Cardboard Cuffs

Every time I see these bracelets I’m thrilled
I didn’t like her ‘old ones’ very much, where she simply glued paper on the cardboard tubes because I find them too massive, but I find the ones with the opening really great!
I still must have such cardboard tubes somewhere, then I only need some wall paper rests or other colourful paper.
Perhaps the paper from the travel brochure? ;-)

Sigh, aren’t these earrings beautiful?
My various I-really-must-try-this- and I-really-must-have-this-lists are growing further.
;-)

Addendum of June 15, 2010: I got a nice e-mail where she told me that there’s a video with the folding instructions.
Many thanks!

Paper Sun Mirror

This sun mirror is extraordinary, as I find!
I have to chose an appropriate book on the spot ;-)
Although the pages from the travel brochure from the paper shopping bag should look great, too!?

On the next occasion I’ll have to try it ;-)

Colourful Safety Pins Bracelet

I Am Momma - Hear Me Roar Colourful Safety Pins Bracelet

Links of entry

I really like the colourful safety pins bracelet!
I find it more interesting with the safety pins than the paper bead bracelet where the paper beads are hold together from elastic alone.
Making paper beads really is simple, especially if you use a (self-made) paper beads roller.
You can even give the paper beads a slightly different form if you like to or make the beads from fabric.
However, it’ll be an interesting and beautiful item ;-)

A propos: If the style of the bracelet seems familiar look here ;-)
