Teal Friday

Pink Fridays begin next week, and this is the final Teal Friday of the year. For this project, I used colors representing cancer awareness (yellow), ovarian cancer awareness (teal) and breast cancer awareness (pink).



You may do whatever you'd like with lip gloss cozies and key chains you make from this pattern, but you may not sell or republish the pattern. Thanks, and enjoy!




Finished Size: 3 inches long, 1 inch wide
Materials: Size 10 crochet thread in four colors (I used charcoal, yellow, teal and pink), size 8 crochet hook, water soluble school glue or desired stiffener, paintbrush, lip gloss, 1 lanyard hook

Lights

Make 3, one in each of three remaining colors, A, B and C.

Finish: Stiffen all pieces if desired. (I stiffened the lights and cozy lid only, and I used full strength water soluble school glue.) Finger shape lights to form hoods. If stiffening parts, allow to dry thoroughly. Apply glue to backs of lights and position on cozy. Allow to dry thoroughly. Attach lanyard hook to cozy just below lid joint. Insert lip gloss, and proudly show your Stop Cancer spirit!
