so I started the box one and then realized I had no clear packing tape...lol. Have to finish it tomorrow :)

[bobwilson123]

@ladyocti1 Oh no !!!!!  I hate it when that happens or when you run out of tape mid project ! I just made another tutorial...will be a few days until it is uploaded :O)

[animeluver4755]

awesome thank you sooooo much for these tutorials and ideas

[bobwilson123]

@animeluver4755 Your Welcome !

[animeluver4755]

this is such a great idea! i love love love it!! thank you so much! i'm already working on crocheting plastic bags and turning them into cozies for soda cans and water bottles. they work great and i'm always asked where i got.. pretty cool to say that i made it and recycled as well. i want to try these projects and give them as gifts. just need the sticky tape first. i have a bunch of magazines i don't read anymore. we don't get the newspaper so any ideas on other materials? phone books?

[bobwilson123]

@animeluver4755 Sure why not ! I was eyeing of an old phone book the other day and thought...hmmm most of you wont make it to the bin ! HAHAHA. Wrapping paper or coloured paper would work to .. Old manuals? Music books..Coloring books...

Pencil box or case

Yehhh, it is a great idea, indeed. Thanks to U I got inspired, fiddled with the projects and created very colourful file and pencil cases. I've also managed to work out a method allowing me to fasten ribbons onto the projects in a very neat way . Once again - thanks a lot for the inspiration;)) -  You are great!

Make a pen/pencil holder for your desktop.
