Cardboard Cuffs

Every time I see these bracelets I’m thrilled
I didn’t like her ‘old ones’ very much, where she simply glued paper on the cardboard tubes because I find them too massive, but I find the ones with the opening really great!
I still must have such cardboard tubes somewhere, then I only need some wall paper rests or other colourful paper.
Perhaps the paper from the travel brochure? ;-)

Stained Glass Tile Beads

I always liked such tile beads and I find that the colourful tile beads from polymer clay look really good.
Sigh.

Lace Jewelry Frames

Links of entry

Isn’t this a great idea to put a knitted lace into a frame to hold jewelry?
In the instruction you can also find a frame with a nice crochet lace.
By the way: actually you can use bought lace, too, can’t you? It must only be a little robust.

If you don’t like it, check again the other jewelry holders in the links below ;-)

Sliding Knots

Links of entry

When you’ve made yourself some beautiful paper beads or plastic bag beads, you may want to make a necklace with them.
And if you don’t have a closure at hand use simply this sliding knots necklace.
If you don’t like it, you can always more or less quick make a closure yourself ;-)

Plastic Bag Beads

Links of entry

I presented already some entries to the subject plastic bags, but none made beads from.
The basic material is a ‘fabric’ from plastic, they’re making beads from just as paper beads.
I like this combination ;-)

Oglala Butterfly Necklace

Actually ruffles are not what I really like, but I find these ‘ruffle necklaces’ somehow fascinating.
I found in internet many pictures of other, equally beautiful necklaces and bracelets.
Later I found another tutorial for these and other ruffles which I used for my beaded bottle.

The tutorial is rather old and I could only find it in web archive: Oglala Butterfly

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!

Woven Circles Potholder

What a potholder!
It looks as if it wasn’t very hard to make it, but it looks definitely different from others ;-))
I can imagine it as a piece of jewelry or pin as well when crocheted with very fine thread.
