At first glance I thought that the flowers on the picture were real ;-)

Cardboard Cuffs
Every time I see these bracelets I’m thrilled
I didn’t like her ‘old ones’ very much, where she simply glued paper on the cardboard tubes because I find them too massive, but I find the ones with the opening really great!
I still must have such cardboard tubes somewhere, then I only need some wall paper rests or other colourful paper.
Perhaps the paper from the travel brochure? ;-)

Lace Jewelry Frames
Isn’t this a great idea to put a knitted lace into a frame to hold jewelry?
In the instruction you can also find a frame with a nice crochet lace.
By the way: actually you can use bought lace, too, can’t you? It must only be a little robust.
If you don’t like it, check again the other jewelry holders in the links below ;-)

Paper Rolls Wall Art
If you haven’t decorated your walls already with the yarn wall art you may want to try the paper rolls wall art ;-)
And if it’s not quite your cup of tea, you can make from your toilet paper rolls e.g. simple napkin holders, a cord holder, recycled gift tags and/or a hairpin lace loom ;-))

Plastic Bag Beads
I presented already some entries to the subject plastic bags, but none made beads from.
The basic material is a ‘fabric’ from plastic, they’re making beads from just as paper beads.
I like this combination ;-)

Paper Sun Mirror
This sun mirror is extraordinary, as I find!
I have to chose an appropriate book on the spot ;-)
Although the pages from the travel brochure from the paper shopping bag should look great, too!?
On the next occasion I’ll have to try it ;-)

Coffee Cup Packaging
Somebody had the great idea to use coffee cups as fancy packaging for little somethings.
Nice, isn’t it?
If you have more coffee cups than people to present with something simply try the coffee cup sphere lamp ;-)

Soft Toy Handbag
Did you always wanted to make a handbag from a soft toy?
I found a tutorial for this now :)
And if you feel this is too silly try to make a giant inflatable plastic animal from your soft toy ;-))

DIY Charge Station
In fact it is more a self-made holder to load small devices, but I find the idea great however.
My shampoo bottle is anyway nearly empty…
;-))
Note: It seems that this construction is not secure because it says in the entry that the original entry was removed due to security concerns.
Colourful Safety Pins Bracelet
I really like the colourful safety pins bracelet!
I find it more interesting with the safety pins than the paper bead bracelet where the paper beads are hold together from elastic alone.
Making paper beads really is simple, especially if you use a (self-made) paper beads roller.
You can even give the paper beads a slightly different form if you like to or make the beads from fabric.
However, it’ll be an interesting and beautiful item ;-)
A propos: If the style of the bracelet seems familiar look here ;-)
