Recycled Roses

alisa burke Recycled Roses

I find these roses from fabric or paper most beautiful, even without wreath!
And it seems that they are easy to make, which does no harm! ;-))

They should look great for jewelry, too, for a ring or earring e.g.?!

If they’re not exactly your cup of tea simply look for flowers from fabric or flowers from paper ;-)

Sewn Potholders

Lola Nova Sewn Potholders

I find these sewn potholders soo beautiful!
I even tried it once but it didn’t work: I wanted to sew on spirals, but the stitching made the fabric pucker up completely although I made the stitch length as long as possible.
Probably the needle thread tension was too high or the like, I have to try it once more.
Somewhen ;-))

Fabric/Paper Place Mat

alisaburke Fabric Paper Place Mat

When I saw these place mats I was compleeetly thrilled: that’s exactly what I love so much!
She seems to use as well fabric as paper – many of these self coloured.
And I do love to work with paper, e.g. at my paper shopping bag or my paper Crazy Quilt ;-)

No-wax Batik

that artist woman No-wax Batik

What a wonderful idea: to batik reasonably priced with children without getting it dangerous for the little ones she simply uses washable (school) glue!
And what children can do, I can, too.
Very often ;-)))

By the way, she uses watered down acrylic colours to colour everything in.
Great!

Toga Pattern Generator

Rabbit Originals 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?! ;-))

Upcycled Sweater Boots

craftster Upcycled Sweater Boots

Still have some old sweaters? Make such a boot from them!

Another great idea, isn’t it? :)
As good as the Sweater Scarf and the yarn from sweaters ;-)

And if you don’t have a sweater to recycle, take t-shirts ;-))
