…compilation of tutorials
I always like looking for Origami tutorials and this time I’d like to present a tutorial for a little purse.
I know those purses from former times, they were made from leather. I had one, and soon I will make one from paper ;-)
Thinking about it, it must look great, if you use coloured magazine paper?! I have to try this.

Doesn’t the bracelet look great?
I am totally stunned and set it immediately on my What-I-still- want-to-bead-list ;-))
It doesn’t seem to be difficult, it seems to require ‘only’ a certain amount of patience (ehm… ;-)) and the tutorial has very good pictures.

I wanted to present a tutorial on how to make a paper bowl from paper stripes, there are lots of them.
With such a craft you can do with my tutorial on how to fold paper strips of equal width ;-))
Have fun rolling and glueing!

Not long ago I found great Makrame tutorials, e.g. a tutorial on how to makrame a basket.
Sigh. When I find the time ;-)

Although I don’t sew I can’t resist looking for interesting posts.
The tutorial on how to sew a business card holder is one of those – in my humble opinion ;-)
Have fun sewing ;-)

From time to time I’m working with plaster and so I thought that I could search for low-priced alternatives for making moulds.
This way I found at instructables.com a tutorial on how to make moulds from jello.
That’s something I really have to try!

I’m browsing from time to time Project Gutenberg and found last time a book about spool knitting from 1909. They have mittens, bed shoes, a baby ball and much more, all made from I-cords.
It feels to me like a book from the 70th’s ;-))
Perhaps I do a little rummage to play with my knitting spool once more ;-)

I hope. that you will have as much fun here as you had before.
The ‘old’ blog will be kept as it is, you therefore don’t have to update your bookmarks.
But the future will happen here :)
Note: Unfortunately I have still problems with the redirection, though please don’t be afraid if the addresses sometimes look strange ;-(
I will fix it as fast as possible.
I have seen the beautiful tesselations and wanted to make one myself – That is difficult!
On the photo you see what I could do up until now – but in the instructions it reads: Be patient ;-))

As I said before, I mostly knit/crochet with the yarn end that sits in the skein to prevent the skein to roll all over.
Sometimes I must roll my yarn ball myself and I found that the tutorial on how to make my own center pull yarn ball is really a help.
It works great!
