Christmas Stocking Filler Ideas

I've been stocking up on bookmarks ready for some Christmas craft fairs and wanted to make some with a Christmas theme.

For the Crochet range I have added a holly leaf. Made from green wool oddments and a reclaimed red button. This is made using doubles, increasing and decreasing to achieved the required shape. Simple chain stitch for the stem.

For the pompom range, well it had to be a snowball! Simple white pompom with chain stitch.
