Crochet Door Hanger

Hurricane Sandy is really hitting us hard right now.  While staying safe and sound inside from the storm, I decided to try one of the crafts I have pinned. 

Here is my finished project.  I followed the tutorial from this blog.  

 I have been wanting to try this for sometime, but I didn't have a plastic bracelet.  While cleaning out the kids toy closet today, I found this heart shaped bracelet.  Perfect.
I had to adjust the tutorial to fit the bracelet.  I crocheted a single crochet all around the perimeter.  
I slip-stiched to the first stitch when I made it all around.
I then crocheted a double crochet into each stitch all the away around.
I then skipped two stitches and then crocheted seven double crochet into that stitch, then skipped two stitches and slip stitched into that stitch.  I continued this all the way around and then slip-stitched when I got to the beginning.
I then went to my Silhouette machine and created this (my daughter's initial) to insert in the frame.
I then crocheted a chain to create a loop to hang on my daughter's door.
I can't wait to hear what you think.

Don't forget to stop back tonight for my Fall into Fall party.

The link opens at 8pm EST.  
Hope to see you then.
