I must confess that I don’t like those victorian ornaments, but you can use the principle on other styles, too – e.g. with Halloween, Art Deco or doodle patterns or with your own photos.
Let’s see what I will make from it ;-)
Pop Tabs
I presented a pop tab bracelet already, now I’ve found more things made from pop tabs: a top for the evening, another pop tab bracelet and a purse made from interwoven pop tabs and a tote made from crochet joined pop tabs.
I’m speechless ;-)

Shoe Purse
Ever made a purse from an old shoe? ;-)
But that’s not for people with smelly feet ;-))

Closed Cast On
Some time ago I found a cast on for knitting that makes a real little bag without seams.
Eehm…
;-)
She uses it e.g. for socks which are knitted up from the toes.
I knitted a little bag and it worked great.
When reading it I thought that I dont’t understand it at all but when I simply did what she wrote it worked without problem.
I immediately unraveled the little bag because I didn’t need any little bag – but I should have taken a photo at least ;-))

Homemade Lip Gloss
I always have dry lips, sometimes more, sometimes less, but always dry.
Therefore I was glad to find the self-made lip gloss, because I will know what the ingredients are.
However I was a little unsure concerning the quantity of the ingredients, so I looked for more lip gloss recipes.
I think that the ‘Basic Lip Gloss Formula’ on the page was used for the lip gloss on the photo.
Let’s see how it works on my lips ;-))

Herringbone/Ndebele Necklace
Some time ago I made a Herringbone or Ndebele necklace.
I find it beautiful, it is wonderfully sleeky and simply elegant.
And I found the bead weaving itself downright relaxing.
To make sure that the necklace doesn’t look boring I simply made a little Peyote bead like for my paper beads bracelet, pulled it over the necklace and worked little bead fringes on the bead like for the pages 9 & 10 of my artist book – looots ;-)
Well, I like it ;-)

Necklace Bust
If you have necklaces you can always do with something to hang them up, as e.g. the mini dress-form jewelry stand.
That’s something you can use the wonderful bust for.
But it is also something very special if you want to sell jewelry.
Incidentally I think that you can craft it a little smaller if you need a gift wrap or sales wrapping for your necklace.
If the bust is made as greeting card the necklace can directly be send with it!?
If you make such a bust I’d really appreciate a comment with a link (as I’m glad about every comment ;-))

Gummy Bear Bracelet
I wanted to present the gummy bear bracelet for a long time already and now I managed to do it ;-)
However I didn’t make it yet because I still want to lose weight and I’m afraid that they could ‘disappear’ before I can varnish them ;-))
But it works similarly to the gummi candy lamp that I haven’t made yet for the same reason ;-))

Corrugated Leaves
Well, fall is coming.
The leaves look still beautiful outside, but soon they will be gone and then you can fall back on your own – if you like even evergreen – leaves.
There’s something to be said for that ;-))
By the way I imagine them also nice as pin.
Made e.g. with some stash yarn matching your purse.

Faux Turquoise
I found the jewelry with the self-made turquoise already a long time ago and was thrilled!
Once I tried myself making my own turquoises from Fimo but it didn’t quite work.
Somewhen I will try it again… ;-)
