I joined an online plastic canvas group, and jumped right into their recent swap.

The theme was Halloween/Fall/Christmas.

After messaging my partner and learning she loves both Halloween and Christmas, witches and gingerbread being her faves, I set out to design some unique items to send her.

Below you will find what I made for here and if you click on the links in the individual photos you will open up the pattern.

 

THE CANDY BOX DOES NOT HAVE A PATTERN BUT THE FOLLOWING IS HOW I MADE IT

ONE FRONT AND BACK 19 X 21 HOLES

TWO SIDES 7 X 19 HOLES

I USED A 2.5MM CROCHET HOOK TO SC AROUND THE TOP THEN 2 ROWS OF HDC 1 OF DC AND 2 MORE OF HDC

THE RIBBON GOES THROUGH THE DC OPENING , FROM EACH SIDE

SORRY I LOST THE PATTERN I USED FOR THE HAT BUT YOU CAN FIND MANY ONLINE OF DIFFERENT PATTERNS THAT WILL FIT IN A 19 X 21 HOLE GRID.

YOU COULD ALSO SEW OR GLUE ON CUTE BUTTONS.

& HERE ARE THE LOVELY ITEMS I RECEIVED FROM MY SWAP PARTNER

She must have read my mind, I need some witch hats for my tree!

The bird reminds me of ornaments my Portuguese family would/do put on their Christmas tree, it will be displayed on ours as well.

The reindeer you squeeze his mouth and candy is in it, we were all suppose to make these but with my bad right hand they are to tight of stitching for me, so I made her the witch box above, she was more then kind about it and ended up loving it once she received it.
