Brooches... for your glasses

This is an idea that came to me over the last Easter holiday.  I was making things for a craft market (the one that didn't go very well if you remember) and I had a few of these interlocking ring motifs which I really liked.  I kept wondering what to do with them and then came up with this very practical idea:  I'm starting to need my reading glasses more and more and thought this would be a nice way to keep them handy.

The loop is made with strong jewellery wire which is covered in double stitches in a coordinated colour thread so it all matches.


Pretty and practical - yes?











Although some of you may have seen these in my shop, I had always intended to do a separate blogpost about them.  I just never got around to it until now!

Just another idea of what you can use your pretty tatting for.


Best wishes,
Frivole

  5. That is a brilliant idea, I am also always trying to find new ideas for my craft table too. Would you mind if I borrow you idea but did something slightly different with it.
