Before throwing or giving away old clothing next time better check if you can’t make a lamp from ;-))

Faux Pysanky Easter Eggs
I’ve often seen Pysanky Easter eggs in internet and always found them great. But to tell the truth I find it much to time-consuming to make wax batik on eggs.
That’s why I was thrilled when finding the tutorial on how to make faux Pysanky Easter eggs which are simply painted with felt-tip pens and which I find as beautiful as the real eggs ;-)

Braided Bracelet
I presented some braided bracelets before, here’s another cute braided bracelet :)
I like best the idea to simply braid in everything that matches.
And if you still have material over you can easily make matching tassel earrings or mini bracelets as rings or pendants or even whole necklaces.
I must go and see what lays around here somewhere…

Onion Skin Dyed Easter Eggs
Because I nearly forgot Valentine’s Day I prefer to start a little sooner with Easter crafts.
And you may possibly practice a little before ;-)
I find that the onion skin dyed Easter eggs look wonderful and it doesn’t seem too hard to make them :)

Crochet Flower Card
I already presented some crochet flowers, I find the idea to make vernal crochet flower cards with them neat :)
Hm, this would also look cute with Crazy Daisies, wouldn’t it?

Self-made Hula Hoop
I find that a self-made Hula Hoop is exactly the right thing to burn off the winter fat ;-)

Coloured Cookie Plate
Not long ago I presented faux ceramic and milk glass vases.
In a similar way you can also make wonderful coloured cookie plates.
I find them just right for a spring coffee table :)

Cardboard Brooch
You must not always use precious material to make beautiful jewelry: how about a cardboard pin? :)

Concerning unikatissima
Here at unikatissima’s compilation of tutorials I present every day a tutorial or an inspiration for crafting or fiber craft.
By now it are already more than 1800 entries(!) and I can hardly believe that I wrote my first entries five years ago today (on that day it’s been three entries at once because it felt stupid to have a blog with only one entry ;-))!
If I write new entries I mostly know what I’ve presented before, but it happens sometimes that I want to present a great tutorial only to find that I’ve done this before ;-)
Keep on having fun, as well getting inpired as well as crafting and doing fiber crafts and let’s see what the next five years will bring :))
