Flower Hair Tie

Even though it's winter, it's nice to have some touches of spring for your outfit. A few simple crochet stitches produces a beautiful row of "petals". Use bright yellow with black elastic balls and make black-eyed Susans, or even yellow and white for daisies -- the color combinations are endless.

Lace Knit Candle Holder

Try something new! This easy, quick project is a wonderful introduction to lace patterns, and it makes a great gift. You can also use this cover for a pencil holder or even a small glass vase.

Of course, always make sure that the candle you use is in a glass holder, have an adult help you light candles, and never leave burning candles unattended.
