I think that I will buy at least two bigger plastic bottles soon which I will cover with paper mache and from the caps I will make boxes.
Then I only have to think about what to do with the content ;-)))

I don’t have often bigger plastic bottles but the covering with paper mache must work with shampoo bottles, too?! ;-)

Flower pots seem to be very versatile: you can not only set plants in or make lamps from, but you can assemble them to a most beautiful, big flower pot garden urn and set plants in then ;-)

Well, did you always want to have a big and totally unique ring?
However, if your findings are bigger I suggest you look again at the piecemeal table ;-))

Every time I see these bracelets I’m thrilled
I didn’t like her ‘old ones’ very much, where she simply glued paper on the cardboard tubes because I find them too massive, but I find the ones with the opening really great!

Isn’t this a great idea to put a knitted lace into a frame to hold jewelry?
In the instruction you can also find a frame with a nice crochet lace.
By the way: actually you can use bought lace, too, can’t you? It must only be a little robust.
If you don’t like it, check again the other jewelry holders in the links below ;-)

If you haven’t decorated your walls already with the yarn wall art you may want to try the paper rolls wall art ;-)
And if it’s not quite your cup of tea, you can make from your toilet paper rolls e.g. simple napkin holders, a cord holder, recycled gift tags and/or a hairpin lace loom ;-))
