Somewhen I must make this rolled up glasses case – just to understand how it works ;-)))

Foam Chameleon Wall Hanging
When I saw the chameleon I was totally amazed – especially because it contains also a secret compartment!
Well, it doesn’t go with my room, but who knows…
;-))

Plaster and Crisp Bag Penholder
I presented the origamic architecture pencil holder before, here something for people who don’t like it so fiddly: a pen holder made from a plaster-filled crisp bag.
I like the idea :))

Tapestry Crochet Basket
Doesn’t the basket look great? Actually the entry is about blocking after finishing, but tapestry crochet isn’t so hard and so I definitely wanted to present the basket :))

Cork Vase
I always like the simple yet striking ideas and this cork vase is for me one of them: simply take a ready-made glass vase and decorate with self-adhesive cork :)

Fabric Bowl
Doesn’t this fabric bowl look beautiful?
And it seems to be quite easy to make (although I often underestimate such things ;-)).
Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it just as the other clothesline fabric bowl because my sewing machine still can’t make the zig zag stitch.

Bread Bread Basket
I find the idea of making a bread basket from bread dough great ;-)
Particularly because I wanted (somewhen!) work with play dough again.

Plastic Bottle Vase
I had some tutorials concerning ‘plastic bottles’ before, but I find this one still special: I would never have had the idea to work a plastic bottle this way!

Stiffen Crochet Items
Ususally I’m not interested in stiffening crochet items because I don’t make ornaments.
But when I saw the lamp I knew that I was lost ;-))
I haven’t made much research until now, but via the Google search and the Google image search I have found at least ‘About Stiffeners’ where there are a lot of recipes and instructions and even tips on how to reshape an item where necessary.
Let’s see what I will make…
;-)

Plastic Funnel
Sometimes you need a big funnel – why not cutting the top of a plastic bottle and use this?
I find this instruction great again: with little means reaching something practical and additionally recycling :)
By the way you can use those funnels, too, when pouring little beads from one container to the other, I don’t like to use my kitchen funnels for this.
Incidentally you can use up the rest of your bottle, too ;-)
