Children with more advanced knitting skills can delight their mother with their own hand-made potholders, kettle warmers and hot coasters.

Surely all housewives are aware that knitted napkins and tablecloths are back in fashion today. A bath mat twisted from thick threads, as well as decorative vases made of twine, look quite unusual and very impressive.

A simple option for creating plywood crafts is flat images. It can be animals, flowers, hearts. However, if there is a need to make a voluminous craft, you will need to prepare several separate parts from plywood, which are subsequently connected to each other. It should be noted right away that voluminous crafts consist of 3 or more elements, which must be identical in size to each other. For each detail, you will have to prepare an individual sketch and it is from it that the image will be cut out.

The last stage of work involves decorating products. In this case, children can show imagination, for example, if it is a bouquet of flowers, the buds can be decorated with beads. And the vase - a knitted cover with a ribbon. If this is an image of an animal, an addition in the form of a scarf and a hat or a festive costume, sewn or knitted according to the size of the craft, will be quite appropriate.
