Do you have left over two old chairs and a couple of planks?
Then build such a bench for you, too ;-)

Recycling Bird Feeder
I’m a city kid and don’t have the slightest idea on when to present such an entry, but the original entry has been published around the same time of year ;-))

Google translation of the article
Note: In the orange text Google translates the text as follows: ”…, and ruckzuck was the bird food in the house.”, but the bird food fall underneath the (bird) house ;-)
Pot Holder Eyeglass Case
I like this idea, too: fold a potholder, sew together and embellish and you’ll have a padded eyeglass case.
However, if I think about a previous ‘very simple’ sewing project I’m sceptical whether I will be able to make it so easily ;-))

Toilet Paper Tube as Window Stopper

That’s no big deal, but helpful ;-):
To prevent our windows from slamming shut, we latterly fold two toilet paper tubes and squeeze them under the frame.
They have the advantage of not being too rigid and so not break the frame, but they are (although not beautiful) functional ;-))
Tea Lights
Recently you have collected tea cups for a bracelet, now you can make a lamp from your cups ;-)
