Quick Crochet Gift Tags

November 26, 2010 By Spoonful of Sugar - 29 Comments

I crocheted up a batch of small granny squares using  DMC Perle 5 in red and white, et voilà the Quick Crocheted Gift Tag was born.

These would also work well in other colours – I can just visualise them in some pastel hues for Easter.

    The thing I love the very, very, very best about these is that not only do they look SWEET, you don’t have to weave in the ends!

    So cool. You could paint them with Stiff Stuff (a fabric/wool stiffener) and then use them as tree decorations too! They are so sweet.

    Those are really sweet. I love red and white – such a fresh combination. And yes, done in Easter colors they would be pretty too.

    Love these! Did you sew them onto the tags or adhere them with something else?

      Hi Tara

      I used a small dot of glue in each corner to adhere them to the tag. You could stitch them on. They were a fun way to use up those small scraps of yarn.

Inspired by ancient pharaoh queens, they draw on generations of women, culture, sacrifice, and resilience to find their strength.Tess calls this “the book of her heart,” weaving her family history into a story of sisterhood, identity, faith, strong women, and delicious Egyptian food.While reading, I kept thinking about the three Albi sisters — Sarah, Aya, and Lola — each navigating their own challenges, each fighting for the life she deserves.So I stitched three Heart Bookmarks, one to represent each sister. A tiny handmade nod to their courage, creativity, and connection.Each bookmark is made from quilting cotton, wool felt, lace, and a silky tassel — quick to sew, lovely to gift, and perfect for marking your place in a story full of strong women.I was completely captivated by The Cairo Bridal Shop. The relationships between the sisters are truly the heart of the story — tender, complicated, loyal, and full of resilience.I loved the structure: six dresses, each inspired by a Pharaoh queen, each opening a new chapter of their lives. The cultural details, the food, the history, the Cairo setting — it all felt vivid and immersive.A beautiful, emotional story of family, identity, courage, and the strength we find in the women around us.If you only read one book this year, make sure it is The Cairo Bridal Shop.If you’d like to stitch your own Heart Bookmark, the pattern is free.Comment BOOKMARK and I’ll send you the link.A sweet, quick project — perfect paired with a good book.Thanks for being here — I love sharing small sewing projects that bring joy to your day.
