Reading Ring
Do you know this: when reading it can really strain your hand to hold open your book.
I find the reading ring a great solution!
It is made from Sugru which sounds very interesting.

Soap Socks
I find this a great idea: knit a soap sock that felts using it, similar to the felted soap.
But it goes a little further, because the author says in the comments that the soap sock becomes in time a smaller felted bag where you can put soap rests into. She uses them as scented sachets for her clothes drawers.

Leather Belt Bracelet
I found this leather belt bracelet as ‘Jewelry For Men’, but I find that if you use a more delicate belt also a woman can wear it.
Additionally you can then surely make also earrings and/or pins and/or pendants etc. from the rests of the belt ;-)

Lace Bowl
I’ve already presented the Lace Polymer Clay Bowl.
The lace bowl works similarly, they only use efaplast, an air-drying modelling clay. That makes it still easier :)
I didn’t find out whether this air-drying modelling clay is food safe, I don’t suppose so.
In the comments there are also nice inspirations:
– make an ornament for fir green this way,
– press lace from her wedding gown and
– leaves in the modelling clay.
Hm, both stamped play dough ornaments come to my mind, so it should also work with play dough ;-)

Yarn Wreath Ornaments
Well, these yarn wreath ornaments are really cute, aren’t they?
I think that you can use them also as gift tags or coupon Advent calendar.

Recycled Gift Tags
I find these recycled gift tags great!
As well the round as the rectangular elements can depending on the season easily be cut from old Birthday, Christmas, Easter, Spring or whatever cards, or from matching gift wrap papers that are glued to white paper for reinforcement.
In place of the gift wrap papers you should also can use pages from old books, beautiful pictures from (travel) brochures or self-made or self-stamped paper.
And photos.
And, yes, you should also be able to make a coupon Advent calendar! :)
And then you can also embroider, doodle, paint, cut to paper flowers the elements.
And incorporate small beads or yarn threads.
Whew, my imagination rans riot again ;-))

Knitted Cork Christmas Trees
Aren’t the knitted cork Christmas trees cute?!
They are meant to embellish bottle corks, but actually you can make from them a beautiful coupon Advent calendar :)
By the way, you can get at Drops a very good (not only) knitting dictionary.
