I presented some boxes already, the one of today is folded from old greeting cards.
On the photo you can see it folded from a calendar or magazin sheet as a gift wrapping for my hyperbolic pin.
I find both (gift and box) still great! :)

Oh my god! If I had a figure like this I’d go on search for an old crocheted tablecloth immediately and make me such a dress ;-))

What a cute idea: Before going for a walk you take a piece of tape around your wrist (sticky side at the outside! ;-)) and while walking you stick on a lot of beautiful leaves and flowers.
When you’re coming home you have a wonderful nature bracelet.
She seems to have done this in springtime but the fall leaves also look great.
And by the way you can cut open the tape at home and use it for a card ;-))

I must confess that I don’t like those victorian ornaments, but you can use the principle on other styles, too – e.g. with Halloween, Art Deco or doodle patterns or with your own photos.
Let’s see what I will make from it ;-)
I presented a pop tab bracelet already, now I’ve found more things made from pop tabs: a top for the evening, another pop tab bracelet and a purse made from interwoven pop tabs and a tote made from crochet joined pop tabs.
I’m speechless ;-)

Ever made a purse from an old shoe? ;-)
But that’s not for people with smelly feet ;-))

Some time ago I found a cast on for knitting that makes a real little bag without seams.
Eehm…
;-)
She uses it e.g. for socks which are knitted up from the toes.
I knitted a little bag and it worked great.
When reading it I thought that I dont’t understand it at all but when I simply did what she wrote it worked without problem.
I immediately unraveled the little bag because I didn’t need any little bag – but I should have taken a photo at least ;-))

I always have dry lips, sometimes more, sometimes less, but always dry.
Therefore I was glad to find the self-made lip gloss, because I will know what the ingredients are.
However I was a little unsure concerning the quantity of the ingredients, so I looked for more lip gloss recipes.
I think that the ‘Basic Lip Gloss Formula’ on the page was used for the lip gloss on the photo.
Let’s see how it works on my lips ;-))

Some time ago I made a Herringbone or Ndebele necklace.
I find it beautiful, it is wonderfully sleeky and simply elegant.
And I found the bead weaving itself downright relaxing.
To make sure that the necklace doesn’t look boring I simply made a little Peyote bead like for my paper beads bracelet, pulled it over the necklace and worked little bead fringes on the bead like for the pages 9 & 10 of my artist book – looots ;-)
Well, I like it ;-)

If you have necklaces you can always do with something to hang them up, as e.g. the mini dress-form jewelry stand.
That’s something you can use the wonderful bust for.
But it is also something very special if you want to sell jewelry.
Incidentally I think that you can craft it a little smaller if you need a gift wrap or sales wrapping for your necklace.
If the bust is made as greeting card the necklace can directly be send with it!?
If you make such a bust I’d really appreciate a comment with a link (as I’m glad about every comment ;-))
