\nOnce I’ve seen a fashion photo<\/a> where I’ve been really impressed by the garment.
\nRecently, when I drank my apple juice, I thought: ‘Yes, that’s the right material in the right colour for this!’<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

Therefore I figured out how to make it.<\/p>\n

And that’s what you do:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

First cut the (washed! ;-)) beverage carton in pieces and, if you like, you can arrange the pieces in a pattern that suits you best (best done on a stiff pad, then you can carry it away carefully, if necessary).<\/p>\n

I cut my pieces just as I liked to (there is another garment<\/a>), but regular shapes, square e.g. are not bad either. They were used in yet another garment<\/a> (here a detail photo<\/a>).<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"\" I didn’t arrange anything and on this photo I’m checking whether the piece fits at this place.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"\" Subsequently prick holes into the cardboard. Try to get a regular spacing between the holes.<\/p>\n

Please note that the holes may not be placed too closely to the edge!
\nI had to throw away some of my snippets because the thread ripped the hole.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"\" That’s how my snippet looked like after the piercing from both sides.
\nThe cardboard has a nice silver coloured internal coating which makes also the backside look good.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"\" Afterwards I took my pierced snippet and surrounded it using a tapestry needle with button hole stitches<\/a> with cotton thread.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"\" The surrounding is finished.<\/p>\n

I worked quite loosely to 1. get on easier with the crochet (see next step<\/a>) and 2. keep my snippet in shape.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"\" Afterwards I crocheted single crochet stitches<\/a><\/del> single crochet stitches<\/a> around the surrounding thread with the same thread.
\nMostly I crocheted 2 single crochet stitches, sometimes even 3.
\nAt the corners I crocheted 1 to 2 chain stitches<\/a><\/del> chain stitches<\/a> between the single crochets.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"\" I then worked chains<\/a><\/del> chains<\/a> of about 5 stitches into the single crochets.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"\" I joined the chains<\/a><\/del> chains<\/a> with the chains of the already finished item immediately when crocheting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"\" That’s what I’ve done until now.
\nI can imagine making a sommer vest<\/a> from it, a belt or the top flap of a cute purse.
\nBut I haven’t decided yet ;-))<\/p>\n
