Do you have a craft fair coming up and need so super quick and easy things to sell for cheap?? I GOT YOU! These are gorgeous, super quick, and so useful.
You will need t-shirt style yarn or the easy peasy yarn that's available on Amazon. I use this kind, because you can get a variety of colors. You will also need a bead to pull the yarn strands through.
There are 5 different styles that I use. Some are quicker to make than others, but all take less than 20 minutes! I sell them for $4 each or 3 for $10.
Without further adieu, here they are!
Hook: 3.5 mm
Yarn: t-shirt or easy peasy- I use two strands held together as one.
Bead
Heart

Rnd 1:ch3, 2tr, 3dc, ch1, tr, ch1, 3dc, 2tr, ch3, slst inside the magic ring. (11)
Cut a tail 15 inches long.
Weave the shorter strands through the yarn until they come out at the bottom of the heart. Weave in the other small ends. Add the bead and tie knots at the end of the strands. Make sure the strands of yarn in the bead are big enough that the bead can be pulled tight and stay.

Weave the pink tail to the opposite end of the watermelon like you see in the picture. Weave in the other small ends. Add the bead and tie knots at the end of the strands.

Fasten off yellow and switch to flower color yarn.

Butterfly
Start with first color, DON'T use 2 strands held together, only use 1 strand of yarn for this one.
Leave a tail that is 12 inches long, working in the magic ring.
Rnd1: ch2, dc16 in magic ring, slst to join (16)

Fasten off leaving a 16 inch tail.
You should have something that looks like this. Fold it in half and wrap two strands from the second color around the middle to create the butterfly. Pull the two strands up through the middle. Add the bead and tie knots at the end of the strands. Make sure the strands of yarn in the bead are big enough that the bead can be pulled tight and stay. Use a marker to make the seeds.

Fasten off leaving a tail 15 inches long.
Weave the red strands to the bottom of the strawberry, and weave the green strand to the top of the stem, like you see in the picture. Add the bead and tie knots at the end of the strands.
