Crochet Wreaths & Such
Save all of your ring shaped trash like the core of a transparent tape roll. You can use these items as wreath or napkin ring bases to crochet on. I have designed two patterns using these empty tape rolls. One is a wreath and the pattern is available for free at . The other one is a napkin ring pattern and it's available at .
