This is an old silver necklace I had which to some point had a little ... accident. The chain broke in a couple of places. I really like the material and the gemstones though, so I decided instead of throwing it away to make two earrings out of it.<br />
<br />
I just used pliers to cut the chain, a couple of earring hooks and finally baking soda to make my new creations look like new:<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a very long time...again! Since I managed to find some free time over the past couple of weeks I decided to spend it on crafting of course :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This head band has seen more than a few summers and I don't really wear it anymore:</span></div>

Hello! I know I haven't posted anything for a very long time and I probably won't do so for a while after this post. However I couldn't resist sharing this idea. The winter solstice celebration time is near and this usually involves decorating a tree. This year instead of a star or an angel as the top ornament I thought of trying something different: a SFM ( Flying Spaghetti Monster) ornament. For those who don't know what it is:<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster" target="_blank"> Flying Spaghetti Monster</a><br />
<br />
For the meatballs and the pasta I used polymer clay. Terracotta for the meatballs and beige+translucent white for the pasta.<br />

I used some aluminum foil to give the meatballs some texture. I also used a couple of shiny eye shadows to give it a festive glow.<br />

After pre-baking the meatballs for 5 minutes I wrapped the spaghetti around them<br />
<br />

This is how it looked liked after I baked it for another 15 minutes.<br />

<br />
I used acrylic paint for the eyes and some glitter as well.<br />
<br />

For the base I used one of these cardboard egg box cones<br />
<br />

<br />
After I cut it out I painted it in egg shell color and purred white glitter over it before the paint got dry<br />
<br />

<br />
There is no better way to keep your 2.5 years old kids busy and creative on a late November afternoon than crafting their own Christmas calender with them!<br />
<br />
<br />
They started with painting on colorful sheets of craft carton. They also used recycled carton I cut out of packages. They used water colors and markers:<br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There was the classic fight over the red marker of course, which in the end nobody really used...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And I had to do some work too, like cutting the cartons and drawing the numbers (yes, our printer is broken...). And of course somebody had to cut the numbers out.. Sweetheart, remember this is family business :-P </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Then I shaped the cartons into cones and stapled the two ends together. The numbers were also stapled on the carton cones.</div>

Tight or staple some string or ribbon on them:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
You can also decorate a window with these or put them as ornaments on the Christmas tree! Ours wouldn't be much safe there so I put them on the kitchen wall where they are out of reach for the moment!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I guess we have to fill them with some goodies now :-)</div>

