I've made lots of purses. Here's a tip. Since you are lining the bags, all you need to do is have the tail ends in-between the lining & the crochet, as long as they are tied off enuf so not to unravel. Or crochet over the tails & then leave a bit of the tail inside.
Cute backpack boxes. It'd put a key tag on the mini plushies & call them Back Pack Mystery Buddies. They would be a Back Pack Buddy in a back pack box.
That is so funny I cut out the part of the video where I ramble on about making them backpack buddies!! Great minds think alike! Thank you for the advice !🥰
Just found your channel and I’m so happy to find another maker/ market girl who doesn’t do only plushies! I am located in Southern Illinois and sell granny square bags and cardigans along with other crochet things at local markets!
Its a beutifull autumnday in Sweden. A perfect day for a cup of tea with hunny that I bought on a market last fall. Joining grannysquares for my cardigan in autumncolors (of course) Enjoy your videos.
OMG!!!!!!!! I am obsessed with the crafts you made in this vlog!!! I am newish to crochet and I would love to know where I can find patterns for the flowers, granny bags, everything!! 😂 Love sitting and crocheting with you!! Jacqui from Central PA
I might have to steal those claw clips to make for my markets if you'd be ok with that! You seem so sweet and pretty open. I really enjoyed this video. It was my first time stumbling upon your channel and I'm totally subscribed now
Oh sure thing! That's why I share what I make with you guys! If you make some let me know how they do or tag me in a picture of them on Instagram because I'd love to see them 🥰
for the mystery box labels, maybe you can find some paper stickers (like label/name tag stickers) and stamp that? idk how difficult it is to make a flower/mini bouquet but that could be cute for the mystery boxes too ☺️
I was so excited about your extra dowel 😂 I love your style, I would purchase literally everything you showed lol I did mystery duck eggs for Easter but I love how the boxes can be used anytime and they were cute! I would totally reuse that box if I bought one.
Awh thank you so much! It was the most exciting part of my week for sure 😂 you're so sweet! And yes I thought the backpacks would be pretty universal! If you try something out like that definitely let me know, Id love to know how they go for you🥰
When I knit I use a boppy pillow to rest my arms on and it really help relieve the tension in my shoulders. The boppy is kinda small around, so I am hoping to buy a Valari soon. They are more expensive, but would fit better around.
Try cutting circles out of printable sticker paper with your cricut joy, and then stamp it! Potentially an easy way to make stickers with what you already have!! :))
Hair clips are adorable 🥰 so cute and flowers are really “ IN “ supposedly but they are adorable the bags are so cute too you did a great job I am a new subscriber💜💙
I would so love a tutorial on how you make your bags I know the Granny square Part isnt so bad but as far as lining the bag and all that I have no clue
Suggestion for your coated paper backpacks . I stamp my logo on a premade Avery blank circle sticker and add that to stuff that doesn’t take ink well. You could also try a solvent ink like stazon. Hope that helps. Also I’m totally a Jo-Ann coupon queen too! ❤🧁
OMG youre genius! How did I not think of this, what a great cheap way to have custom stickers!! Thank you so much thats an incredible idea I will be implementing! and yay! Youre my kind of girl, Go us coupon queens 🥰
Could you do a tutorial on sewing the material into the bags, especially the tags? Do you sew it material side up so your machine doesn't get stuck on the crochet?
Bonjour. Je viens de découvrir ta chaîne. Bravo pour celle-ci. 😊 J’aimerais savoir à quel endroit je pourrais me procurer les crochets avec lequel tu travailles dans cette vidéo? Merci beaucoup et bonne continuité. 😊
And as something who was constantly told to lower my voice I talk too much. Subtly edged out of groups and etc. Made to feel annoying also resonates as well
Dana,I don't know anything about the romanian cord. Does it have much stretch? I hate stretchy straps! Do you crochet with a gaming/crochet pillow? I was skeptical, but I can crochet for hours in end no neck, shoulder, elbow pain. I can't speak for back pain as I have had chronic pain for the past 20 years, so I can say it doesn't get worse, lol.
one of the best parts of the romanian cord is it has little to no stretch! ( depending on the yarn you use) I love it because I too hate a stretchy strap. And oh interesting, I might need one because I do get shoulder and back pain pretty often. Im so sorry about your chronic back pain but I do really appreciate you sharing that recommendation with me!
Everything looks so good!! 🫶🏼 What needle/settings do you use to sew the lining on your bags? I’ve tried using my machine to sew the lining on my fanny packs but something always goes wrong!
Oh no!! Im so sorry to hear that. I have to say Im unsure of the needle in my sewing machine, it's just the standard needle that came in my singer heavy duty 4452. I have it on level 4 tension and level 2 width. I hope that helps, Im sorry Im not extremely familiar with sewing!
how is the Joanne’s near you? they are like a ghost town around here ( metro Detroit area). No employees, no inventory and absolutely no customer service
My Joanns is pretty good! Unfortunately they are extremely short staffed at my location and so they do the best they can! Luckily our inventory stays quite stocked and thats all I really need. Im sorry you have that experience with the Joanns near you!
You should just attach a tag to the backpack so people can use it for other things after without it saying mystery box and then they get to take the tag off their new bag, like a backpack in the store
I do have some videos called "will it market" where I show you how to breakdown the price of something to make it and still make a profit! Let me know if you find either of those helpful!
I've made lots of purses. Here's a tip. Since you are lining the bags, all you need to do is have the tail ends in-between the lining & the crochet, as long as they are tied off enuf so not to unravel. Or crochet over the tails & then leave a bit of the tail inside.
Love this, thank you!
“New day, same outfit, it’s ok” I fallowed so fast after that ! I need that kind of energy in my life
Ahah! Im glad you get me!!
Same 😂
Cute backpack boxes. It'd put a key tag on the mini plushies & call them Back Pack Mystery Buddies. They would be a Back Pack Buddy in a back pack box.

