That is a tote from chips bags where you don’t even have to sew.
Brilliant ;-)

Marbled Nails
I nearly never use nail polish, but I like the marbled nails so much that I will think about using it more often ;-)
Poncho Patterns
I’m thinking about knitting a poncho for myself from YouKnits and have looked therefore for poncho patterns – and found several where I only have to select the one I like ;-)

Butter Pen
I find the idea to fill an old (cleaned!) roll-on deodorant with butter to make a butter pen, awesome! :)
Because I don’t eat much butter and don’t believe that I could clean the roll-on sufficiently, I don’t think that I will ever make it.
But you want to, perhaps?! ;-)

iPod/Camera Cozy
I like this cute knobby cozy from t-shirt yarn very much :)
And for bigger cozies you can use bed sheet yarn ;-)

Jewelry Bust
With this jewelry bust you can treasure your jewelry, especially your necklaces, in a beautiful way and present them at the same time.
I presented a necklace bust before, I find this one more elegant with its unadorned white – but you must always look what looks best where.

Recycled Riding Hat
Isn’t this hat wonderful? And it’s built of only recycling material!
I don’t wear hats, but with this one I’m thinking it over ;-)

Granny Square Spiral
I once wrote a tutorial for a crochet spiral and I find such a Granny Square Spiral also great :)
- The video is in German, so here some explanations that may help:
- For the parts that get broader/smaller she’s using sequences of single crochets (“feste Masche”), half double crochets (“halbe Stäbchen”) and double crochets (“Stäbchen”), she ends every colour with a slip stitch (“Kettmasche”).
- At some points she’s crocheting more than one stitch in one stitch.
- After the Granny Square is actually finished, she adds a round of single crochets in the last colour to make the border more beautiful.
- The Granny Square spiral can always be made larger by crocheting more rounds.

- Slip stitch (sl st)
- Single crochet (sc)
- Half Double Crochet (hdc)
- Double crochet (dc)

Plastic Bottle and Button Bracelet
I’ve really taken a shine to this simple bracelet from a piece of a plastic bottle and a matching button. With the plain hole pattern at the edge I find it really nice.
