Planters by topp-kreativ.de. We need to try this next spring!
Quilling by awoodennest.blogspot.com. Try spray-painting black or metallic!

Cord organizer by lifehacker.com I think I’ll make this for my desk drawer for all the USB cables for the computer: cameras, ipods…
Paper Lanterns by thecraftycrow.net. Cute decorations…maybe little messages could be written inside?
