I find this idea so great: a quick sketch and then simply stitch it ;-))
Amazing! ;-))

Cut Cardboard Tealight
Doesn’t the tealight look most beautiful?
She‘s been cautious and inserted an electric tealight, if you’re very cautious, you can possibly even use a real one.
By the way, if you want to cut such a tealight yourself, my online cone calculator could possibly be helpful ;-))

Crocheted Fiber Beads Necklace
Actually it’s rather easy to make this necklace: you crochet with big beads und wrap afterwards interesting yarns around.
If you like you can add some extra fringes.
I like the necklace very much indeed :)
Paper Leaves Wreath
I don’t really like door wreaths, but even though I won’t make it and hang it on my door I find the paper leaves wreath somehow beautiful :)
It was made originally for Christmas, but I think that it could as well be a spring or summer wreath with green paper or an autumn wreath with paper in brown, red and yellow.
And with papers like those for the place mat it looks presumably great the whole year long :))

Random Knitting Chart Generator
As said before I looked recently for pattern generators and found also the random knitting chart generator.
I find this idea so great, somewhen I must knit this pattern ;-)
For the lace pattern on the picture I checked knit, purl, knit two together and yarn over, I didn’t check mirrored.
By the way I learned about this through the Ravelry group ‘Random Pattern Generators’, they found my generators also great ;-))

CDSea
A good friend sent me the link to the entry about ‘CDSea’ (thanks, Brigitte!) and I found it great!
That may give you an idea about what to do with old CD’s ;-))

Plaster of Paris Beads
Cute, isn’t?
A great idea to simply colour in plaster of Paris and to cast it in ice cube moulds to get funny plaster of Paris beads.
The jewelry you get this way is more durable but not as refreshing as the ice jewelry ;-)
And if you nevertheless prefer to crochet you don’t have to colour in your plaster beads but can instead wrap them in crochet ;-))

Crazy Lace Cardigan
Amazing! A tutorial or rather a recipe on how to make a cardigan (or another piece of clothing) where you don’t have to sew and that particularly can’t get boring because you change the pattern every couple of inches following your own gusto – Crazy Lace.
I really consider trying it ;-))
But then I’d prefer The Incredible, Custom-fit Raglan Sweater as base.

Paper Rolls Wall Art
If you haven’t decorated your walls already with the yarn wall art you may want to try the paper rolls wall art ;-)
And if it’s not quite your cup of tea, you can make from your toilet paper rolls e.g. simple napkin holders, a cord holder, recycled gift tags and/or a hairpin lace loom ;-))

Fabric Inchie Collage
I told before how you can make matching, but not equal paper inchies*.
Here she shows how to make wondeful fabric inchies.
It must be a lot of fun.
* What is an inchie? An Inchie is a 1″ square of art. They are made from paper or fabric and then embellished in innumerable ways (see links below).
