Holliday decorations for the shop...

As I've told you before, I'm in my knit/crochet year... I'm involved with my LYS and I'm there almost every day, Monday to Saturday. I'm teaching crochet and helping with a lot of things and learning.... learning a whole lot of amazing and fun things!!!!

Last week we started thinking about the decoration for the Hollidays for the shop...
We went to Hobby Lobby and bought a whole bunch of ornaments and lights for the store front...
Next I worked with 2 girls to make yarn ornaments...
 We made a mixture of water and glue and soaked yarn in it...
Then we squeezed the yarn to take out the excess of glue-y mix and wrapped it around balloons...
... and hung them so they could dry over night...
When they're ready, dry and hard, we'll pop the balloons and hang them around the shop as Ornaments...

We also crocheted some stars...
And finished them with a golden trim...
We haven't made a lot, but we don't need a big amount.
Here you can see the size of them

****************************************
So this week, we popped the balloons, we took out the lights and decorations and worked around the shop to add more color and some bright and sparkle spots...
 Can you see the colored lights and snowflakes (crocheted) under the arch in the photo above??
and you can see how the balloons turned out!!! we were very pleased with them and made 8 more to complete de decoration.... to pop next week.
The next photo is kind of small, but maybe you can see the bright lights framing the windows ? and the ornaments hanging in the middle of them??
And last, the crocheted stars in the window... we still need to block them, and maybe make some more...
Is your LYS decorated??

See you soon!

  2. Fantastic! Can yarn balloons be displayed all year round? They look very fun.
