Tutorial: Amigurumi Eggs

Airali's blog is full of cute little crochet creatures, patterns and amigurumi dolls. She has prepared a picture tutorial with step by step instruction on making these amigurumi eggs on her blog in both English and Italian. The instructions can also be downloaded as a PDF, if you want. You can make an owl, a pig, bee or anything else that comes to your minds. The finished animal egg can be used with a key ring to carry mints, pills, a secret message etc.

DIY: Owl Treat Bags

This is a simple and an easy project I found on Melissa's blog that you must try this weekend. This homemade Valentine treat bag will be perfect to give sweets in to your friends or to send some to your kid's school. These heart shaped owl bags are in fact sweet enough to be included in most of the occassions from birthday parties to showers.Just play with some colors and personalize them with a message.

Tip: You can also glue the corners of the bag or hand sew them. It'll only take a little longer than sewing them with the help of a machine. But totally worth a try!
