I must confess that I don’t like those victorian ornaments, but you can use the principle on other styles, too – e.g. with Halloween, Art Deco or doodle patterns or with your own photos.
Let’s see what I will make from it ;-)

Pop Tabs
I presented a pop tab bracelet already, now I’ve found more things made from pop tabs: a top for the evening, another pop tab bracelet and a purse made from interwoven pop tabs and a tote made from crochet joined pop tabs.
I’m speechless ;-)

Shoe Purse
Ever made a purse from an old shoe? ;-)
But that’s not for people with smelly feet ;-))

Beaded Wooden Spools
When I saw the little beaded wooden spools I directly wanted to go for making them myself!
Luckily I didn’t have any wooden spools at home at the moment ;-))
But you can easily ‘weave’ the little Peyote beads from my paper beads bracelet (without any wooden spools ;-)) around the wooden spools.

Washer Pendant
Recently we wrapped recycled gift tags, now washers.
And why not, most of us have enough stash yarn at any rate it looks cute ;-)

Salt & Pepper
Well, isn’t it a great idea making salt and pepper shakers from film containers?
It would be quite the right thing if you want to have salt and pepper at a picnic, isn’t it?
Although it gets now much to cold here for such events ;-))

DIY Storage
What about a really individual storage solution?
Simple, expressive and easily to be adapted to your needs.
Or something like this ;-)
Anyway it’s different than buying, isn’t it? ;-))
I can imagine how this ‘shelf’ would look hanging directly beside the juice rack ;-))

Beaded Shoes
I’d never have had the idea myself: beading shoes!
Up until now I mostly ‘jumped’ at buttons and pins and the bead embroidered Paisleys are still on my list, but shoes…
If you don’t like the pattern, check out again the cross stitch patterns treasures ;-)
I’m thrilled, it’s possible that I really will make them once ;-)
You can possibly even embroider your self-made shoes.
On the other hand it may be easier to spraypaint the shoes.
And if you are a sneaker type you may prefer to customize your sneakers ;-)
Besides fall has begun, possibly you better add crochet embellishments to your shoes?! ;-)

Button Jewelry
I find this ring so beautiful: just a little wire and two buttons.
Great!
It matches well the button necklace or the button collage necklace and to tell the truth I also like the other rings…
Again I don’t know where to begin ;-)

Plastic Bottle Candle Holder
I really like the idea for those plastic bottle candle holders – only the colours are not my cup of tea.
I imagine them vividly coloured – that would be great for a beautiful summer evening where you make a barbecue on the patio.
Now I only have to get a patio and a barbecue ;-)