Last week I prepared some homemade playdough for my kids and some more for their new twin friends. I put them in jars in order to last longer in the fridge, but the result looked rather plain to me, so I decided to paint superhero logos on the lids. I also tried to make something that looks like a cape out of scrap fabric I still keep in an old shoe box..</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It has literally been years since I last posted anything on my blog! There was no time at all for me during the last couple of years for such leisure time activities, however, I finally managed to find an opportunity to concern myself with my blog and post this up-cycled bracelet tutorial.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V_Bv-s-bQwM/VGIsxmcaP1I/AAAAAAAABHc/Y-ZDjV7kyeM/s1600/IMG_9663.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V_Bv-s-bQwM/VGIsxmcaP1I/AAAAAAAABHc/Y-ZDjV7kyeM/s320/IMG_9663.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I used :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
-a gemstone bracelet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- 2 pieces of steel chain (the size of the chain parts has to match approximately the distance between the gemstones)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
- ribbon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
-embroidery threads</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
-lobster clutch (you cannot see that in the picture, sorry:-( )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After you make a knot with the ribbon containing the ends of the chains and gemstone bracelet, twist the ribbon around the bracelet, through each chain part and between the gemstones as you can see on the picture below:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KXIagUx9eQ4/VGIsd8Wi-FI/AAAAAAAABG0/aSo5RFvbhE8/s1600/DSC_0044_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KXIagUx9eQ4/VGIsd8Wi-FI/AAAAAAAABG0/aSo5RFvbhE8/s400/DSC_0044_1.jpg" width="225" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Afterwards, use the embroidery threads of your choice and make a knot on one side. Weave the threads through the chains:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I used the tutorial I found <a href="http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-woven-charm-bracelet/" target="_blank">here</a> , you can also find woven chain bracelet tutorials on youtube.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I repeated the same on the other side/chain and I made a final knot. Put on a lobster clutch and here is the result:</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Hello everyone! I guess that this is the best time of the year for people who love to craft and decorate, thus all the crafty bloggers! It took me more than I expected to finish crafting my new Xmas ornaments since I have so little free time these days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This was a pretty recent idea, that's why I made so few, I usually give the burnt out light bulbs to a specific place for recycling :-)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wasn't too sleepy last night so I started making an ornament for the top of our Christmas tree</span>. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had found this carton cone that had the remains of a golden thread on it which must have been one of my grandmothers</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">sewing materials.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I kept the thread for hanging the rest of the ornaments I'm about to make (yes, I will make a post about them :-)), and glued some scrap fabrics I had on the cone. (I'm sorry about the lack of pictures here but it was pretty late...)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had to find a fancy head for my angel though, so I thought that a beer cap would do:</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> It was too late to come with a better idea than wings out of paper, so..I made this awful drawings and tried to fix it while cutting it out... I know I can do better :</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Glued the pieces together and with a stapler Ι attached the wings on the cone. I used a big paperclip that I bent into a halo:</span><br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B1jmvbSXHns/UJPW1fMnXAI/AAAAAAAAA50/lcIqGWYx63o/s1600/IMG_8058.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B1jmvbSXHns/UJPW1fMnXAI/AAAAAAAAA50/lcIqGWYx63o/s320/IMG_8058.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Have you ever heard of <a href="https://sugru.com/" target="_blank">sugru</a>? It is a relatively new material, a self-setting rubber for fixing and improving stuff. I didn't know about it either, but then my husband ordered it over the internet and I kept making fun of him and how he's going to fix everything with it until I used it myself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> You can do a lot of things with it, for a start I decided to fix my favorite sunglasses I broke beyond repair a couple of months ago:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xchFGeEGFSs/UJPRrDEa8UI/AAAAAAAAA40/FVRYilh3xgo/s1600/IMG_8009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xchFGeEGFSs/UJPRrDEa8UI/AAAAAAAAA40/FVRYilh3xgo/s320/IMG_8009.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I took a little piece of sugru and formed it into a ball the size of a pea, then used it to connect the pieces of the broken arm together:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mRWTwZs6tVE/UJPSVGOwaCI/AAAAAAAAA48/9w_fYYEbk1k/s1600/IMG_8010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mRWTwZs6tVE/UJPSVGOwaCI/AAAAAAAAA48/9w_fYYEbk1k/s320/IMG_8010.