These crocheted little hearts (6 of them) come in a perfect little metal tin. I had crocheted these little guys and went looking for a box to put them in. I couldn't believe it when I found these little heart shaped tin boxes in the wedding favor section of my local craft store! I'll be making some more of these in different colors. You can use these for so many different things. Use them in scrapbooking, embellish your baby or kids clothes with them, turn them into earrings, glue them on a hair clip, use them for making a mini banner or garland, sew or glue some old (or new) buttons on top and turn them into a brooch ... I can keep on going listing more ideas on how to use them. So, no excuse not to buy them! Click on this link to get to them in my BitsOfFiber shop: http://www.etsy.com/listing/92197481/heart-shaped-tin-with-crocheted-mini Then when they are all used up you have the cutest little heart shaped box left which you can use to store, sewing pins, paperclips, buttons, etc. Makes for a perfect little Valentine's gift for that special someone! I bet your mom would love one of these ... hint, hint!
So I couldn't stop crocheting these cute little hearts the other day when I made the garland and decided to sell these without making them into a bunting/garland. I figured somebody might have fun with these using them for scrapbooking, decorating a pillow, a jacket or whatever else you can think of. I found this cute little heart box at the craft store and I couldn't believe what a perfect fit they are for all my little hearts! Anyway, there are 9 of them in the little box. I had 10 and since that one didn't fit into the box I used it to decorate the box on the outside with it. That way you can actually tell from the outside what's on the inside! I'm now working on some more little hearts since I found yet another little heart container, a metal one this time that will hold less then 9 but it has a see through top so I thought that would be just as perfect as the other one I already made up and is now for sale in my BitsOfFiber shop. Here are a couple pictures but if you like to see more then click on this link http://www.etsy.com/listing/91920609/crochet-heart-appliques-for-decorations?ref=pr_shop which will take you to the item in my shop. Come back in the next couple of days to check out the other ones I'm working on. They are a very pretty salmon color.
