Pimping my Bike with Crochet

 

I got a plastic basket from the Dollar Tree and crochet a  cover for it to match my bicycle color scheme.

Thank I added a water bottle holder to hang on the handle bar

I love the progress so far.

Crochet Bicycle Skirt Guard

My 3rd attempt.  So working on another version.  Apparently 15 rows is enough height but I am over 3 or 4 rows too much.

I also would like to make saddle seat cover and another large basket to sit on my rear rack.  As I stated on my last post.  I wanted to use this bike as a way to advertise my crochet around town.  Here is a sample of what the actual plan looks like:

I’m gonna zip tie yard sign on each side of the rack.  This is a standard size yard sign (18x24)

I’m excited.  Will post more update soon.

Got a new beach cruiser

 We were visiting a pawn shop last month.  And bought this not so new beach cruiser bicycle.  

Stay tune to see how I’m planning on yarn bombing this bike.  Okay maybe not a yarn bomb more like a “pimp my ride with crochet”.

And I think it will be a great idea to attach my yarn sign to help me advertise my crochet around town.  

Bought this bike in November 29.  I’ll be posting more about this project very soon.  So stay tune.  

I got a new Shuttle Bus

 Well. It’s not new.  I won it on an auction.  And I think I got a pretty good price for it.  

Yes, I won it at a auction.  A 2014 Ford Econoline Cutaway.   It’s a 450 series.  I have many plans for it.  Maybe a bus conversion???? Or a crochet bus?  Deck out like it puked crochet???  Lol!!  But I am very excited and happy with my new Shuttle Bus.  

This is actually the 2nd bus I won in a government auction.  The first one was a not so short schoolie bus.  It was a 30 passenger bus with a chair lift.  Right now it serves as a storage.  But I have plans for both.

Quick update:  JANUARY 1, 2024

YES, Its New Year’s day.

I love the fact that I can fold the seat down and fold them away sideways towards the walls or windows.  Now I have an ope floor plan.  I had a chance to give a quick sweep and wipe down last week. 

Repurposing an Old Tshirt for adding Tags for My Crochet Goods

 

I am so excited about my new DIY tags.  You probably have seen those beanies with custom leather tags added to them.  I just thought those are so adorable and added the ultimate customization and branding to any crochet or handmade wear.  But I thought there must be a way for me to create my own tags without using any animal skin.  And Yes there is.  

These are made using a Tshirt that I messed up during production.  I do Tshirt for a full time job.  So I have plenty of Tshirts from production that misprints or have some errors.  And Instead of throwing them away… I kept most or some.  

  These is how they are made:  

I used a dark paper transfer.  I was able to make 46 tags per T-shirt.  But I’m pretty sure you can triple  or quadruple the amount you can print on a Tshirt.  Because all you have to do is fill the Tshirt with Transfer Paper.  

I used a 11x17 heat transfer paper and printed on a regular inkjet.

But you can simply used 8.5 x 11 on any inkjet printer.
