I'm very exited to shate with you my Christmas gift idea 2020! Fast&easy projects and great to work on between big projects 😀
The year 2020 was a difficult and unique year for each one of us. 
I suggest knitting/crocheting for you and your friends and colleagues personal mementos to remember this year by. These Christmas decorations, each one of them, are the symbols of this year's events.

Let's have IG challenge! Post your baubles on Instagram using hashtag #memorybaubles2020  and tell Your story. It will help us all become kinder, more tolerant and not to make the mistakes we made in the year 2020

I have chosen the events of the year 2020 that unite many of us

➡Сoronavirus – is the reason for many this year's events. 
➡A toilet paper – is possibly one of the funniest memes of this year
➡A koala – as many of us tried to help saving the koala bears from the forest fires in Australia 
➡LockDown and StayHome – who could have thought that these could become a reality?
➡Baby Yoda – he stole our hearts with his cuteness 
➡Gingerbread man in a mask – this year we are all a little bit gingerbread people in the masks
➡Disneyland 65 – it's Disneyland's anniversary 
➡Pets – strangely enough but lockdown and stayhome helped many animals find their homes and our love 

Would you like to crochet them with me?
Today I share with you how to make Koala and Baby Yoda Baubles 😉 Let's get into it!
