Why not take some pants to pieces between Christmas and New Year (or even somewhen else ;-)) and crochet a bowl from it? ;-)

Ugly Christmas Sweater Parties
What to do with the ugly Christmas sweaters you may still have?
Quite simple: you make them still more kitschy and then a party where the ugliest will be awarded ;-))
Origami Bow
If you wrap a gift it must look nice. How about such an Origami bow as decoration? They can surely easily be made from coloured adverts, too ;-)
Knitted Christmas Tree
This Christmas tree really impressed me: a lot of people knitted in total more than 2000 simple green leaves which form the tree.
After Christmas the tree will be dismantled and the leaves will be sewn together to make blankets for elderly people.
That’s what I call recycling ;-)

Spiral Binding Wreath
I can’t throw away anything – but as I see it, I don’t have to, because you can make something from everything, like little ornaments from the Spiral binding of a used notebook ;-))

Aluminum Gift Box
I like this little gift box very much!
It’s also much more sturdy and durable than a ‘normal’ gift wrap :)

Snowflake Table Runner
I recently published an entry to the subject of: What c.a.n we do with lace (doilies)?, I like the idea to make a winter table runner also very much :)
