What to do?

[Daydreamer-girl]

I have crocheted (so far) 4 of these pineapple butterflies: http://www.crochetmemories.com/archive/may9.html I was planning of having them on a doily, but they got much bigger than I thought.

 

So now I´m not sure what to do with these. The only thing I have come up with is to make them into napkin rings...

I don´t want to sew them onto any garments or anything like that.

 

Do you have other ideas for me?

Those would make lovely gift embellisments. You know, when you've got a gift wrapped and everything, you just loop some ribbon through the embellishment and tie it on.

 

I'm thinking about doing these (if I have time) for Christmas gifts, but those butterflies would be appropriate for just about ANY gift.

I agree they would be good gift decorations or even starch them and use them as ornaments.

How big are they? Are they small enough to make into pins or earrings?

[DesertCrocheter]

I like the gift decorations idea. If you have sheer curtains, why not starch and pin them on for decoration? Or attach to a large pin and use as a shawl pin (if you wear shawls), or a scarf pin (if you wear scarves).

 

I left the crocheted snowflakes I hung from my kitchen ceiling last Christmas up, because I loved how they looked. Everyone who sees them for the first time says "Oh! How cute!" and smiles. reminds me that our neverending heat will end someday.

They are too big to wear as earrings.

Originally I was hoping I could use them as a gift of some sort, but the gift embellisments and ornaments was a good idea. And I thought the snowflake were really nice

 

If you have more suggestions, just let me know

Frame them and hang them on the wall.

You can send them to me! :laughroll

 

Ornaments sound like a good plan - I bet they would be lovely looking like they landed on some Christmas Bells or something.

They´re being blocked now, so I´ll see what happens with them when they are dry.
