These SupaWood light-switch covers, which I found at an art shop, are perfect for small mosaics. Relatively effective mosaics can be made with relatively little expense. By using tinfoil or printed papers as a background, the illusion of a complicated and expensive mosaic can be created.

Mal oor metaal: Skoenlapperbewer
Ek is mal daaroor om mooi goed te maak en het hierdie idee gekry nadat ek 'n soortgelyke bewer gesien het wat van papier gemaak is. Ek het besluit om wit handwerkmetaal vir 'n ligte, speelse voorkoms te gebruik, maar as jy helder metale hiermee kombineer of spatsels kleur byvoeg, sal dit ook pragtig lyk. Dieselfde idee en aanwysings kan gebruik word om verskeie bewers van blare, blomme of sterre te maak.

Blomme eenvoudig pragtig: Gestileerde fynbos
Fynbos is amper die laaste blomme wat ’n mens verwag in hierdie houer wat ’n bietjie soos ’n versierde hoededoos lyk, maar die kombinasie werk eintlik baie goed. Wees avontuurlustig wanneer jy houers en plante kombineer, en verras jouself.

Net mosaïek: Mini-laaikas
Dit is beslis ons gunstelingprojek omdat dit soveel pret was om te maak. Ons het dit baie geniet omdat elke laaitjie verskil – ons kon dus baie kreatief wees en met die plasing van die versierings speel. Die laaie kan ook omgeruil word om die voorkoms van die laaikas subtiel te verander.
Ons wou dit eers swart verf, maar het besluit om dit ’n vars voorkoms te gee en het dit dus eerder wit geverf. As jy egter ’n dramatiese gevoel wil skep, verf dit swart.

Fabric Decoupage: Lampshade with beach house motif
Fabric decoupage makes it easy to give new life to old lampshades. Decorate your lampshade
to match the interior design of a specific corner or room, or use it as a focal point. Choose a sturdy lampshade, the frame of which is in good condition. The original colour of the lampshade will affect the final look – bear this in mind if you want to use lace or lightcoloured fabric.

Here again is the beautiful human body, shaped as a receptacle hold-ing life, the spine curving at the end to balance with the soft round curves. I had originally painted this design onto fabric to create a cushion for my lounge and then the usual happened … I thought, “I wonder what that design will look like in pewter?”

Buttons, felt & beads: Bigger better
And much, much easier! In fact, this chunky necklace is so easy to make, we didn’t really have to take any step-by-step photographs to show you how to make it! The only difficulty you might possibly encounter when making this necklace is in finding enough large, rounded buttons with which to make it. If this is a problem, use smaller buttons around the back and neck area, keeping the large ones for the front.

Nuwe vintage: Bottels vir blomme
Ek het oor die jare al 'n menigte bottels en vase bymekaargemaak. Ek is lief daarvoor om dit in groepe uit te stal met net een blom in elkeen. 'n Mens stamp egter die bottels maklik om omdat dit so klein is of een spesifieke vaas raak weg. Ek het dus 'n manier uitgedink om hulle bymekaar te hou...

Plakboekplanne: Yum let’s eat!
Die klem val in hierdie boek op die uitlegplanne, daarom het ons besluit om geen foto’s in die uitlegte te gebruik nie. Ons gee ook nie enige produkspesifikasies nie, sodat jy self kan sien dat jy enige tema, kleur papier en verfraaiings kan gebruik.
Elke uitlegplan is noukeurig ontwerp om die grootste moontlike veelsydigheid te bied. Deur die bladsye om te ruil of een of albei te roteer, kan jy met elke dubbelbladuitlegplan tot 64 verskillende kombinasies vorm. Dit staan jou ook vry om verskillende uitlegplanne te kombineer, en dan is die moontlikhede regtig eindeloos.
Die twee uitlegte op die oorkanste bladsy is albei met dieselfde uitlegplan gemaak, tog het elk sy unieke voorkoms en gevoel.

Boxes Galore: Spiral origami box
This exquisite piece isn’t really a box but rather a small container. I came across the idea on a website containing a considerable number of origami folding techniques. It is called a ten-sided yin-yang spiral. If you have trouble making this interesting container, please consult YouTube by typing the following information in the search section: “ten-sided Yin-Yang globe assembly”.
It really is a container with a difference, and it’s fun to make. You can use many different colours, only two colours or even just one. If you use soft pink and white, for example, it can look beautiful used for wedding favours.

Boxes Galore: Hexagonal flower box
This box is very easy to make, since little measuring is required. You simply have to copy the template and do a bit of pasting. Since the design is very simple, you can use stunning paper. If you use plain paper, the box can be decorated with ribbon or other embellishments after it has been folded. The template can be enlarged or reduced. The box that I made is twice the size of the template. It is easy to enlarge the template when you photocopy it. You can also scan it, and reduce or enlarge on your computer.