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I let it hanging like this to dry for 24 hours and since it was not so stable I repeated the step adding some more sugru :</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> After 24 hours I decorated the fix with a ball of sugru that I flattened over the side of the connection. I made the pattern using the back of a paintbrush:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wJGzg9M7j1Y/UJPWmjd1W2I/AAAAAAAAA5s/6N9MQ_UL_GY/s1600/IMG_8051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wJGzg9M7j1Y/UJPWmjd1W2I/AAAAAAAAA5s/6N9MQ_UL_GY/s400/IMG_8051.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> And in the end I added a little strass:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z9y6wOD2j48/UJPXdlmq-iI/AAAAAAAAA58/dgbjqdU732g/s1600/IMG_8067.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z9y6wOD2j48/UJPXdlmq-iI/AAAAAAAAA58/dgbjqdU732g/s400/IMG_8067.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Remember: you have to press the gem stone hard into the sugru mass so it doesn't fall of. Mine did :-))</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So, what did you fix lately? I'd like to hear about your repairs!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Although the summer is officially over, our vacation starts this Thursday and I'm really excited about it! While preparing my stuff I found this pair of lousy flip flops that came along as a bonus with a fashion magazine I bought on my vacation last year. But I couldn't wear them cause the stripes were not stable. They looked like this:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YpUzWJt-vmg/UETql4bIBgI/AAAAAAAAAyM/sTeGtYOHNms/s1600/IMG_7710.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YpUzWJt-vmg/UETql4bIBgI/AAAAAAAAAyM/sTeGtYOHNms/s320/IMG_7710.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I cut off the stripes so only the bases were left:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eDSDhuNFmLs/UETrUuLYcRI/AAAAAAAAAyc/dgQItaATFRo/s1600/IMG_7711.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eDSDhuNFmLs/UETrUuLYcRI/AAAAAAAAAyc/dgQItaATFRo/s320/IMG_7711.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And then I thought of using tire ups as stripes just like this:</span><br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> These are the steps:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They finally looked like this:</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But the tire ups are too hard to wear and also ugly, so I used a silver string I had to invest it. This method is called the cobra stitch and you can find it <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr2DE985MLc&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">here</a>:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> It's definitely been a long time since my last post.That's because I have been busy with my two sweet newborns, but there always has to be time for a little creativity or I will go mad I guess... ;-) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> So, here are my old ferrum tablets</span>, <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love the color :</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I cut around the pills in a heart shape:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> It's already hot enough and one of my favorite snacks this time of the year and of course mostly this year are mini ice creams on a stick </span>:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lpyO1RlwBrU/T7-giwMlyFI/AAAAAAAAAms/W1AAGS5mM-g/s1600/IMG_6921.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lpyO1RlwBrU/T7-giwMlyFI/AAAAAAAAAms/W1AAGS5mM-g/s320/IMG_6921.JPG" width="180" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After eating a whole box of these, I collected the mini sticks and cleaned them:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KZxjxaSynlE/T7-hCFf1ZYI/AAAAAAAAAm0/QzSuovgHKTY/s1600/IMG_6919.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KZxjxaSynlE/T7-hCFf1ZYI/AAAAAAAAAm0/QzSuovgHKTY/s320/IMG_6919.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, I thought to make a summer bracelet out of them. In order to connect them to each other I made 6 little holes on each using a thick needle, like this:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MN1fw_1La_U/T7-iv0EtA9I/AAAAAAAAAm8/9y_mmFCnlZs/s1600/IMG_6920.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MN1fw_1La_U/T7-iv0EtA9I/AAAAAAAAAm8/9y_mmFCnlZs/s320/IMG_6920.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Make the holes on the same level on each stick, so when you put them all together side by side the holes form three rows</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then I started painting the sticks with nail polish. You can use acrylic paint of course if you like. It will probably last longer ;-)</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OW_DwiQX8bg/T7-jYruFZTI/AAAAAAAAAnE/ZxS9C3RwPx0/s1600/IMG_6937.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OW_DwiQX8bg/T7-jYruFZTI/AAAAAAAAAnE/ZxS9C3RwPx0/s320/IMG_6937.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Choose your favorite colors, I prefer different shades of red and pink:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HsWlnaPwofE/T7-kHdKwaJI/AAAAAAAAAnM/tuwQjFXAhOs/s1600/IMG_6938.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HsWlnaPwofE/T7-kHdKwaJI/AAAAAAAAAnM/tuwQjFXAhOs/s320/IMG_6938.