Poor Man Side Flash

unikatissima Poor Man Side Flashunikatissima Poor Man Side Flash

The instruction on how to make a poor man side flash is really great!
I just made a very quick try. On the left photo you see an indirectly flashed glass and on the right photo a directly flashed glass.
I find the result convincing, especially because I 1. didn’t pay anything for it and it was 2. a very, very quick try!
(The more so as you don’t see so good at the indirectly flashed glass that I didn’t dried the glass too well at the last washing up ;-)))
This indirect flashing is similar to my entry Taking Photos from Jewelry.

Peyote Triangle Bracelet

thisyearsdozen_wordpress Peyote Triangle Bracelet

Recently I browsed the internet for Peyote bead work and this way I found the instruction on how to make a Peyote triangle bracelet (see instead this diagram).
Looks great, doesn’t it?

My to-do-list gets longer and longer ;-))

But I found a diagram (Triangle Peyote Stitch.Beadwork.) that you can possibly use instead.

I found a Japanese website (translated) where you can download photo frames to be printed and fold by yourself. Some look really nice, I find.

Wire Wrapped Hardware

When seeing this tutorial on how to make jewelry from hardware store stuff I feel the urge to drive to the next hardware store immediately and rummage around.
But I will stay strong and wait until the next occasion.
Or perhaps I just sneak off to my basement…
;-)))

Sketches for Cards

I presented before a website where you can find card sketches.
This time it’s a website which shows sketches for cards, for scrapbooking and more.
Some of them are soo beautiful!
What I like most are the added photos which show how you can realize the sketched card.

Bauble – Knitted Bead Cuff

unikatissima Bauble.jpg

I found at knitty the instruction for the knitted bead cuff ‘Bauble’ and really liked it.
Therefore I wanted to knit at least a bit to see how it looks.
Because I don’t have any bigger beads at the moment I used some left over paper beads.
But I didn’t manage to knit the bead string at all.
I really must try it again when I’m a little more untroubled because I really find Bauble beautiful!

Tea Light Holders

unikatissima Tea Light Holders

Ok, slowly the days become lighter but you can always do with a nice tea light holder.
In the instruction on how to make a tea light holder form corrugated cardboard they are meant for Halloween, but by simply selecting other colours you can actually fit them to everything.
Because you have to wrap the tea light several times I think that they are quite robust.
I already have prepared my stuff ;-)

Necklace out of Laddered Stockings and Tights

Smaggle Stockings Necklace

If it’s cold outside I confess that I often wear tights and when they become eventually laddered I always find it a pity to throw them away.
And I won’t in the future because I found an instruction on how to make a necklace out of laddered stockings and tights ;-))
At the moment I’m still wearing them at my legs, but soon…
;-)

Celtic Cross Stitch Generator

As Tharena said in the comment the page isn’t accessible anymore – and unfortunately I haven’t found another one ;-(

Something nice again for filet crocheters, cross stitchers, illusion and pattern knitters etc.pp: a generator with which you can create two coloured patterns in a celtic appearing alphabet.
Ehm, this could have been said in a more complicated way, I think, but not much more ;-)))

As always: Best try it yourself!
