Just Mosaics: Hexagonal tray
We would love to say that the design for this tray was well-planned because of our excellent understanding of, and foresight into, geometry. However, it was a complete fluke. Somewhere in the deep recesses of our minds, we remembered something about a mathematical compass and half circles, so we just started experimenting – and were pleasantly surprised at the results.
The outline of the design was completed first, using ceramic tiles cut into small rectangles. Once that was done, we decided which sections should be green and which ones should be cream.

Classy Glass Art: Sweet bowl
This fun project was designed by Margie du Toit from East London, who has kindly given us permission to include it in our book. It’s great for practising cutting circles. A series of circles is made and assembled, with glass gems between the circles, creating something different on your table.

Scrapbooking back to basics: Paper cutting
This is where our decoupage background began to shine through. It’s very difficult to view a piece of paper full of interesting designs and not be tempted to reach for your craft knife when you’ve spent many years cutting up designs and pictures. Includes 4 page layouts and basic steps to creating a page.

Net mosaïek: ’n Bord vol rissies
Ons het oorspronklik hierdie rissieversierings gekoop vir ’n projek in ons eerste boek, maar het dit nooit gebruik nie. Ons het geweet dat dit iewers in ons laaie was, maar dit was ’n ander storie om dit op te spoor.
Twee dae later het ons daarop afgekom nadat ons die hele handwerkkas deursoek het. Ons het ook goed ontdek waarvan ons lankal vergeet het (en ’n paar waarvan ons eerder sou wou vergeet!). Ons het vir ons ’n jenewer en tonikum geskink, gesels oor die beste manier om geïrriteerde tieners te hanteer en ons projek beplan.

Plakboekplanne: Hugs & kisses
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.

Scrapbooking back to basics: Journalling
Journalling is an extremely important part of scrapbooking. Sometimes a title can say it all and not much else is necessary, but remember that you’re creating something to be passed on to future generations. This, in fact, is the whole point of scrapbooking. Includes 3 page layouts and basic steps to creating a page.

Buttons, felt & beads: Cupcakes
These cupcakes are an absolute treat to make. Use them as pincushions, to decorate your work area or kitchen, gift them to a friend with a penchant for cupcakes, or simply make them because they are fun!

Fresh crochet – T-yarn basket
Use this versatile basket to store toys, for your crochet yarn, as a portable laundry basket, or to keep your favourite magazines handy. Use a single colour for a more classic finish, or several bright colours for a happy, playful look. You can also work the basket in double crochet only – simply replace the spike stitch with double crochet. The size of the basket will depend on the weight of the T-yarn used. Heavy yarn, or two strands of a lighter yarn, will make a basket with a base of about 38cm in diameter, approximately 30cm high.

Buttons, felt & beads: Highly strung
This rope-tight necklace is another one of my favourites and again, is super-quick and easy to make. Choose a colour that will work well with the majority of your wardrobe because this accessory will complement any outfit.
If you happen to have, or ever come across, a big bag of white buttons – you’ve hit the jackpot. In large quantities, it will be worth your while to have these buttons dyed professionally, in any colour your heart desires! You’ll also then have a lovely, almost-never-ending stockpile of buttons with which to make as many of these necklaces as you can manage (trust me, you are going to want to).

Mosaics decorative ideas – Coat hanger
This basic design is made even easier by the fact that the embellishments are placed on top of the tiles.

Rain Soapmaking: Rescue soap
This soap has great properties for problem skin owing to its carefully selected oils, which don’t exacerbate the oiliness of acne, but bring healing, antibacterial, protective properties. It makes roughly a 1kg batch, perfect for home use, made with domestic equipment. Complete step-by-step instruction along with a basic soap recipe are included for easy reference.

Knope, vilt & krale: Gehekelde halssnoer
Ek is baie lief vir hekel, al moet ek erken ek is nie baie knap daarmee nie! As ek, met my uiters beperkte hekelvaardighede, dus hierdie halssnoer kan maak, kan jy dit ook doen. Ek het die basiese beginsels van hekel reeds verduidelik – raadpleeg dit gerus as hekel vir jou iets nuuts is. Nadat ek allerhande vasmakers vir hierdie halssnoer beproef het, het ek besef krimpkrale en ’n knip werk die beste. Ek is seker mense wat goed kan hekel, kan ’n baie beter manier vind om dit te doen deur net ’n knoop te gebruik.

Mal oor metaal: Skryfbehoeftestapel
Vir hierdie projek het ek in die vullis rondgekrap. Ek wou iets gebruik wat almal het en het dus op blikkies besluit. As jy blikkies gebruik, is dit boonop ekologies vriendelik!

More Jewellery in a Jiffy: Earrings with 4 balls
I made all these balls with 12 crystals, but used round crystals for the top one, and bicones for the rest. I just love the tiny ones. Try making several and linking them for a choker or bracelet that everyone will want.
