I presented the string lamp before, I find the string bowl also really great.

A bowl from Pistachio shells!
I find the idea really great!
It can surely also be made with little sea shells or even with spices like star anise – I think ;-)
A great idea to easily make fabric tape yourself!

A great idea: if you want to mould something small, you can use hot glue for the mould!
But only veeery carefully ;-)

We all know where you wrap in glue soaked yarns around balloons to get beautiful yarn spheres.
I’ve never had the idea to make most beautiful lamps this way ;-)

I used my glue bottle rarely in the last time but before I often had the problem that I got too much glue from the bottle.
Now I found an ingenious simple solution: an instruction on how to make a fine tip for a glue bottle.
I will use this next time ;-)
I already presented the Rice Glue, here is an instruction for making flour glue.
It seems that it can be used very good for paper or cardboard and if you increase the amount of the ingredients (and add a little turpentine) it seems that you even get wallpaper glue.
What I really appreciate is, that those glues are non-toxic, that I don’t have to buy stuff to make them and that the making doesn’t seem to be too tedious.

I found a tutorial on how to make rice glue to be used with paper crafts.
I’m always glad when I find non-toxic recipes so I immediatly bookmarked this one.
For the photo I took a picture of rice but I think that Sushi rice or rice pudding rice will work better.
