Do you still have some beautiful pantyhoses?
Don’t throw them away, better decorate some perfume bottles with them ;-))

Do you need a quick gift? Then simply knit such a cute mini key ring purse from some yarn rests from your stash.
I can also imagine it as a nice pin or necklace.

Very multifunctional, such a drinking straw ;-)

Well, these raffia pillows would be great for garden and/or balcony, wouldn’t they?
It shouldn’t take long to knit them and I think that you can stuff them (because they are meant for the garden) with old plastic bags.
