Gift Wrap becomes Coaster

What a beautiful idea: if you take away carefully the gift wrap you get a coaster :)

Reading Ring

Links of entry

Do you know this: when reading it can really strain your hand to hold open your book.
I find the reading ring a great solution!
It is made from Sugru which sounds very interesting.

Soap Socks

Links of entry

I find this a great idea: knit a soap sock that felts using it, similar to the felted soap.

But it goes a little further, because the author says in the comments that the soap sock becomes in time a smaller felted bag where you can put soap rests into. She uses them as scented sachets for her clothes drawers.

Leather Belt Bracelet

Links of entry

I found this leather belt bracelet as ‘Jewelry For Men’, but I find that if you use a more delicate belt also a woman can wear it.
Additionally you can then surely make also earrings and/or pins and/or pendants etc. from the rests of the belt ;-)

Lace Bowl

Links of entry

I’ve already presented the Lace Polymer Clay Bowl.
The lace bowl works similarly, they only use efaplast, an air-drying modelling clay. That makes it still easier :)
I didn’t find out whether this air-drying modelling clay is food safe, I don’t suppose so.

In the comments there are also nice inspirations:
– make an ornament for fir green this way,
– press lace from her wedding gown and
– leaves in the modelling clay.

Hm, both stamped play dough ornaments come to my mind, so it should also work with play dough ;-)
