handkerchief bunnies, angels, and purselets

You can find my tutorial for How to Make Handkerchief Bunnies at Suite101. BTW for those who like more detail it is an easy thing to use some washable glue or removable tape to add a cottonball for a tail and maybe some buttons for eyes.






These little purselets or pockets are perfect for little gift bags or for your little girl to carry her offering to Sunday School. You can find the tutorial How to Make Handkerchief Pockets at Suite101.



I think angels are as suitable for Easter as they are for Christmas. These angels can be a bit hard to figure out. I wrote a tutorial for Hanky Angels at Suite101 but it still may take a bit to get it.

The handkerchief below is sheer and made of some synthetic material. Very lovely but as I discovered super hard to work with.



The wonderful thing about all three of these projects is your handkerchiefs remain intact. No cutting or damage unless you aren't careful. The wire for the beaded angel wings and of course a thread and needle could damage more delicate or fragile handkerchiefs. BUT theoretically, you could dismantle these and find the handkerchiefs intact.


Please check out some of the blog parties where I will be sharing these handkerchief projects.

The first little bag - the experimental one...


Christmas 2008: Scroll down to the last angel - the handkerchief is stunning.
I made these before Christmas for my Aunt P (UP's wife) as a commission



this hanky still had the sticker on it and it said the lace was from spain -I think it is lovely...
