T-Shirt Necklace

cucumbersome T-Shirt Necklace

Links of entry

I presented already some tutorials with t-shirts, this time it is about making a necklace from the t-shirt (the link isn’t available no more, but she presents a tutorial for a recycled t-shirt bracelet which is done similarly).
When I heard it first I thought: ‘That’s silly’ but the photos convinced me that it’s not ;-)

And if you don’t have a t-shirt at hand take some old stockings ;-)

Making Good Photos

Recently I told that there were times when I didn’t know how to make good photos.
Now I learned that curious ground squirrels must be taken in regard when taking photos with delayed-action shutter release ;-)))

Self-made Oilcloths

I surfed the net and learned to my astonishment that you can make your own oilcloth – from fabric and self-adhesive sheets for covering books.
However I heard that sewing on self-adhesive sheets can make the sewing needles sticky, on the other hand the stickiness will be ironed there so perhaps it’s no more poblem.

Postcard Boxes

Once I’ve seen pictures of beautiful postcard boxes (that I don’t find back, unfortunately ;-() and I always wanted to make some.
Up until now I haven’t found the time but now that I even have templates for them, it should work somehow ;-))

Juice Rack

I’m always fascinated of all those ideas that people have – just as of this juice rack: simply nail some beverage cartons to a plank and you get a coat rack.
Sheer lunacy ;-))

If you have a coat rack already or you find this one interesting but don’t want to have it at your home ;-), you can make a lot of other stuff from your beverage cartons: beverage carton crochet, a Marudai, a weaving loom, a coin purse or a vase.
I’m sure that in the course of time more will come ;-))
And if you’d like to have a coat rack but not especially from beverage cartons take a look at the Bookhooks (from my entry Recycle books).

Masa Bag

I found this bag when looking for Furoshiki and find it great!

It is very easy to make: crochet (Or knit. Or sew. Or weave ;-)) a big rectangle and then you only have to fold it appropriately, that’s all!

Card Holder

Wow, an idea again that I really appreciate: take a phone book, roll it up and fix it with a ring of a nature what-so-ever and done is the card holder!

The silver coloured ring looks quite good, but I imagine that it would look as good when you wrap your card holder with wire, plastic, beautiful yarns or fabrics or when you slip a poymer clay ring over, the only thing to make sure is that you fix everything well.
And in place of the Yellow Pages you can use as well coloured ads or paper – neatly stacked – or books where you removed the cover.
