…compilation of tutorials
In fact it is more a self-made holder to load small devices, but I find the idea great however.
My shampoo bottle is anyway nearly empty…
;-))
Note: It seems that this construction is not secure because it says in the entry that the original entry was removed due to security concerns.
Do the cords lie around everywhere? Simply cram them into a toilet paper cardboard roll on the wall ;-)))
I find this idea simply amazing!
And as creative as we are we surely can embellish the tube ;-))
By the way, I have more things that can be done with cardboard tubes ;-))

I busied myself with ‘needle weaving’ before, it was about a necklace and I’ve said that it would be suitable for little purses.
And – ta-da – I’m finding a tutorial on how to weave a purse with it.
Well, I’m ahead of the times ;-)))

Recently I wanted to bead loom two patterns of my random squares pattern generator and needed a bead loom for this.
I’ve completely forgotten about the tutorial that I presented for my other bead bracelet (well, the entries pile up :)) and simply wound my thread around a cardboard fruit dish and just started.
The advantage is that I have plenty of thread to weave in after cutting the threads on the back of the dish.
And if you don’t have a cardboard fruit dish I’m sure that you can use a box of chocolates, too ;-)
I didn’t need to make little notches with my cardboard fruit dish because it was rough enough, but with a box of chocolates I think it would be better, just as described in the tutorial.
And that’s it.
I haven’t woven in all threads and have no closure yet – I can’t decide.
It’s done with the random squares pattern 1 further below.
And here I began another one that I make with the random squares pattern 2 further below.

Again a really good idea: cut off the bottom of a plastic bottle and let set the pudding in there.
And soon you have a flowery pudding :))
But of course you can do muuuch more with plastic bottles ;-)
Addendum: In my German entry somebody commented saying the following (translation by me):
“Plastic bottles emit softening agents, environmental hormones and bisphenol-A from into their content. All not exactly good for your health. The warmer the content the more they emit. So not a good idea!
If you really want to do this let the pudding at least nearly completely cool down.”

I find these can plant markers really nice!
Because I don’t have no garden I won’t use them but in the same way you can make lovely decorations for garden and balcony ;-)

I find these sewn potholders soo beautiful!
I even tried it once but it didn’t work: I wanted to sew on spirals, but the stitching made the fabric pucker up completely although I made the stitch length as long as possible.
Probably the needle thread tension was too high or the like, I have to try it once more.
Somewhen ;-))

What a clever idea: simply fill a wooden box with wooden kebab skewers and you get a universal knife block!

When I saw this circular needle organizer I was amazed: again a very simple and yet very effective idea.
You can get the pattern for the circular needle organizer (regrettably only) at ravelry for free.

What a wonderful idea: to batik reasonably priced with children without getting it dangerous for the little ones she simply uses washable (school) glue!
And what children can do, I can, too.
Very often ;-)))
By the way, she uses watered down acrylic colours to colour everything in.
Great!
