After reading what one person said he/she wanted as a gift for a 4-year-old girl, I decided to make what I thought would be a good gift for that girl. I crocheted a little red bag with a shell design, which had holes in between the shells so you could see what was in the bag, just in case the child was carrying something she shouldn't be (I know how kids can have sticky fingers sometimes). I macramed 2 stars in bright girlie colors, since the child liked those types of colors. I stitched the stars onto the bag. I left tassels on the ends of the stars for her to play with, so they look like shooting stars. It can be used as a wristlet in case she is prone to losing things that aren't tied to her. It's meant as a keepsake, and can be used to hold her iPhone when she is older, although by then, we could have iPhones implanted directly into our brains.
I enjoyed making the bag and thinking of what the child might like. My only regret is that I didn't have many colors of crochet thread to work with, so my choices were limited.
Materials used: crochet thread, knotting cord, glue
Time taken to make: 6 hours
