I find this little basket cute, and it’s only print, cut, glue.
Great.

Keepsake Boxes from Bottle Caps
I think that I will buy at least two bigger plastic bottles soon which I will cover with paper mache and from the caps I will make boxes.
Then I only have to think about what to do with the content ;-)))

I don’t have often bigger plastic bottles but the covering with paper mache must work with shampoo bottles, too?! ;-)

Chocolate Chai
Hmmm, I love Chai and always wanted to make it myself (I know that ‘Chai”s just tea, I’m talking about Masala-Chai).
I’m curious how it tastes with chocolate :)

Knitted Lace Notecards
If you knit lace, e.g. for the Crazy Lace Cardigan or all sorts of other things, you should always knit swatches.
And what to do with them later on? (For me this is the reason why I don’t make swatches, often to my own disadvantage ;-)).
Anyway, I’ve found something now: you can ‘simply’ make knitted lace notecards with them ;-)
I presented a site with lots of knitting (lace) patterns before, so that you can start directly ;-)
And if knitting isn’t your cup of tea, it works of course with crochet, too, as you can see e.g. with my cro-tat card for Mother’s Day.

By her own account the pattern for the knitted lace notecard on the photo is Grün ist die Hoffnung which is available as free ravelry download.
There you can read the following: “Grün ist die Hoffnung was designed for the Socken-Kreativ-Liste, a German yahoo-KAL with 2000 members.
It is available in English and in German.
You can find the English version in my raverlry store for free. Please contact me for the German version.

Polymer Clay Swirled Pendant
Based on the lentil swirled beads she designed in the tutorial a most beautiful coat for all sorts of things.
Beautiful, isn’t it?

Beaded Diamond-Shaped Ring
Again a nice ring, this time with a very detailed tutorial.
If I have understood the tutorial well (I haven’t tried it yet), you can make the diamond-shaped part also as pendant or earring.
Anyway, have fun stringing beads ;-)

Crocheted Rose
There are a lot of crocheted flowers, anyhow I find this rose extraordinary.
I imagine it as a beautiful brooch or hair decoration.
Woven Bookmark
I always liked this paper weaving ;-)
By the way I have also seen it as decoration of a card, that’s nice, too.

Exlibris
Have you ever thought of designing your own exlibris?
In principle you can use an eraser stamp, but I couldn’t carve my name in this.
Perhaps it’d be better to use blank cutting blocks?! ;-)
