift, I made barefoot sandals since they are the raving fashion in crochet nowadays. I found a lovely pattern on Ravelry  and decided to glam it up with beads. Check it out: This is also my first attempt at the barefoot sandals and adding beads to crochet work, it looks so precious, doesn't it? I feel like the more you experiment with different projects, the more diverse your experience will be. It doesn't matter if you have 10 years experience or 10 days, every time you try a different project, you are back to square one and you are a beginner. Have you started a new project lately?

I am sure I missed a couple of tips and tricks while the lady was talking in the video, but I ended up with a beautiful piece and my friend couldn't wait to wear it! I made sure to tie at the end of the strings wooden balls, so they don't get affected by water and rust. I also found a great article...

I was in charge of making the corsages and making a fashionable headpiece for her. I learned how to make accessories, how to spray paint on fake plants and leaves, and finally I learned how to assemble the corsage pieces together all from Youtube.
