Trashion fashion

Time for some trashion fashion! 

Here's a paper towel roll bracelet/toilet roll bracelet that I've made. It's easy peasy to make. My bracelet is made out of a cardboard tube, white glue, a waste cd, aluminum foil and small grey beads. You can create this kind of bracelet in some different ways. Here are some other examples: A, B, C

Flowers are happy things

The first step to better times is to imagine them

Happy New Year 2012! 

I hope the creativity will flow this new year. Let the creativity bloom like a flower garden.

 

->Here's a tiny little crocheted flower for my flower garden. My mum made it for me. I sewed it on a rib-knitted headband that I had knitted.

I don't know how to crochet flowers. There are many things I do not know. I hope I will learn a lot of things during this new year.

2012: here's a message for you.  Please, give me wisdom and creativity. I don't want any dumbness or numbness. I want some courage and will-power. I don't want any weariness or fears. Or if you insist, please let the fear at least lend me some wings.

You cannot make a revolution with silk gloves

...but perhaps you can make a revolution with lovikka gloves/mittens.

My oldest little sister loves to knit. She loves it so much that she decided to knit lovikka mittens for our cousins this x-mas.

The mittens are made of ecological wool in four different colours. You can find a pattern here.

The other day I decided to create something out of a bunch of beads, which I have had for like ages. I threaded the beads on three separate strings, and made three simple bracelets. Then I twined them all together. That's what you can see in the photos.

                                                                     

I wanted to make a pair of matching earrings. I started by painting some wooden beads with nail polish in a gold colour. (I like to paint with nail polish, because I think the colours are rich and vibrant. I have painted cards with nail polish before.)

Once the nail polish had dried, I threaded the wooden beads and some other beads on a piece of wire. I gripped the end of the wire with round tongs, and bent it to fit into the loop of a pendant. Then it was finished and looked like the earring in the photo to the left. :)

I wish you all a merry x-mas!

Making the simple, awesomely simple - that's creativity

Here's my second safety pin bracelet. My other safety pin bracelet can be found here and the tutorial here.
