A nice idea to encase the Advent wreath with knitted or crocheted wool ;-)

I never worked with straw before and the straw marquetry doesn’t look too difficult ;-)
Mainly it is straw, made softer with water, cut open and flattet and then glued on plain printing paper as parallel as possible.
She made two sheets, one with natural straw, one with straw dyed with batik colours.
Both sheets are stacked with a template and then cut carefully with an X-acto knife.
Then she put the pieces together as you can see in the tutorial.

I found the article through the photo, but I was fascinated by the fact that she describes in her article exactly how I’m always feeling ;-)))

Well, I’m not a good sewer, but I’m sure that with the tutorial for the non-rectangular magic bag even I can sew a bag.
I find the tutorial great! :)
By the way, the bag on the picture was sewn quick and dirty during the lunch break, just to see whether it works ;-)

As you can see you can make more with paper beads than bracelets ;-))

I found empty charts for beaded fringe earrings: you can colour them in yourself and get a template for your own earrings.
Great idea!

Did you always wanted a giant Lapis Lazuli pendant?
No problem: Make your semiprecious stone yourself ;-))
And if not Lapis Lazuli, then try other faux stones ;-)

I really like the chart for a filet crochet doily :))

‘Chocolate Modelling Clay’ seems strange, but it’s about making a substance you can fill molds with.
It looks interesting, I must see whether I can find beautiful molds.
Actually it’s quite similar to the edible stucco ;-)
