Window pearls

How about a white crochet table cloth soaked in sugar and dried? With pearls on (i.e. a window star). It may sound a bit strange, but it’s actually a more sophisticated version of the heart on the picture shown. To make the heart I simply formed the heart shape out of 1 mm steel thread, and used a thinner thread to wire the pearls on.

To make the crochet window star; Crochet a ‘small’ (‘lagom stor’ in Swedish) table cloth with cotton yarn. There are plenty of patterns to choose from out there, so pick one with a size and design that you like for your window star. (The star on the picture is 20 cm approx.) Or maybe you have one at home that doesn’t want to be hidden under a vase or lamp somewhere or forgotten in a drawer.

To make the star stiff; Boil one cup of water with one cup of sugar and let it cool. Brush the sugar water onto the star until it is soaked. Let it dry. Embroider on some pearls if you like. Hang it. Done!

My grandmothers house is a good place for crocheting. :)
