This idea is great: I think that I will make this, too, and see if anybody notices ;-)
Geometric Polymer Clay Pendant
I don’t only like the geometric polymer clay pendant, but also the way the beads are connected.

Toilet Paper (Wedding) Dresses

When I read about Toilet Paper Wedding Dresses, I first thought that this is nonsense.
Until I saw the photos of the previous contests: Wow!
And if you think this is posh, simply try the newspaper dress ;-)

The Beauty of Brown Leaves
To tell the truth: I only like woods if they are green
Brown is boring!
At least that’s what I thought until I saw this picture ;-)
You live and learn ;-))

TetraPak CD Case
Have you ever tried to mail a CD? It should be well packed and if you don’t have a plastic casing (or don’t like them) you can simply make a robust CD case from TetraPak.
I find this a great idea!

Online Pythagoras Calculator
I decided to crochet a Bolero from self-designed crochet motives and selected the Bolero 1 as pattern (see the links below on how to find the pattern).
With Bolero 1 the square crochet motives are worked standing on their tip and I knew the width of the back of my Bolero.
So then I ‘only’ had to find out how long the edges of my crochet motives have to be and it’s Pythagoras who’s responsible for ;-)
And then I thought that I’m surely not the only one with such questions. You can get the same problem e.g. if you want to knit Entrelac and want to find out the size of the individual squares. I suppose that there are more uses for this when crafting or needleworking.
For all those people I wrote my Online Pythagoras Calculator ;-)

Faux Quilt Votives
I find this idea really great, too: simply scan old quilts, print, sew a little and wrap around a votive ;-)
It’s a little bit as with the Fabric/Paper Place Mat.
And I think that it would look wonderful, too, with a paper Crazy Quilt!
By the way: the paper gets more transparent when you paint it slightly with oil.
It will smell a while, but then the smell disappears ;-)
On the page she also shows how to print the quilt picture onto inkjet T-shirt transfer and embellish leather with it – great!

Brioche Stitch Knitting
I thought for some reason that brioche stitch knitting looked boring and was boring – until I found The Brioche Stitch.

Another beautiful decoration for the table: the Anthurium Anthurium made from a chillie.
Check also the other food decoration that I presented before.
