I think that I must fish out my sewing machine after all – and sew some slippers from old, kitschy dishcloths ;-)

Do you still have some beautiful pantyhoses?

Mini Key Ring Purses
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.

Keepsake Boxes from Bottle Caps
I think that I will buy at least two bigger plastic bottles soon which I will cover with paper mache and from the caps I will make boxes.
Then I only have to think about what to do with the content ;-)))

I don’t have often bigger plastic bottles but the covering with paper mache must work with shampoo bottles, too?! ;-)

Flower Pot Garden Urn
Flower pots seem to be very versatile: you can not only set plants in or make lamps from, but you can assemble them to a most beautiful, big flower pot garden urn and set plants in then ;-)

Ring from Findings
Well, did you always want to have a big and totally unique ring?
However, if your findings are bigger I suggest you look again at the piecemeal table ;-))

Drinking Straws Flowers
Well, the flowers look real, too, don’t they?
They are from plastic, too, but this time from drinking straws – just as the bird, the ring and the plastic straw lantern.
Very multifunctional, such a drinking straw ;-)

The flower on the photo should be the Dahlia (I’m a city kid and don’t know about these things ;-)).

Knitted Raffia Outdoor Pillows
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.
