Do you still have some old tea pots? What about making teapot flowerpots from them? ;-)
I find the idea great!
Plastic Bottle Flowers

Knit Two Socks in One
I don’t knit socks ;-)
One of the reasons is that if you feel you’re done, you still have a second sock to knit.
That’s no problem with the knit-two-socks-in-one-technique anymore.
Who knows, perhaps I even start knitting socks somewhen ;-))

Coffee Filter Card
I really like this card, which was made with a white coffee filter!
Thank you, Brigitte, for this link :)
Because my coffee filters are all brown and I don’t want to extra buy bleached coffee filters, I think that I will go back to my self coloured tissue papers ;-)
