 CROCHET HOOK
The tiny crochet hook was made from the ring that secures the
milk jug lid (and that has to be removed when opening the
jug). We used scissors to cut it to shape.
 KNITTING BASKET
Purchased at Michael's: The Arts and Craft Store in the
floral section.
MINIATURE YARN BALLS
Use any kind of lightweight yarn to create yarn ball and
skeins. For these skeins, we unraveled about 4 feet of
Lion Wool into its four separate strands, got them damp, ironed
them to make them straight and then wrapped them into
skeins. We made labels, cut them to size, wrapped them and
secured them with tape. Click here

MINIATURE PROJECT SHEETS
Click here to download the miniature Lion Brand
project sheets to print on your color printer. After the are
printed cut them carefully to size. To keep ours organized,
we used a thumbtack to make a hole in the corner and put a jewelry
jump ring through the hole to keep them together. We
have also seen very tiny two-prong brads that could be used for
this purpose.