I loved mindlessly crocheting a blanket to this ❤
I love that! Sounds so cozy!!
Just found your channel and I’m so happy to find another maker/ market girl who doesn’t do only plushies! I am located in Southern Illinois and sell granny square bags and cardigans along with other crochet things at local markets!

Love the tag inside the bag.

@@BlondieKnotsdo you have a pattern recommendation for the actual flowers? I think I could figure it out, but I’d rather just have someone tell me 😅
It looks like the pastel bag has mini carrots in the middle🥰😇 So cute!
Oh that would be cute! lol they are daisies but I love the mini carrots idea! lol Thank you so much 🥰
I mean in the actual crochet bag the orange and green yarn in the middle looks like mini carrots😍😀

Hi Dana I am new here. Like your video.
Welcome, Im so happu youre enjoying the video. I hope you'll subscribe and stick around!
Hey just found you love what you do x
Youre awesome! Thank you so much!! xx
What yarn do you use for the granny squares? They just look so…nice. Mine never look so good
In this video I am just using big twist value acrylic yarn. Have you ever tried blocking your squares after? That makes all the difference for me!
the hairclips ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!🥰
Bonjour. Je viens de découvrir ta chaîne. Bravo pour celle-ci. 😊 J’aimerais savoir à quel endroit je pourrais me procurer les crochets avec lequel tu travailles dans cette vidéo? Merci beaucoup et bonne continuité. 😊
And as something who was constantly told to lower my voice I talk too much. Subtly edged out of groups and etc. Made to feel annoying also resonates as well
Do you have a video of lining your bags? Do you sew by hand or with machine?
Yes I do have a video of how I make the purse and how I sew the liner into the bag! I personally using the sewing machine
I LOVE those hair clips. Where did you get the flower pattern from?
Thank you! There is no pattern for these, I just winged it!
What is the best yarn to make Granny squares?
for acrylic personally, Big Twist Value. For cotton I like both lily sugar and cream and also Lion brand 24 / 7 cotton yarn

And oh interesting, I might need one because I do get shoulder and back pain pretty often. Im so sorry about your chronic back pain but I do really appreciate you sharing that recommendation with me!
You can put scotch tape on the written part so it doesn´t fade
I was thinking about that too!
Everything looks so good!! 🫶🏼
What needle/settings do you use to sew the lining on your bags? I’ve tried using my machine to sew the lining on my fanny packs but something always goes wrong!

ohhh i didnt think about that! Thank you for that idea!
can you do a video on pricing? for me its just a hard thing to decide on
I do have some videos called "will it market" where I show you how to breakdown the price of something to make it and still make a profit! Let me know if you find either of those helpful!
Do you have a video on blocking?
I do not but my video tomorrow is an in depth tutorial on the bags and I will go over how I block them! 😊
What if you had stamped the backpack and put clear tape on top of it?
I did consider that option! I was already if I got finger prints on the tape they would show on the backpack😂
@@BlondieKnots lol true
May I know how many hours per day you spend on doing these projects?
very good
ممنون از آموزش عالی
Use stays on ink by ranger
I've never heard of that, thank you I'll look into it!
I’m having the dumbest issue: I simply cannot find claw clips in any type of bulk situation like the ones you used
Oh no!!! Did you try the link in the description??
@@BlondieKnots yes! I felt so silly when I found it on your tutorial lol! 🤦🏽♀️
❤❤
Are they cotton bags?
these particular ones I made are not, these are made of acrylic yarn
@@BlondieKnots Ok they're beautiful
