Oil Lamp From Orange

I’ve seen the oil lamp from an orange and a little oil before, but I’ve completely forgotten about it.
Unfortunately the time for oranges here is nearly over, I will have to come back to the other oil lamp which works with cotton for a certain time.
And I don’t know whether I will prefer to make embellished oranges, then ;-)

Plastic Bottle Chandelier

Links of entry

If you have eaten already the flowery pudding from the bottom of a plastic bottle, you can still make a chandelier from the ‘pudding mould’ ;-))

And if you don’t like it, simply make another lampshade ;-)

Flowery Pudding

Links of entry

Again a really good idea: cut off the bottom of a plastic bottle and let set the pudding in there.
And soon you have a flowery pudding :))

But of course you can do muuuch more with plastic bottles ;-)

Addendum: In my German entry somebody commented saying the following (translation by me):
“Plastic bottles emit softening agents, environmental hormones and bisphenol-A from into their content. All not exactly good for your health. The warmer the content the more they emit. So not a good idea!

If you really want to do this let the pudding at least nearly completely cool down.”

Can Plant Markers

I find these can plant markers really nice!
Because I don’t have no garden I won’t use them but in the same way you can make lovely decorations for garden and balcony ;-)

Recycled Roses

Links of entry

I find these roses from fabric or paper most beautiful, even without wreath!
And it seems that they are easy to make, which does no harm! ;-))

They should look great for jewelry, too, for a ring or earring e.g.?!

If they’re not exactly your cup of tea simply look for flowers from fabric or flowers from paper ;-)

Colourful Coasters from Curling Ribbon

Links of entry

I really like the idea of the coasters, too: you often get curling ribbon nearly thrown after and it’s always wonderfully colourful, just the right thing for a picnic or a festive meal on the patio :)

But be careful: the coasters aren’t likely to be heat-proof!

And if you don’t like them, I have more tutorials for coasters ;-)

Sock Grass Heads

There, aren’t the little ones real personalities? ;-)
Well, perhaps I will put some of these little ones on my balcony.
If I haven’t anything better to do with my socks ;-))

Sewn Potholders

Links of entry

I find these sewn potholders soo beautiful!
I even tried it once but it didn’t work: I wanted to sew on spirals, but the stitching made the fabric pucker up completely although I made the stitch length as long as possible.
Probably the needle thread tension was too high or the like, I have to try it once more.
Somewhen ;-))
