…compilation of tutorials
After you have transformed all your spoons to spoon pendants you want perhaps to work on your forks now?
Because what she’s doing here with the plastic forks must surely work with ‘real’ forks, too?! (Although not with a heat gun, I suppose ;-))

Isn’t this birch scarf cute?
Because she wants to sell those items there’s of course no instruction and I wouldn’t be able to finish it anyhow, but I like to look at it ;-)

Have you already used up all forks as photoholders and remain only spoons?
Then make little pieces of jewelry from them ;-))

Card Holder from Fork
Actually it can’t be too hard to make those card or photo holders from fork yourself!?

Wow, I find the felt leaves scarf really great, too!
She made it with Nuno-felting of silk, sewing on of the leaf stitchings and cutting out of the middle pieces, but she writes that it should work with prefabricated felt, too.
When Nuno-felting, you felt the wool in thin layers into a prefabricated fabric, I did it before but not with silk but with a simple chiffon kerchief and it worked great.
There are soo beautiful stamps, why not make a little piece of jewelry from them?
One way is the already presented lamination, another the beading of stamps.
And with a little more thought I will get other ideas as well ;-))

Hm, at the end of the year they say that one must tidy up a little to have a good start into the next year.
What about making a scrap quilt to work up all those little left-over pieces of fabric from the different projects?
Or can’t you finish a quilt that fast?
;-)))

When I saw the tutorial on how to make polymer clay Zentangles I thought: ‘Wow! What a great idea!’
Up until now I only sketched my Zentangles and made a lot of things with Fimo and I even thought about making the polymer clay letter cane ;-)
I still have some black and white polymer clay canes, perhaps I can make something with them.

On the photo is one of the first Beaded Art Dolls I’ve ever seen and it impressed me deeply.
I always wanted to make one but haven’t had the time yet.
Up until now I only made my freeform bead embroidery ;-)
But I looked for ‘Bead Art Doll’ already ;-)
In doing so I found a mermaid and a butterfly craftalong (in a craftalong several people work on the same project and compare notes). Furthermore I found a most beautiful bird, a blog entry on the subject of ‘Beaded Art Dolls’ and several wonderful finished Beaded Art Dolls, where I like most the Wise One and the little Alien Doll.
If you want to make one, too, you can get patterns for the dolls here.

Today is Christmas Eve where there’s not a lot of time for crafting, therefore I wanted to present something that I found most hilarious: the literal music video versions.
There they change the lyrics to describe what’s happening in the video.
I had a lot of fun with :)) although I’ve never been interested in music videos.
My personal highlight is Meat Loaf: Literal Video Version (Anything For Love) – so wonderfully crazy ;-)))
(To avoid misunderstandings: I really like Meat Loaf and Anything For Love!
And this video, too ;-)))
By the way I found the video via an article in Spiegel where they present more of these videos.
