How adorable is this free chevron crochet bible cover pattern? I designed the chevron stitching to fit the needs of this project, and I also designed a crochet stitch to create a straight edge for the chevron design. This is perfect for Mother's Day, Easter, Christmas, Teacher gifts, Valentine's Day, Birthdays, or just because! :) Enjoy and share this link or pin this post if you like it! You could always make it in some manly colors for Father's Day also!

How to read this pattern: This pattern is worked in rows, turning your work after each row.

Note: You need to work your color chunks in sets of 2 rows (or even #) in order to avoid unattractive stitching showing on the right side. 

*I highly suggest watching my YouTube videos on the chevron stitch & making the straight edge before completing this project* www.youtube.com/user/katiescrochetgoodies

Instructions:

With Teal

RD 1: Ch 76, dc in 2^nd ch from hook, 1 dc in next st

*dc3tog, dc in next 2 sts, 3dc in next, dc in next 2 sts* Repeat to end.

NOTE: After your last dc decrease (dc3og) you will just do one dc in each stitch until you reach the end- Meaning you will need to skip and substitute your last increase stitch (3dc) with just one dc so that the end stays straight.

Rd 2: Ch 3, turn, dc in the same st, dc in the next 6 sts

*dc3tog in the next, dc in next 2 sts, 3dc n next st, dc in next 2* Repeat to end. You should have one st left at end, dc in that st.

Add Straight edging to the chevron stitch {View Post Here}

Once you have finished this you will lay the piece flat and make sure the right side is showing and wrap around where you want the cover to go. Make sure the inside flaps are even for the front and back covers.

Then you will stitch together using a slip stitch as shown in the picture below. Do this on all 4 ends.

DIY Picture or Card Display

I saw something like this on Pinterest, and had to create my own for our holiday greeting cards. I love how this looks in my dining room and it was SO easy and fast. Below are the directions :)

I absolutely LOVE this setup and I saw a few different styles online and decided to have a go at it! :) 

Materials:

Hot Glue Gun

Glue Sticks

Hemp

Picture frame - without glass 

Clothes pins or paper clips to attach pictures to hemp 

Take the hemp and hot glue it onto the back of the frame. This is a great way to display pictures, cards, or cute notes. Woohoo, I LOVE this! 

Questions, comments? I'd love to hear them in the comments! :) Have a wonderful holiday season & happy new year everyone. I can't believe it's almost 2014!!

I am so in love with this snowman door decoration idea! I saw this a week or so ago at the school district office here in town while I was finishing up my substitute orientation with my friend Carly. She mentioned she wanted to do this on her kitchen pantry door, and I stole the idea too :) Are you a fan or what!? 

All you need:

*1-2 pieces black construction paper

*1 piece orange construction paper

*Ribbon for the scarf

*Loctite Fun-Tak

Eyeball & Button circles - I used some drinking glasses as templates

Mouth circles - I used shot glasses for the template

Then I just cut out a nose

Reindeer Cookies!

Tweet

These adorable cookies are super easy to make and great for any holiday get together or party!! I made them for the little 1st graders while I was student teaching. I had such a great time making these. They are super easy and they look so cute!

All I did was:

1. Make sugar cookies/Shaped like triangles

2. Press the chocolate covered pretzels onto the cookie while still warm (don't push too hard or it breaks!)

3. Push M&M's onto the cookie for eyes

4. Put some chocolate frosting on the cookie to use to hold the red peanut butter M&M nose on :) 

Have a great day and let me know if you have any questions about these cute little reindeer friends! Did you make some? How did they turn out?

 Here is an adorable and delicious treat for the holidays. I made these Santa hat pretzels a couple years back with a good friend of mine. These were very simple to do and they are SO cute! I hope you try these out and if you do please send me a picture of your result! :) 

Make sure you use wax paper to dry them on so that they don't stick! 

1. Melt white chocolate

2. dip pretzels in chocolate

3. Dip into the red sprinkles

4. Add a little white chocolate to an end and place a mini marshmallow on top. 

5. ENJOY! :)

Reindeer Beer Christmas Gift

This is an adorable Christmas gift idea for anyone. I made a 6 pack of beer one for a gift a few years back, and also made them with the Coca-Cola that comes in the glass bottles for a bunch of underage friends and family! 

They turned out great and I love this idea. It is inexpensive and adorable! What do you think? Have you gifted this before?

Homemade Signs!

Tweet

These are so cute and are such a great gift idea for anyone! I love that you can order and customize these. I have multiple homemade signs that I have from a couple different people who make them. I will share their links with you just in case you are interested in purchasing from them. Otherwise, enjoy the inspiration and give it a go yourself! :)

This one is made from wood pallets, and was made by A Vintage Home. I love this one so much because it adds a pop of color to my living room which was all brown and boring before. This is a huge piece but she can make in any size!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These ones were made by Bedtime Crafts: Crafting while the littles are sleeping. Make sure you check out her Etsy Page Here. Become a Facebook fan here.

 This one I got for our 2nd wedding anniversary and hung up above our bed. I love the way this looks! The font, the colors, and everything! LOVE IT!  

 This one I got for my front door to keep all of the solicitors from disturbing us multiple times a week. It has made a big difference as you can see. When I went outside to get a picture of the sign I saw some business cards the shoved in my security door. The humor of it is awesome also. The sign reads:

NO Soliciting 

We are too broke to buy anything, 

we know who we are voting for,

we have found Jesus. 

Seriously,

unless you are selling thin mints

DO NOT DISTURB!
