Happy Tuesday my fellow crafters!
I'm back with a new and super easy project - a mini crocheted GIFT BOX!
You can either use it to store a little gift, or hang it to the Christmas Tree as an ornament!
Are you ready for this quick and fun crochet work? If the answer is yes, let's grab our hook and yarn and make this cutie together!
