- Bone ring bracelets give crafters the opportunity to give a colorful and modern twist to the standard bracelet concept. Choose bone rings of different shapes to create a pattern or a single shape for a less bold statement. Using slipstitches to crochet your way along the ring bone leaves a smooth pattern of yarn along the top, bottom and inter portions of the ring with a single line of stitch knots along the exterior of the rings, which acts as the attachment area for other crocheted bone rings in the bracelet series. The open rings allow you to create a hook and eye or toggle closure.
- Crocheted potholders are decorative kitchen displays in additional to functional everyday kitchenware. For a crocheted potholder to hang nicely, it requires a sturdy loop. Slipstitch and crochet around a bone ring and attach the finished wrapped bone ring to any exterior edge of the potholder.
- A thread-wrapped button known as a Dorset button, which gained its name because of its origin, began as a yarn-wrapped bone disk in the early 1700s. Modern craftsmen have developed a new method for creating Dorset buttons using bone rings for the base structure. Choose any color yarn or thread and start with the traditional crosswheel design. Use the bone ring Dorset buttons to replace shirt buttons, adorn winter hats or decorate any crocheted craft project.
- The durability and water-resistant characteristics of bone rings make them more than suitable for the foundation of a coaster. Select small-diameter bone rings and create a flower shape large enough to accommodate a drinking glass or can. Crocheting separate bone rings and linking them in a floral shape is a way to create a colorful flower coaster; attaching the bare bone rings first and covering them in a single layer of fabric creates a more uniform look.
