Recycled Roses

alisa burke Recycled Roses

I find these roses from fabric or paper most beautiful, even without wreath!
And it seems that they are easy to make, which does no harm! ;-))

They should look great for jewelry, too, for a ring or earring e.g.?!

If they’re not exactly your cup of tea simply look for flowers from fabric or flowers from paper ;-)

Toilet Paper (Wedding) Dresses

Cheap Chic Toilet Paper (Wedding) Dresses

When I read about Toilet Paper Wedding Dresses, I first thought that this is nonsense.
Until I saw the photos of the previous contests: Wow!

And if you think this is posh, simply try the newspaper dress ;-)

Faux Quilt Votives

Just Something I Made Faux Quilt Votives

I find this idea really great, too: simply scan old quilts, print, sew a little and wrap around a votive ;-)
It’s a little bit as with the Fabric/Paper Place Mat.
And I think that it would look wonderful, too, with a paper Crazy Quilt!

By the way: the paper gets more transparent when you paint it slightly with oil.
It will smell a while, but then the smell disappears ;-)

On the page she also shows how to print the quilt picture onto inkjet T-shirt transfer and embellish leather with it – great!

Fabric/Paper Place Mat

alisaburke Fabric Paper Place Mat

When I saw these place mats I was compleeetly thrilled: that’s exactly what I love so much!
She seems to use as well fabric as paper – many of these self coloured.
And I do love to work with paper, e.g. at my paper shopping bag or my paper Crazy Quilt ;-)

Miniature Marble Stamps

craftster Miniature Marble Stamps

The people have soo great ideas: the miniature marble stamps are nothing else than transparent glass pebbles, flat on one side where she glued on some cut craft foam: fast and effective.
And beautiful ;-)

You can easily glue on little filled and empty squares and then stamp patterns from crochet or cross stitch embroidery charts ;-)

And if you don’t like to stamp then you can make a beautiful ring from your glass pebble ;-)