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And some silver to add a bit of glamor...</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rr0VTPEzcpQ/T7-kMAFo63I/AAAAAAAAAnU/YpVSQEn8A80/s1600/IMG_6942.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rr0VTPEzcpQ/T7-kMAFo63I/AAAAAAAAAnU/YpVSQEn8A80/s320/IMG_6942.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now you will need some thread and a thin needle to start connecting the sticks. Better start from the middle row of holes:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Make a thick knot and start passing your needle through the holes like on the picture above and below:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ia3qICIorL4/T7-lL67qEEI/AAAAAAAAAns/sTq3BWmWLL0/s1600/IMG_6945.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ia3qICIorL4/T7-lL67qEEI/AAAAAAAAAns/sTq3BWmWLL0/s320/IMG_6945.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After I finished with the middle row I sewed the rows on the edges in the same fashion and at the end of each row I made a multiple thick knot. So I finally had this:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y-x74Ww9TO4/T7-lQjV8ZbI/AAAAAAAAAn0/MvUKKg2n_Yo/s1600/IMG_6946.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y-x74Ww9TO4/T7-lQjV8ZbI/AAAAAAAAAn0/MvUKKg2n_Yo/s320/IMG_6946.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You need some material to make the clasp of the bracelet now. I used these :</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I attached couple of little rings and the hook on one side:</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since carrying twins during the 36th week of pregnancy isn't the easiest and most pleasant thing in the world, I am at home most of the time laying on the couch and surfing on the Internet, so basically doing nothing :-) Occasionally I manage to become a little crafty like today that I made this gift box out of garbage as usual:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You will need a package of cream cheese like this one:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Some gift wrapping paper (I always keep the paper of the gifts I receive..) :</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cut two circular pieces the size of the box and two long stripes so that they fit on top- bottom and around the box</span> :<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since I really appreciate other people's tutorials, I decided to start making my own. This is an idea I had couple of days ago, when I was making polymer clay miniature buttons for baby bibs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> So, let's start!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hZzkFn6PWLY/T6kCfJMKfcI/AAAAAAAAAiI/hrZCx0WhHFU/s1600/IMG_6866.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hZzkFn6PWLY/T6kCfJMKfcI/AAAAAAAAAiI/hrZCx0WhHFU/s320/IMG_6866.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> You'll need : polymer clay in colors: tan, translucent white, red, terracotta, green, black, brown, yellow, white, liquid polymer clay and pastels for the coloring.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Start with a piece of tan clay:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JMbp9AZBDU0/T6j2Fw4BKdI/AAAAAAAAAdY/lFv2GnVBlvM/s1600/IMG_6815.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JMbp9AZBDU0/T6j2Fw4BKdI/AAAAAAAAAdY/lFv2GnVBlvM/s320/IMG_6815.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Roll it using something like a small rolling pin</span> (<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I used a pen) :</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zxtiq2tiL5k/T6j2ZJ9tZ0I/AAAAAAAAAdg/IcWCtRlBauw/s1600/IMG_6816.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zxtiq2tiL5k/T6j2ZJ9tZ0I/AAAAAAAAAdg/IcWCtRlBauw/s320/IMG_6816.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then cut off a circular piece, you can use a lid like I did:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5kLestMBIMg/T6j2usG7tuI/AAAAAAAAAdo/tu5CODt5fv4/s1600/IMG_6817.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5kLestMBIMg/T6j2usG7tuI/AAAAAAAAAdo/tu5CODt5fv4/s320/IMG_6817.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Roll the remain of the clay into a little snake and adjust it around the basic circular piece (in order to do that I used the back of a brush) :</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JhgKnqZ4YSI/T6j3RLoC-UI/AAAAAAAAAd4/9_uWdphjLko/s1600/IMG_6819.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JhgKnqZ4YSI/T6j3RLoC-UI/AAAAAAAAAd4/9_uWdphjLko/s320/IMG_6819.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With a brush and pastels in brown, orange and yellow color the dough so it looks baked:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mix the materials with a toothpick :</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> and spread on the dough like this:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6jXsRK-Axjc/T6j6AhpurDI/AAAAAAAAAfA/AddM1Mwq54s/s1600/IMG_6838.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6jXsRK-Axjc/T6j6AhpurDI/AAAAAAAAAfA/AddM1Mwq54s/s320/IMG_6838.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> For the cheese you will need light yellow ( you can mix yellow and white to obtain this) and translucent clay:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cj_YExBYZxw/T6j6hG2DKZI/AAAAAAAAAfI/3Dlf68xp2HQ/s1600/IMG_6839.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cj_YExBYZxw/T6j6hG2DKZI/AAAAAAAAAfI/3Dlf68xp2HQ/s320/IMG_6839.