I always liked this paper weaving ;-)
By the way I have also seen it as decoration of a card, that’s nice, too.

Cut Cardboard Tealight
Doesn’t the tealight look most beautiful?
She‘s been cautious and inserted an electric tealight, if you’re very cautious, you can possibly even use a real one.
By the way, if you want to cut such a tealight yourself, my online cone calculator could possibly be helpful ;-))

Paper Earrings
Sigh, aren’t these earrings beautiful?
My various I-really-must-try-this- and I-really-must-have-this-lists are growing further.
;-)
Addendum of June 15, 2010: I got a nice e-mail where she told me that there’s a video with the folding instructions.
Many thanks!
