This fun tutorial by Rachel Wolf can be a great project to do with your child(ren). Also, you may already have tiny wooden ornaments or half-finished projects waiting to become your new zipper pulls! Scroll down on her post and check out the Spy Hat she has made; very unique with her beautiful yarn. Tutorial for the Spy Hat is available both in English and Dutch. Rachel is the contributing designer for the recycled sweater gnome hat in the Fall 2010 issue of Living Crafts, pictured below.






Some friends and I painted some wooded pegs last week. I was so surprised how easy it was and how great they came out. Next time I will have to try with the kids. Thanks!
