Three Matryoshka Friends
The idea of recycling came to me some time after I started crocheting cozies for these tiny little glass yoghurt jars. Little by little, I transformed these jars which I earlier bought from Carrefour into lovely Matryoshka dolls, and not only that, they can also be used to store small things like buttons and needles. Better yet, they can be filled with lavender (or your favourite scent!), kept in a room and they will diffuse the nice smell through the crocheted Matryoshka head.
In this project I am happy to be mixing crochet, felting, and sewing by hand.
