Still have some old sweaters? Make such a boot from them!
Another great idea, isn’t it? :)
As good as the Sweater Scarf and the yarn from sweaters ;-)
And if you don’t have a sweater to recycle, take t-shirts ;-))

Mostly I’m unnerved by the shampoo, shower gel and detergent plastic bottles and throw them away – where I should have kept them all to make such a wonderful plastic bottle light chain.
Or a lot of other great things.

Pantyhose Petals!
When I was a child it was fashionable to make these!
And now everything comes back.
Admittedly the panties are more colourful today – the petals get therefore more beautiful ;-)

What a great idea to plant old cameras!
I still have some and old lenses, some of which are broken and I don’t need them anymore, but I can’t part with them.
Perhaps I shouldn’t and instead plant them.
Hm, on the other hand I have a brown thumb, it can therefore get difficult to plant them.

Such a pin from old plastic bottles and the like can look really cute, can’t it?
Now I’m debating with myself on whether I should collect these, too.

I must confess that in fact I like to crochet doilies – but I don’t want to have them, because I don’t have a clue about what to do with them ;-).
That’s perhaps the reason why I like so much putting together things from squares or the like ;-))
Well, now I can make me such a doily scarf ;-)
I think that you can very well hand-dye it with tea or coffee.

There are soo beautiful stamps, why not make a little piece of jewelry from them?
One way is the already presented lamination, another the beading of stamps.
And with a little more thought I will get other ideas as well ;-))

Recently I presented the quick bag from a t-shirt, the pillowcase tote is of the same kind.
If you don’t really like both, I have already presented several other bags, purses and totes, I’m sure that there is something for you ;-)

Now there lies a lot of gift wrapping paper around at most of our homes and we have to think about what to do with it.
One possibility is to make envelopes from it – if it’s not too Christmassy then there’s no problem and if it is, then it’s great for the next year, after all Christmas always comes completely surprisingly ;-)
For me at least ;-)
