2Roll a small piece of mold-and-bake clay to a thickness of about 1/8 inch, using a rolling

pin or other rolling tool.The clay should be smooth and the thickness should be uniform to

make keychains. If desired, press more than one color together to create a swirled effect.

3Use a cookie cutter to cut the clay into the desired shape.Choose the shape of your choice,

such as a flower for Mother's Day, a clover for St. Patrick's Day, a heart for Valentines day.

Sports fans will enjoy a keychain shaped like a basketball, baseball or football. You can also

create your own shape for your key chain with a sharp paring knife.

color.

made a hole in the first letter.Repeat with the two remaining pieces of craft foam so you have

four identical letters.

11Peel the backing from each initial.Stick all four letter together, working carefully to be sure

the letters are lined up. Trim any uneven edges with a craft knife.

Hi everyone!

I made this cell phone cozy for a friend awhile back and was asked for the pattern. OK, I can't let you wait any

longer so am glad to share you here:

PATTERN

Yarn:cotton or any yarn.

Hook:any size to match your yarn. I used 3.5mm hook and cotton yarn for mine to fit a cell phone with 4.5" H

x 2.31" W x 0.37" D.

This pattern has a multiple of 2, so you can easily adjust the bottom narrower or wider in an even number of

stitches.

Puff stitch:Please referthis sitefor the method of finishing a puff stitch - using method A for this pattern.

Bottom:

Make 14 foundation single crochet (or chain 14 if you prefer to use a chain instead).

Ch 1, sc in the same stitch, sc in each of the next 12 sts, 4 sc in the next st, sc in each of the next 12 sts, 3 sc in the

last stitch, join with sl st to the first ch. (32 sc in total)

Body:

Round 1: ch 2, *make a puff stitch in the same st, dc in the next stitch. Repeat from * for the remaining

stitches, slip stitch to the first puff stitch to join. (16 combos of puff stitch and dc in total).

Round 2: ch 1, sc in the same st, sc in the next st, *front post sc around the next puff stitch, sc in the

next dc. Repeat from * to the last st. Sl st to the first sc to join.

Repeat round 1 and 2 until you get the desired length of your cell phone.Make one or two rounds of sc on top, attach a button if you like and your cozy is ready!
