…compilation of tutorials
Today there’s no tutorial, but I liked the aerial image greetings so much that I wanted to share.
Click on the picture to enlarge and to see better what this is about.
But the picture is only the result, the whole message is revealed letter by letter.
Have fun sending love to good friends!

I presented all sorts of boxes already, but when you want to wrap something little and flat like a cookie or a necklace pendant, most of them aren’t suitable because of their shape.
Quite different the pizza box gift box: it is folded like a pizza box and what could be flatter? ;-)
I really like the idea and the template and will use it for sure when needed.
I’ve never heard about before: surprise ball gifts, but I find the idea sooo great: the presentee can use everything incl. the ‘wrapping’.
I wonder who will get my first surprise ball gift ;-)

It’s not long anymore until Valentin’s Day. If you don’t know how best to show your love to your sweetheart let you inspire by the article ‘Valentine’s Day Photo Ideas’ at photojojo.
I just begun with taking a photo from my glass heart, perhaps I’ll make photos from me and my friend and give him the three pictures as message.
Perhaps I won’t ;-)))

Today I present a tutorial on how to make a spinner tutorial on how to make a spinner, which actually is meant for an Altered Book, but which can be used as well for a greeting card.
You can e.g. make a card for Valentine and write ‘I love you’ in different languages or make a gift coupon card with pictures of different plants and the beneficiary may select one of them, etc.

Not long ago my mother mentioned that she would like to have some slippers for Christmas because she has always cold feet.
When I read a very similar sentence at craftster in a thread, I knew immediately: that will be my Christmas gift.
The instruction is fine, on the photo you see my sketch for the sizes.
But I still have to buy the appropriate yarn.
P.S.: The specific point at the instruction is, that this is no ‘normal’ sock knitting, but it is about a sewn sock.

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 found at instructables a tutorial on how to make paper flowers.
It seems to be quite easy and they are looking amazingly beautiful!
When the gift wrapping begins soon this can be a wonderful decoration.
But it could be also a beautiful pin for a beautiful woman ;-))

I’m beginning to think about making an advent calendar.
This time I’d like to wrap some self-made pralines which is the reason that I searched for recipes.
Wow! Again there exist gazillions of links, you can find some links below.
On the photo you see a ‘Coconut Kiss’, the recipe can be found at craftster. It seems to be simple and delicious, I put it on my list ;-)
