Recycled Gift Tags

The gift tags on the photo aren’t ready yet: I simply can’t decide with which yarn I should wrap them.

But I find the idea really great: flatten the cardboard tube, cut it in strips and wrap the pieces with yarn.
I think that it could look beautiful, too, when wrapped in a piece of beautiful polymer clay and worn as necklace, earring or pin.
Hm.

When reading the instructions for the gift tags I had to think somehow at the surprise ball gifts ;-)

But she had other ideas, too, about what to make with these paper shapes, namely a cute tealight and an interesting lamp decoration.

I presented before entries about recycled cardboard tubes here in this blog, namely the beaded amulet bag, the plaster photo holder and the knitting loom from a plastic bottle.
But there the cardboard tube was ‘only’ a tool.

Button Jewelry

I find this ring so beautiful: just a little wire and two buttons.
Great!
It matches well the button necklace or the button collage necklace and to tell the truth I also like the other rings…
Again I don’t know where to begin ;-)

Knit and Felt a Knot Bracelet

Links of entry

These knit-felted knot bracelets are cute, aren’t they?

I think that you can surely make them with filled I-cords, too, then they are more firm (only take care about what happens to the filling when felting with hot water!). In principle it’s what Sue suggested in her comment.

Or the whole thing may be even possible with a buttoned I-cord bracelet, where the original was made with beads. When using glass buttons or glass beads it should be no problem to felt it (but I haven’t tried it yet).

Possibly you can even use filled and felted I-cords to make a fabric bowl from?!

And when you felt some of the cords of the cute spaghetti scrap scarf it surely looks great, too.

Oof, soo many ideas ;-))

Spiral Rope Chain

Links of entry

Actually it’s time to bead me a nice necklace, e.g. this spiral chain.
At least I find that I should ;-)

She says that it is an easy stitch that is worked quickly.
Once I tried the stitch and I find that she’s right.
Only I gave the necklace away and took (of course!) no photo before.
Well, I have to make it again, this time for me ;-)

Wire Hairpin Lace Bracelet

You can do a lot with wire – even hair pin lace!
Looks wonderful, the bracelet, doesn’t it?

Oh yes, my list ;-))

But I have already a self-made hair pin lace loom ;-))

Beaded Bicone Bead

Finally a beaded bead again ;-)

I like this one very much, the shape is more dynamic than the one of the easy Peyote beads that I presented at the paper beads.

I haven’t tried them yet (of course!) but I will one day ;-)

Button Collage Necklaces

Links of entry

Even if the ‘pendants’ don’t really match my liking, I find the idea and the workmanship really great!
In fact she only wrotes as ‘instruction’: “I don’t really have a process on
how I make them it’s a trial and error thing.”
That means that it is my part to realize something to my liking – as necklace, as earring, as pin and so on ;-))
And I have already some tutorials for buttons ;-)

Celtic Circle Knot

Links of entry

I find this Celtic Circle Knot really beautiful and imagine it depending on the used yarn as an ornament on a card, a pin or a hair decoration.
But I can’t show my own photo yet because my fingers were up until now much too clumsy for it ;-))

And when I have worked it out I can possibly even design my own Celtic Knot ;-)
