My great aunt gave me instructions for making one similar to this one using thread. She made a lot of them in her lifetime and gave them away to just about everyone. She was still making them when she passed at the age of 93.
This one is really pretty…. and great for using up tiny scraps! I can see that I will be making more of these with little leftover bits.
