…compilation of tutorials
I presented some boxes already, the one of today is folded from old greeting cards.
On the photo you can see it folded from a calendar or magazin sheet as a gift wrapping for my hyperbolic pin.
I find both (gift and box) still great! :)

Hyperbolic Pin (TED Talk: Nature, Crochet and Geometry)
What a cute idea: Before going for a walk you take a piece of tape around your wrist (sticky side at the outside! ;-)) and while walking you stick on a lot of beautiful leaves and flowers.
When you’re coming home you have a wonderful nature bracelet.
She seems to have done this in springtime but the fall leaves also look great.
And by the way you can cut open the tape at home and use it for a card ;-))

I must confess that I don’t like those victorian ornaments, but you can use the principle on other styles, too – e.g. with Halloween, Art Deco or doodle patterns or with your own photos.
Let’s see what I will make from it ;-)
If you have necklaces you can always do with something to hang them up, as e.g. the mini dress-form jewelry stand.
That’s something you can use the wonderful bust for.
But it is also something very special if you want to sell jewelry.
Incidentally I think that you can craft it a little smaller if you need a gift wrap or sales wrapping for your necklace.
If the bust is made as greeting card the necklace can directly be send with it!?
If you make such a bust I’d really appreciate a comment with a link (as I’m glad about every comment ;-))

I have a most ordinary and totally boring beige-gray computer screen – perhaps I should do something about?! ;-))
I don’t like the ‘stone look’ though, I’d prefer something baroque-y ;-))

I’m reading a lot and therefore I always need bookmarks.
I love most those where an elastic that holds the pages together and now I’ve found an easy and simply great tutorial for it.
Perhaps I should read just a little bit less and instead make such a bookmark ;-))
Now that the leaves get coloured comes perhaps the right time to make cute cards with them.
Isn’t it?

Well, isn’t it a great idea making salt and pepper shakers from film containers?
It would be quite the right thing if you want to have salt and pepper at a picnic, isn’t it?
Although it gets now much to cold here for such events ;-))

Sometimes it would be great, if you could enter your own hand writing by keyboard, e.g. when creating greeting cards.
You have the chance now: you print a form, enter the appropriate letters, scan the sheet and upload it at fontcapture.
Then you should get back your handwriting as font.
I didn’t let make it yet because my handwriting is so botched at the moment that I don’t want to get it ;-))
As a matter of principle you should be able to ‘put a lot on the keyboard’, even little sketches.
I really have to try it on occasion!
The gift tags on the photo aren’t ready yet: I simply can’t decide with which yarn I should wrap them.
But I find the idea really great: flatten the cardboard tube, cut it in strips and wrap the pieces with yarn.
I think that it could look beautiful, too, when wrapped in a piece of beautiful polymer clay and worn as necklace, earring or pin.
Hm.
When reading the instructions for the gift tags I had to think somehow at the surprise ball gifts ;-)
But she had other ideas, too, about what to make with these paper shapes, namely a cute tealight and an interesting lamp decoration.
I presented before entries about recycled cardboard tubes here in this blog, namely the beaded amulet bag, the plaster photo holder and the knitting loom from a plastic bottle.
But there the cardboard tube was ‘only’ a tool.
