Welcome to the Craft Room De-Stash Challenge! My blogging friends and I are sharing projects we created using craft supplies already in our craft supply stashes. Since Christmas is quickly approaching, I decided that crocheting Christmas baubles would be an awesome way to use up some of my yarn stash. I am so excited for this time of year that I put up my Christmas tree yesterday, and I can't wait to decorate it with these colorful baubles I've been making. So far, I've made twelve, and I have some listed in my Etsy shop.
I gathered a bunch of skeins and balls of Caron Simply Soft yarn. I started with these colors and grabbed more from my stash later.
I bought a bunch of clear, plastic ornaments.
I crocheted the baubles by following the Crochet Christmas Baubles pattern in the book Boho Crochet.
I crocheted with a 3.5 mm crochet hook. I made a couple ornaments with metallic gold yarn that's been in my stash for a while. I had 3 balls of it, and I actually finished off one, so now I have two. I'll probably use those up creating more baubles. The metallic gold yarn is perfect for Christmas ornaments.
These baubles are made by crocheting two halves of a ball. Then you stitch them together around the plastic ornament.
I used a large yarn needle to sew the two halves together around the plastic ornament.
These baubles work up really fast, especially when you've got a good cup of coffee fueling you.
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my crochet Christmas Baubles! Scroll down to see my friends' crafty creations!

I love these crochet baubles. I made some similar myself a few years ago and absolutely loved the process, especially sewing them onto the baubles, it felt quite magically somehow! I Keep thinking I'll make some to add to Christmas gifts to make them look special but end up keeping them all for myself!
ReplyDeleteThey are very fun to make. I bought a few more ornaments today to make even more!
