These atmospheric paper Christmas trees are produced by cutting and folding paper, and adding sequins. Why not place an LED light underneath for maximum Christmas effect on the dinner table, mantelpiece or windowsill.

There’s something magical about winter crochet projects, right? If you’re like me and absolutely adore a seasonal piece that you can use all year round, let me tell you about the Snowflake Granny Square Bag from WeCrochet.
Right out of the gate, this bag caught my eye. The Snowflake Granny Square Bag combines the timeless look of granny squares with a unique snowflake motif, making it not just functional but also a statement piece! It’s like carrying a bit of winter wonderland with you, but it’s versatile enough to work all year. The granny square design is classic, but the snowflake detail really elevates it, giving it a crisp and refreshing look.
The pattern itself is beginner-friendly, which I appreciate because not every bag project is. The instructions are well-written, clear, and easy to follow. You’ll work up a bunch of small squares that are then sewn together, making it a perfect project to break up over a few sessions. The bag also has this great textured look, thanks to the raised snowflake design that makes it pop against the background colors.
The suggested WeCrochet yarn options are delightful, too! The yarn gives a beautiful stitch definition, so that snowflake really stands out. Plus, they’ve suggested a few color combinations on the site, but I ended up picking out my own colors to match my winter coat—there’s plenty of room for personalization.
