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

Corrugated Leaves
Well, fall is coming.
The leaves look still beautiful outside, but soon they will be gone and then you can fall back on your own – if you like even evergreen – leaves.
There’s something to be said for that ;-))
By the way I imagine them also nice as pin.
Made e.g. with some stash yarn matching your purse.

Crayon Candles
Now that’s getting sooner dark candles become more interesting again – as I find.
I found a tutorial for crayon candles that I think is absolutely great, because it’s ‘only’ making use of leftovers, but I find the results stunning.
But I still need my crayons ;-)

Fantasy Computer Frame
I have a most ordinary and totally boring beige-gray computer screen – perhaps I should do something about?! ;-))
I don’t like the ‘stone look’ though, I’d prefer something baroque-y ;-))

Fake Rock Keychain
Must be quite heavy, such a rock key chain, mustn’t it?
It mustn’t! ;-))
It is fake stone and made from foam and spraypainted ;-)
I don’t quite understand how it works and why it isn’t dented, but at the moment I can’t make it because I still need my mattress at night ;-))
And by the way it should be possible to make them from paper maché, shouldn’t it?
And wearing it around your neck should look, great, too ;-)

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 ;-))

Recycled Gift Tags
The gift tags on the photo aren’t ready yet: I simply can’t decide with which yarn I should wrap them.
But I find the idea really great: flatten the cardboard tube, cut it in strips and wrap the pieces with yarn.
I think that it could look beautiful, too, when wrapped in a piece of beautiful polymer clay and worn as necklace, earring or pin.
Hm.
When reading the instructions for the gift tags I had to think somehow at the surprise ball gifts ;-)
But she had other ideas, too, about what to make with these paper shapes, namely a cute tealight and an interesting lamp decoration.
I presented before entries about recycled cardboard tubes here in this blog, namely the beaded amulet bag, the plaster photo holder and the knitting loom from a plastic bottle.
But there the cardboard tube was ‘only’ a tool.

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 ;-))

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 ;-)
