After making the gilder dragons, I have a lot of pony beads. Those are not something I generally have a lot of use for, so I cruised Pinterest for some inspiration and landed on some cute crocheted animals that have beads integrated into the designs. I got some patterns from Willow & Wild on Etsy and I was off!
They were fun and I’ll probably make more since I still have soooooo many beads. These are the multicolored glow in the dark beads but I also have a ton of purple. More critters to come, though now I need to figure out what to do with them all.
They’re very cute! If you’re really looking for what to do with them as you make them, maybe a local school or nursing home/rehab could use them for fidget items? There’s also the STS swap here in the fall.
