Wrapping tutorial 1

Nothing as fun as giving a beautiful present to your friends on their birthday.
I bet everyone agrees with me that giving a nicely wrapped present is much more fun than giving one which is wrapped quickly, ugly and in stupid cheap-looking wrapping paper.

So, from now on, whenever they ask you if it's a present, say you want to wrap it yourself!
It's ever so easy.

Here's idea one of how to wrap your present nicely:





See! It can be that easy, and it doesn't have to cost too much.
I've bought cheap but glamourous looking golden wrapping paper. From a huge pile of ribbons, i've chosen this white lace ribbon. The fake flowers are bought in some cheap 'i-have-got-everything-store'. Only €2,50 for a whole bouquet! And there are lots and lots of flowers to take off which you can use for your present.

Shoestraps

Why have I ever bought pumps? I guess because I like to wear high heels, but in fact, they walk terribly. With warm weather, my swollen feet start to appear red marks along the seams, like the shoes are a size too small. And whenever it's colder, the pump slips off because my feet aren't swollen at all. At those moments, I wish I had bought pumps with straps around the instep which will avoid my feet from sliding out.

Bingo.
I'll just seam those straps myself!
And so I did..



I've fastened one self-made flower to one of the straps, just with a bobby pin, so I can also take it off. My apologies for my terribly looking legs. I must have been more careful while driving my moped..
Now I'm still looking for navy-blue coloured elastic band, so I can also make straps for my blue pumps. Then I'll finally be able to wear them with comfort! Really, those straps are so extremely comfortable!

To kill two birds with one stone

Simple but effective.

What do you need?
- Empty soda cans, preferably found along the road
- Wild flowers
- Paint spray leftovers

What a bit of paint spray can do to a soda can. I've killed two birds with one stone.
1. It didn't cost me anything.
2. I cleaned up the world a bit by using these cans which I found along the road.

If everyone made such vases, the world would be clean by now.
