6 Creative Ways to Decorate Using Heirloom Plates

March 24, 2014 by Larissa Coleman

PicMonkey Collage1

Most of us have had the opportunity of inheriting some type of an heirloom from a past family member.  While we hold these pieces very special to us, it’s hard to let them just sit in an old cedar chest, only to be brought out on occasion.  However, we also don’t want them too terribly accessible to the tiny little hands of little ones.  Below are 6 links to help inspire you with some creative and beautiful ways to display some of those heirloom plates you have, all while keeping them safe to treasure.

Free Cowl Crochet Pattern – Stiles Cowl

I recently discovered the Stiles Cowl pattern on Crochet.com, and I must say, it’s quickly become one of my favorites! The design is both stylish and practical, perfect for adding a cozy layer during those chilly days.

What I love about this pattern is its versatility; it can be dressed up or down, making it suitable for various occasions. I appreciate that the instructions are clear and easy to follow, which is essential for a smooth crafting experience. I haven’t made it yet, but I can already envision how delightful it will be to wear. The texture looks rich and inviting, and I’m excited to see how the yarn choice will impact the final look.

If you’re looking for a project that combines ease with elegance, I highly recommend checking out the Stiles Cowl pattern. It’s definitely on my list for this season! You can find it here.
