Don’t these wineglass tea light holders look nice?
Once I’ve seen an instruction for them (that’s only available now via web archive), which was meant for Christmas with little Christmas ornaments put in the glasses.

I can’t throw away anything and so I thought that it’d look nice to fill the glasses…

I can imagine as well to put flowers into the glasses, or carved vegetables or the apple swan or the little hors d’oeuvres penguin ;-)

Note: Be careful to fix the tea lights or even candles so that they can’t slip or topple over!

DIY Charge Station

In fact it is more a self-made holder to load small devices, but I find the idea great however.
My shampoo bottle is anyway nearly empty…
;-))

Note: It seems that this construction is not secure because it says in the entry that the original entry was removed due to security concerns.

Paper and Plastic Bottle Baskets

I have here already a lot of tutorials and inspirations for items from plastic bottles and from recycled paper, but I think that this is the first combining both ;-)
Anyway, I found an inspiration where they make baskets from recycled paper and plastic stripes.
They are made similarly to the basket coiling but with different materials.
I find some of these baskets most beautiful!

If that’s not your cup of tea check here whether you find other baskets that you like ;-)

Do the cords lie around everywhere? Simply cram them into a toilet paper cardboard roll on the wall ;-)))
I find this idea simply amazing!
And as creative as we are we surely can embellish the tube ;-))

By the way, I have more things that can be done with cardboard tubes ;-))

Needle Woven Purse

I busied myself with ‘needle weaving’ before, it was about a necklace and I’ve said that it would be suitable for little purses.
And – ta-da – I’m finding a tutorial on how to weave a purse with it.
Well, I’m ahead of the times ;-)))

I’m completely amazed by these ‘trophies’! ;-)
I’m sure that you can make the shape yourself, e.g. from recycled cardboard and tape or even plaster.

If you don’t like this so much, you still can make sweater boots, a scarf from your old sweater or you can unravel it for the yarn ;-)

Quick & Easy Bead Loom

Recently I wanted to bead loom two patterns of my random squares pattern generator and needed a bead loom for this.

 

unikatissima Quick Easy Bead Loom I’ve completely forgotten about the tutorial that I presented for my other bead bracelet (well, the entries pile up :)) and simply wound my thread around a cardboard fruit dish and just started.
The advantage is that I have plenty of thread to weave in after cutting the threads on the back of the dish.
And if you don’t have a cardboard fruit dish I’m sure that you can use a box of chocolates, too ;-)
I didn’t need to make little notches with my cardboard fruit dish because it was rough enough, but with a box of chocolates I think it would be better, just as described in the tutorial.

And that’s it.
I haven’t woven in all threads and have no closure yet – I can’t decide.
It’s done with the random squares pattern 1 further below.
