Bread Bread Basket

I find the idea of making a bread basket from bread dough great ;-)
Particularly because I wanted (somewhen!) work with play dough again.

T-Shirt Necklace

I presented already some tutorials with t-shirts, this time it is about making a ~~necklace from the t-shirt~~ (the link isn’t available no more, but she presents a tutorial for a recycled t-shirt bracelet which is done similarly).
When I heard it first I thought: ‘That’s silly’ but the photos convinced me that it’s not ;-)

And if you don’t have a t-shirt at hand take some old stockings ;-)

Making Good Photos

Links of entry

Recently I told that there were times when I didn’t know how to make good photos.
Now I learned that curious ground squirrels must be taken in regard when taking photos with delayed-action shutter release ;-)))

Beaded Ring

A long time ago I have found a tutorial for a cute beaded ring and then I’ve lost it.
But now I have found it again ;-)))

Have fun beading :)

Lace and Cable Sweaters

Links of entry

I found a page with patterns for beautiful lace and cable sweaters – I wanted to present it.

When you’re looking, take your time – there is a lot to see :))

Self-made Oilcloths

Links of entry

I surfed the net and learned to my astonishment that you can make your own oilcloth – from fabric and self-adhesive sheets for covering books.
However I heard that sewing on self-adhesive sheets can make the sewing needles sticky, on the other hand the stickiness will be ironed there so perhaps it’s no more poblem.

Plastic Bottle Vase

Links of entry

I had some tutorials concerning ‘plastic bottles’ before, but I find this one still special: I would never have had the idea to work a plastic bottle this way!

Postcard Boxes

Links of entry

Once I’ve seen pictures of beautiful postcard boxes (that I don’t find back, unfortunately ;-() and I always wanted to make some.
Up until now I haven’t found the time but now that I even have templates for them, it should work somehow ;-))

Juice Rack

Links of entry

I’m always fascinated of all those ideas that people have – just as of this juice rack: simply nail some beverage cartons to a plank and you get a coat rack.
Sheer lunacy ;-))

If you have a coat rack already or you find this one interesting but don’t want to have it at your home ;-), you can make a lot of other stuff from your beverage cartons: beverage carton crochet, a Marudai, a weaving loom, a coin purse or a vase.
I’m sure that in the course of time more will come ;-))
And if you’d like to have a coat rack but not especially from beverage cartons take a look at the Bookhooks (from my entry Recycle books).
