|  | From Sarah White, your About Needlecrafts Editor Now that it’s officially summer in the Northern Hemisphere it’s time to break out the bright colors, lacy fabrics and ocean motifs for your crafting projects. Here are a few ideas to get you started. Happy crafting! | | Summer Fun Citrus Starfish Bracelet This cute beadwork bracelet uses sea glass starfish and beads as well as crystals and is worked on a beading loom. It’s a great way to bring the feeling of the beach wherever you happen to be. | Crocheted Lace Scarves Sometimes you still want a little something to throw around your neck even when it’s warm outside. These lacy crocheted scarves are a great choice for cool evenings and over-air-conditioned buildings. | Stamped Metal and Silk Sari Tassel This beautiful tassel is a great mixed-media project combining fiber, beads and stamped metal. Add it to a bag, use it in your home decor or make one to decorate a gift bag. So many possibilities! | Eyelet Cowl Knitting Pattern This eyelet-covered, cotton-blend cowl is another great project for adding a bit of warmth when you feel cold in the summer. It’s a really easy project, too, even if you’ve never worked in the round or done any lace knitting before. | | | | Related Searches | | | | Featured Articles | | | | | Sign up for more free newsletters on your favorite topics | | | | You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the About.com Healthy Eating newsletter.
