Do you still have a camera where you can screw off the lens?
Then you can see here how to make macro photos with it :))

Altered Mini Bottles
I presented the beaded bottle already for people who have mini bottles laying around at home and want to embellish them.
One can also glue everything on that one can put one’s paws on ;-)

Hot Chocolate On A Spoon – Mafia Style
I told about the chocolate painting before, this chocolate spoon for hot chocolate is from the same artist.
And I find it just as fantastic :)

Sturdy Mail Envelopes
I showed before how to make mail envelopes from gift wrapping or the like, but sometimes mail envelopes are too flimsy (sometimes much too flimsy ;-)) and one needs something sturdier.
Then you simply make mail envelopes from cardboard.
Cereal box seems to look nice ;-))
(By the way: we had a TetraPak CD case before).
However I doubt that you then can make a gift bagalope from your sturdy mail envelopes ;-)

Create a Travel Journal
When I traveled I mostly wrote a kind of diary and afterwards I often made a photo album. I’ve never had the idea of creating a real travel journal.
Next time I really want to give it a try – in the same way that is shown here.
And if it won’t happen for any reason: you can certainly create a travel journal of a fictitious travel, too (best wishes to all those who think that I’m talking about them ;-))).

Making Beads
I presented already how I’m making paper beads, somebody shows here most beautiful other (also paper) beads, the ones on the picture are made from woodchip wallpaper.
Aren’t they beautiful?

Recycled Magazine Coasters
Well, such a coaster from old magazines is surely heat-proof.
And certainly not difficult to make, you actually only need folded paper strips of equal width.
And if you don’t have enough paper simply make some jewelry ;-))