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After you mix them together you roll the clay so you have a very thin layer of cheese:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--1IUTxLserY/T6j6lRiEx1I/AAAAAAAAAfQ/sOizMRUfwII/s1600/IMG_6840.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--1IUTxLserY/T6j6lRiEx1I/AAAAAAAAAfQ/sOizMRUfwII/s320/IMG_6840.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cut off a circular piece a little smaller in diameter than the inner circle of the pizza dough:</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Adjust the edges with the back of your brush or any blunt tool</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">so that the cheese looks melted:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Roll a thin snake of translucent clay to make the salami fat and put the pieces through the holes using your needle :</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then you squeeze the cylinder and roll it into a thinner snake:</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Place them on your pizza- you cannot really see the salami fat here so I had to add little pieces of translucent clay later:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For the olives mix black and brown clay, roll it into a very thin snake:</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With your needle make a hole in the middle of every piece so it looks like a piece of olive when you place it on the pizza:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bake it in your oven following the instructions on the package of the polymer clay you use:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> A day after the Greek elections and it feels like nothing has changed ( probably hasn't )</span>. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, I keep on preparing stuff for my little expected ones</span>. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have to admit I saw the idea somewhere else and that mine are not that good</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But who cares;-)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I started with a couple of old t-shirts </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Cut them into a long stripe of approximately </span>0,5cm<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> width </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And then I knit them...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I have been waiting for the maternal instinct to overwhelm me, but nothing happened (;-)) so far, so I tried to do something about it, create something for my expected little ones!</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since I have gathered a lot of clothes I don't wear anymore, I decided to use them :</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YuETL3ZB8Y4/T50mt2H0lEI/AAAAAAAAAZM/JjzV1K0mbBg/s1600/IMG_6663.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YuETL3ZB8Y4/T50mt2H0lEI/AAAAAAAAAZM/JjzV1K0mbBg/s320/IMG_6663.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I started by making this pattern using a pencil, 2 A4 paper sheets glued together and a pair of scissors. A pattern for the body, the ears and tail :</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-elCNoAaMejE/T50o2QzmiEI/AAAAAAAAAZU/513k5YWhAfs/s1600/IMG_6679.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-elCNoAaMejE/T50o2QzmiEI/AAAAAAAAAZU/513k5YWhAfs/s320/IMG_6679.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Drawing the pattern on the trousers...:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XDYDxc2BS2c/T50qeEokXWI/AAAAAAAAAZc/9llLE4cyMlw/s1600/IMG_6680.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XDYDxc2BS2c/T50qeEokXWI/AAAAAAAAAZc/9llLE4cyMlw/s320/IMG_6680.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cut the double fabric and then sewed it together:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Same with the ears, I used the fabric of the inner pockets of the trousers:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And the result after stuffing them with glass wool parts and sewing... :</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I also stuffed the body with glass wool and then sewed the ears on it:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Hi there, I'm back again. Our new house is almost ready now, one of the last things I needed was a lamp for the living room. And now I have it!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> The idea was to make one out of green wine/oil/vinegar/water bottles.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I had a hard time cutting off the bottoms of the bottles. I followed this tutorial I found : </span><br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFXngPx3w3M">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFXngPx3w3M</a> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">but it was still difficult to achieve because I didn't actually have the right tool, only a cheap one, so I improvised using a clamp:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Sand paper was used to smoothen the not so perfect edges</span> :<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The reason I delayed this project for so long is that I couldn't find the red cable I wanted for the lamp. I looked in every shop and on line too but the search was unfruitful. I came to the conclusion that there must be a red cable conspiracy theory but after googling this nothing came up ;-) So I took an extension cable we had at home:</span><br />
