Cardboard Cuffs

craftster Cardboard Cuffs

Every time I see these bracelets I’m thrilled
I didn’t like her ‘old ones’ very much, where she simply glued paper on the cardboard tubes because I find them too massive, but I find the ones with the opening really great!
I still must have such cardboard tubes somewhere, then I only need some wall paper rests or other colourful paper.
Perhaps the paper from the travel brochure? ;-)

Lace Jewelry Frames

Stitch Diva Studios Lace Jewelry Frames

Isn’t this a great idea to put a knitted lace into a frame to hold jewelry?
In the instruction you can also find a frame with a nice crochet lace.
By the way: actually you can use bought lace, too, can’t you? It must only be a little robust.

If you don’t like it, check again the other jewelry holders in the links below ;-)

Spacing Stamps

I cut myself some eraser stamps already and even an eraser stamp with a repeated pattern, but if I try to print a background pattern from stamp repeats I always have problems.
The entry about spacing stamps helped me further :)

Paper Rolls Wall Art

If you haven’t decorated your walls already with the yarn wall art you may want to try the paper rolls wall art ;-)
And if it’s not quite your cup of tea, you can make from your toilet paper rolls e.g. simple napkin holders, a cord holder, recycled gift tags and/or a hairpin lace loom ;-))

Sliding Knots

When you’ve made yourself some beautiful paper beads or plastic bag beads, you may want to make a necklace with them.
And if you don’t have a closure at hand use simply this sliding knots necklace.
If you don’t like it, you can always more or less quick make a closure yourself ;-)

Plastic Bag Beads

The NewNew Plastic Bag Beads

I presented already some entries to the subject plastic bags, but none made beads from.
The basic material is a ‘fabric’ from plastic, they’re making beads from just as paper beads.
I like this combination ;-)

Fabric Bowl Cover

Well, if the time for picnics comes it’s good to have finished with the covers for the salad bowls, isn’t it?
And it doesn’t always have to be from plastic ;-)

You can even make yourself the oil cloth for the picnic, to make the salad bowl from fabric is perhaps a little bit on the extreme side ;-))
But when you’re at it you may want to make place mats matching the oil cloth and sew pot holders for the Barbecue.
You don’t have to sew a bag if you confine yourself to using a Furoshiki ;-)
