Wall Vases
I find these wall vases really great – simply made from these evaporators for heaters :)

Plastic Cutlery Dragon
Isn’t this dragon from plastic cutlery wonderful?!
They say, that the dragon is completely ‘freestyle’, so no plans, blueprints or drafts.
I’m completely thrilled :)

Mardi Gras Bead Frame
At Mardi Gras in New Orleans there are special bead necklaces which can be used for a lot of things, e.g. picture frames ;-)
I’ve seen such necklaces here, too, mostly on flea markets.

Bracelet Vase
Ok, up until now I thought that you can revamp old bracelets ‘only’ with fabric, beads, collages etc.
I’d never have had the idea to make a vase from bracelets ;-)

Fabric Poppy
This most beautiful fabric poppy is made in the same way as the textile roses which I presented before.
Don’t they look great?
If you’re also a little suspicious about singing the fabric, I have more fabric flowers here ;-)

Button Rattle Baby Toy
Well, I find the button rattle baby toy for a baby a little too dangerous because of the danger of choking, but I find it beautiful as tag for a bag. Or as button jewelry ;-)

Recycled Smocked Wrist Warmers
It’s not yet really warm everywhere. You can still use a recycled wrist warmer. And much better, if you can change a boring ribbed wrist warmer in such a simple way into a nice smocked wrist warmer ;-)
By the way: this wrist warmer isn’t knitted, but sewn from an old sweater!

Beautiful Fly Screen Windows
Soon the mosquitoes and flies will come out of their hiding places and then we need fly screen windows again. But where is it written that they have to be made from uninspiring gauze? Why not simply use beautiful lace? :)

Easter Straw Frame
I find the construction of this easter straw frame interesting, not only on Easter, and I think it would look beautiful to present a collage in there.
There’s something you can do with the Easter straw after Easter ;-)
