This idea is great: I think that I will make this, too, and see if anybody notices ;-)

TetraPak CD Case
Have you ever tried to mail a CD? It should be well packed and if you don’t have a plastic casing (or don’t like them) you can simply make a robust CD case from TetraPak.
I find this a great idea!

Online Pythagoras Calculator
I decided to crochet a Bolero from self-designed crochet motives and selected the Bolero 1 as pattern (see the links below on how to find the pattern).
With Bolero 1 the square crochet motives are worked standing on their tip and I knew the width of the back of my Bolero.
So then I ‘only’ had to find out how long the edges of my crochet motives have to be and it’s Pythagoras who’s responsible for ;-)
And then I thought that I’m surely not the only one with such questions. You can get the same problem e.g. if you want to knit Entrelac and want to find out the size of the individual squares. I suppose that there are more uses for this when crafting or needleworking.
For all those people I wrote my Online Pythagoras Calculator ;-)

Faux Quilt Votives
I find this idea really great, too: simply scan old quilts, print, sew a little and wrap around a votive ;-)
It’s a little bit as with the Fabric/Paper Place Mat.
And I think that it would look wonderful, too, with a paper Crazy Quilt!
By the way: the paper gets more transparent when you paint it slightly with oil.
It will smell a while, but then the smell disappears ;-)
On the page she also shows how to print the quilt picture onto inkjet T-shirt transfer and embellish leather with it – great!

Knitted World Gas Commercial
Did you already hear about the great video where they tried to visualize the warmth of gas with knitting?
Wonderful!
And I like the making of as well ;-)
While you’re at it, perhaps it’s time to see the knitted video again?! ;-)

My Own Spring Flower
I found it really fun painting flowers with the Flower Maker :))
With this one I’ve been particularly successful.

Make Your Own 3D Camera
Something different this time: make 3D photos without paying too much.
That’s fine, isn’t it? ;-)

Floral Letter Cliparts
Doesn’t this ‘A’ look great?
And where the ‘A’ comes from, you can find muuuch more :)
I don’t know yet what I will do with it apart from very personal Birthday cards, but I’m sure that I’ll come up with some idea ;-))

Paper Favour Bags
I found a tutorial for very nice favour bags which are seemingly very easily to make from common printer paper.
Perhaps I will use them for my next birthday (because I won’t marry in the near future ;-)).

Toga Pattern Generator
The day before yesterday I told you that I was looking for online pattern generators and then I found also the toga pattern generator.
What an idea! ;-))
In any case I thought that Carnival (Fasching) is really near now and possibly the newspaper dress doesn’t suit you, then such a toga could be an alternative?! ;-))
