But that's why I'm so excited to share this one with you today. This was completely a stash project for me too. The denim scraps I commandeered from my mom's stash. I think they were some shorts one of my siblings had in the 90s. I loved the print though, and wanted to turn it into a clutch. I used some white denim that I had in my fabric stash to make the hand strap. I love the hand strap because it makes it easier to hold onto the clutch itself. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out too.\n\u003c/P\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe tutorial is pretty simple too. You can raid your own stash for fabric, look in remnant bins at the fabric store, or go to a thrift shop to find some cool patterned denim.

So I made two potted shamrocks and one potted four-leaf clover.

So I adapted that the pattern to make it on a smaller scale that can be easily adjusted to be three or four leaves, depending on your preference, by starting with it a magic ring.

It is a bit fussy, however, because it uses a magic ring. I got pretty good at these after while though and barely needed to refer to the pattern. The pattern calls for an 'E' hook so that the stitches are nice and tight. However, I did not have an 'E' hook. It was the second pattern I used in a week that called for an 'E' hook. For some reason I had a 'D' and an 'F', but not 'E'. Grr. Since the yarn I'm using is a bit lighter than worsted weight, however, the 'D' hook worked fine. I just had to be extra careful not to split the yarn while crocheting.

I have the tiniest ledge so it's tricky to find things that will safely fit on it. I had recently finished a jar of homemade pomegranate jam my mom had made, which I'm sad about finishing, but on the upside I had a cute little jar to repurpose. I took out the metal lid, but kept the metal ring on. Then I popped in a little tealight candle. To finish it off, I crocheted the small version of the crochet heart. Then I tied it around the jar. Simple, but I think it's cute.\n\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWell, that's it. My very modest Valentine's decorating. For now anyway, I have more projects in mind!

I bought a fat quarter bundle and choose 3 of the fat quarters to make these pot holders. One I used to make bias tape and the other two I used to cut pieces for the potholders.

I use regular stamp ink since the potholders won't be washed much. If you have fabric ink, then you can use that too. Stamp the letter of your choice close to the folded edge and let dry completely.
