…compilation of tutorials
A great idea again: customize accessories to your clothes with spray paints.
This way you can make i.e. comfortable shoes for dancing matching your ball dress ;-)
Or follow the ideas of Buy Nothing Day and revamp a by now shabby handbag to match your newest coat.
You also could have coloured one of your boots in red and fill it with some sweets ;-))

I don’t find the title exceptional.

A lovely little gift could be the photo pencils with your own photo.
I really like the idea, it is similar to the paper pen decoration, but this time with your own photos and for a couple of pencils.
Furthermore it must be nice to decorate the recycled magazine rollups that I presented yesterday instead of pencils by glueing the clippings of your own photo on the paper rolls :)

I found a really nice decoration for cylindrical containers, the tutorial on how to make a vase from recycled magazine paper tutorial on how to make a vase from recycled magazine paper. You need a glass or a can, but for other containers that don’t have to be watertight a cardboard tube will suffice.
I like it, especially because it is often difficult to make watertight containers from paper.

I found it via the Buy Nothing Swap thread which I found browsing the craftster Swap Galleries and where I found the gallery of the Buy Nothing Swap and the Buy Nothing Swap Round 2 ;-)
I want to see if I can’t realize the idea behind in some small ways it in the following year :)

I love recycling tutorials and therefore this tutorial on how to make aluminium can jewelry should hit the spot.
Additionally I really like the items, better than others.
But I haven’t bought aluminium cans for years and I don’t think that I will begin to buy them now just to make jewelry from the them ;-))

This time it’s no tutorial for the necktie flower brooches, but I really liked them and want to see if I can make one.
It cant’ be soo hard ;-)
(The brooch on the photo is a fake, I didn’t want to cut my necktie ;-))

Via browsing art for housewives I found the tutorial on how to make a t-shirt with a twist. You sew it from a plain t-shirt and it doesn’t seem to be difficult.
After I lost a little weight I will give it a try ;-)

I found this tutorial on how to make a mini greenhouse from lightbulbs via art for housewives.
Somehow I don’t know how to cram the big plant into the small light.
;-))
Perhaps I better stick to the lightbulb window vase ;-)

I found a tutorial on how to print with a rolling pin.
The idea is really great.
I couldn’t try it yet, but when I will, I want to try it with those ready-bought fun foam shapes.
