handmade gift tags

 

Do you ever make a gift, then put it away and forget about it? I like to wrap my items when they’re finished and put them all in the same closet so I know where they are when I need them.

As a special bonus, the Water Color Bundle also includes a sheet of 8 different handmade gift tags.

Rainbow Towel Holder Crochet Pattern

rainbow towel holder

I think it’s safe to say that everyone loves rainbows. They are a beautiful and awe-inspiring sight, and they always seem to bring a smile to people’s faces. There’s something about the way the colors of the rainbow blend together that is just mesmerizing. And the fact that they are a symbol of hope and promise makes them even more special.

I think one of the reasons why rainbows are so popular is because they are a reminder that even after a storm, there is always sunshine on the other side. They represent hope and new beginnings, and they give us the strength to keep going even when things are tough.

I’m so glad that rainbows are a part of our world. They make it a more beautiful and hopeful place.

To celebrate the release of my new book, Crochet a Rainbow, I’ve come up with another rainbow design for your kitchen – Rainbow Towel Holder.

Cotton worsted weight yarn:

5 yards purple

5 yards blue

6 yards green

6 yards yellow

7 yards orange

7 yards red

20 yards white
