Wool ideas you may not have thought of

If you have a spare ball of wool or leftovers from another project, you might picture a relaxing evening spent knitting or crocheting. This may be the traditional option, but you can do a lot more with wool. Let’s take a look at some fun wool ideas you may not have thought of.
Woolly wall art

Give your home walls a new lease of life with wool wall art. You could wind different shades of yarn around picture frames or create patterns out of wool and stick them on your wall. Experiment with colours and textures to keep your design interesting.

Coasters

If you have noticed watermarks on your wooden furniture, you will need to get your hands on some coasters. Watermarks form when hot or cold tableware directly touches the wood. Coasters create a barrier between the dishes and your surfaces, protecting them from marks.

You can use any leftover wool from crochet blanket kits to assemble your coasters. Classic circular coasters are nice, with hexagonal, octagonal and pentagonal shapes also working well.

Woolly pots and planters

If you have leftover wool from old crochet blanket kits, you can use the strands to jazz up your pots.
Simply hot glue the wool as you wrap the string around your planters. This gives your pots a new look and is great for hiding scratches from wear and tear. Allow the glue to dry before you use your pot.

3D art

You could also use the wool from crochet blanket kits to form 3D art. You could create small landscapes, animals or figurines with your needle and yarn.

These are just some of the things you can craft with wool. Have fun experimenting and you may be surprised at what you come up with.
