Honey Flower Motif

This motif is fast and easy to make and would look wonderful in a rainbow of colors in any afghan. Here is an idea. Get the 6 colors of the rainbow and a skein of white yarn. Make a bunch of these with white in the center and the colors on the last round. Then sew or crochet them together with the white yarn. I think this would be breathtaking.

Random Quick Tip!

No Crochet Beaded Garland
Use colorful Christmas yarn and assorted beads to make a garland. No need to crochet for this one. You will need a needle with a large enough eye so that you can get the yarn through it and also small enough to go through the beads you want to use. Then to work the beads on so that they will stay on but not be all bunched together, cut your yarn so you have about 30 feet. The tie a bead on one end and put the needle on the other. Then string on another bead, but pass the needle through it twice the same way, then knot the yarn close to the bead so it will stay where you want it. then repeat this with as many beads as you can fit on your yarn. Make each bead about 3/4" to 1" apart. You can use a wide variety of beads this way and get a very beautiful effect depending on what you use for yarn. A metallic yarn with plain beads would be very pretty.
