Wow! Make a gorgeous clutch from a plastic bottle and fabric. I love the use of recycled denim, but I have a soft spot for upcycled jeans. The tutorial is in Croatian and isn’t the most clear for all steps, but you get the gist and if need be, you can always google how to make the cover.

Gorgeous lace and ribbon storage from toilet paper rolls. I wonder how many of these I can fit into the vintage suitcase I use to store my piles and tangles of lace and trim.
