10 Tiny Fingers helping planet Earth by reducing, reusing, and recycling! I am going to walk you through this tutorial on how to make the hand appliques. The recycle logo is definitely optional but I will include that pattern below as well.
I am making an Earth Day Crochet Counting Quiet Book! It will have a total of 10 pages and I will be posting each page separately in a series of 10 blog posts and then one final post to showcase the whole book and how to put it together. They will all be posted in time for Earth Day on April 22nd!
You can also use these “pages” as granny squares and create a blanket instead! Finished size of the pages/squares are approx 9×9.
Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn in Oatmeal (choose any color for the skin! Skin tones come in all beautiful shades and colors!), Cool Blue, and Lush Green. Shop all colors HERE on Yarnspirations.com.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle

Well, this is great to see that you are making hand made crochets. I am really happy to see that you have made this crochets from wastes and recycled them to make them. Visit https://assignment-helpers.co.uk/assignment-structure/ to know more about assignment help. This could really be helpful to the people because we waste a lot of things including clothes and plastic. These things can be recycled and can save a lot of cost and many resources from which we get these things.

Gar Alperovitz’s book, “What Then Must We Do?” Check in this site , addresses the reader directly, discussing our current historical context and the opportune moment for a new-economy movement to emerge. He explores the significance of constructing a new system to replace the failing one and proposes starting an evolutionary process rather than a revolution. This alternative system would ensure wealth ownership is democratized, empower communities in various aspects, and establish effective policies and institutions capable of managing a robust, expansive economy.
