Mini Knitting

  • Completed Project: Mini Knitting Picture #1

For Fairies and Pixies!

I got the mini knitting idea from THIS blog that originally came from the lady who writes THIS blog.

Using tooth picks/cocktail sticks was my own idea. Plastic tooth picks would probably work as well if not better and if the picks/sticks are wooden it may help if you coat them with nail varnish, varnish or paint. The ones I used worked surprisingly well, no splinters!

The bag is my own idea.

This would be perfect for pretending the tooth fairy has been, taking the tooth but forgetting her bag! Or for Barbie accessories, as a cute gift or for fun.

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Knit as normal using tooth picks or similar with embriodery thread.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    To knit this bag simply knit a rectangle using the tooth picks and thread.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Fold over a third of the knitting and using the thread cut off from the knitting sew the 'pouch' part of the bag up (there is a ladybug bead in there).

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Cut a small peice of craft wire about 2cm long and insert the two ends into the 'pouch' part and twist and place flat against the pouch with pliers.

    Do the same on the 'flap' part but insert one end first then thread on a bead. Insert the other end into the 'flap' and twist into a straight line. I tried to make a hook with the wire but keeping it straight worked better.

    Sew the thread left on the top corner of the bag down into the bottom corner of the 'flap' take it round the back into the other corner to make a strap, tie a knot and done.

You are so cute!
I read 'ladybug bead' as 'ladybug head' first and thought it was a bid off colour for you! Hehe.

I love the idea of mini knitting. I wish I was mini too!

it wasn't actually I thought i'd never be able to make it work cuz of how small everything was and definatly thought the tooth picks would splinter. Sometimes the thread would catch a little bit but not as bad as I thought. I was knitting quite tightly and it still worked!

I'll be making stuff as embellishments for cards and stuff but I think complicated stuff might make them snap, when I increase stiches the knitting always goes really tight! For stuff like that I'll definatly have to have painted ones.

Jasmin I thought you were gonna say you put varnish on them cuz they splinters not cuz of an allergy to wood! So the varnish works in two ways! Go me!
