<p>This is not for hanging spools in the common way, but spools that help hanging something else: <a href="http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2009/08/vintage_spool_peg_rack.html?CMP=OTC-5JF307375954">vintage spool peg rack tutorial</a>, by<a href="http://scrumdillydo.blogspot.com/"> Jessica Wilson</a> on <a href="http://blog.craftzine.com/">Craft</a>.<br />
You will need:</p>
<ul>
<li>wooden spools, but also nice plastic ones are ok, for a different look</li>
<li> a plaque to attach the spools to, wood is probably easier to work with, but any other paintable and screw-able material is ok</li>
<li>screws to hang the spools, they must be a little longer than the spools and appropriate for the material you&#8217;re using (wood is different from metal)</li>
<li> screwdriver</li>
<li> pencil, to make signs</li>
<li> picture hanger, or a soda can pull tab (great idea)</li>
<li> a strong glue</li>
<li> colour paint or decoupage paper to cover the plaque and the spools, if you like</li>
</ul>

<p>Ho portato fino allo sfinimento (anzi al laceramento) una sciarpa molto simile a quella del <a href="http://pretty-ditty.blogspot.com/2009/07/simple-fabric-scarfshawl-tutorial.html">tutorial di Pretty Ditty</a>: la mia era nera e con gli stessi puccettosi piccoli pompon incapsulati nella texture del tessuto. Per farla serve una stoffa di cotone a trama larga o comunque leggera, del filo da ricamo (opzionale, per fare un decoro che per esempio la mia non aveva), dei piccoli pompon che si comprano già pronti in bustine, ago, filo e pazienza. <a href="http://pretty-ditty.blogspot.com/2009/07/simple-fabric-scarfshawl-tutorial.html">Ecco le istruzioni</a> (in inglese) corredate da esplicative fotografie.</p>

<p>Un modo ricicloso per decorare i pacchetti regalo: fabbricarsi le proprie coccarde di carta. È molto semplice con il <a href="http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2009/10/make-gift-bow-from-magazine-page.html">tutorial di How About Orange</a> (in inglese, ma comprensibile anche guardando le sole foto): servono solo ritagli di carta (di giornale, di riviste, di mappe, di libri, di mille altre cose), un po&#8217; di colla o di nastro biadesivo e/o una spillatrice, e un paio di forbici per dei bordi netti, altrimenti nemmeno quelle (la carta di può strappare anche a mano!).</p>
<p><strong>Variante uno</strong>: al posto di colla/biadesivo/spillatrice si possono utilizzare dei <a href="http://www.google.it/images?hl=it&amp;rlz=1B3GGGL_itIT261IT262&amp;q=fermacampioni&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;source=og&amp;sa=N&amp;tab=wi">fermacampioni</a>, come nel <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=247280.0">tutorial di Miss American Pie su Craftster</a>.<br />
<strong><br />
Variante due</strong>: al posto della carta si può utilizzare <a href="http://www.google.it/images?um=1&amp;hl=it&amp;rlz=1B3GGGL_itIT261IT262&amp;tbs=isch%3A1&amp;sa=1&amp;q=nastro+da+regalo&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=&amp;aql=&amp;oq=&amp;gs_rfai=">nastro da regalo</a>, magari quello più largo per cominciare.  Se poi avanza nastro, tempo e pazienza, si può anche fare <a href="http://www.ciaocimba.com/2008/09/21/stella-stelassa-come-fare/">una stella con nastro</a>.</p>
<p>Menzione d&#8217;onore a chi utilizza carta di recupero (uguale o a contrasto con quella utilizzata per la coccarda) anche per incartare il regalo. Primo premio per chi ricicla pure il regalo! ;)</p>

<p>È primavera, spuntano i fiori. Non sono un&#8217;appassionata di fiori recisi, ma ammetto che qualche fiore in un vaso è una festa per gli occhi. Se in casa hai solo brutti vasi o non ne hai affatto, puoi riciclare barattoli di alluminio e contenitori di vetro facendogli un bel vestitino all&#8217;uncinetto. La realizzazione è alla portata di tutti, dalle magliste esordienti a quelle incallite.</p>
<p>Se hai appena imparato a tenere l&#8217;uncinetto in mano, puoi cominciare con la versione più semplice: fai una catenella lunga quanto il diametro del contenitore da rivestire, chiudila in tondo con una maglia bassissima e poi lavora in tondo con maglie basse o maglie alte/altissime, andando avanti fino a raggiungere l&#8217;altezza desiderata (che non deve essere necessariamente quanto l&#8217;altezza del contenitore!).</p>
<p>Se invece vuoi provare qualcosa di più elaborato, puoi lanciarti sul filet o i punti a maglie aperte, come ha fatto <a title="freshlyfound" href="http://www.flickr.com/people/freshlyfound/">freshlyfound</a> con i poetici barattoli di vetro nella foto.</p>

<p>La scelta del filo con cui lavorare influenza il risultato finale: i filati più sottili sono adatti per lavorazioni più elaborate e ricche di dettagli, mentre i filati più grossi vanno bene anche per le principianti e per l&#8217;utilizzo dei punti base, per una lavorazione compatta. La scelta non è limitata a lana, cotone o acrilico, ma può estendersi ai materiali più diversi: plastica riciclata dalle buste della spesa, jersey dalle tshirts, spago, eccetera.</p>

<p>Il <a href="http://www.mylifetime.com/lifestyle/home-crafts/craft-ideas/needle-arts/crochet-lace-vases?page=0,0">tutorial di Julie Armstrong Holetz</a> serve invece per creare tre  variazioni di vasi con juta, filo di cotone e canapa. Questi vasi non  rivestono un contenitore ma si reggono in piedi da soli, grazie al  trattamento con l&#8217;amido. Se vuoi usarli per metterci l&#8217;acqua con i  fiori, piuttosto che uncinetti, pennelli e matite, ti basta evitare il  tattamento indurente ed eventualmente sostituire i filati più rigidi (lo  spago, la juta) con cotone o acrilico.</p>

<p>I had this knit tank top around from forever. I liked its bright colours and fitted wear, that&#8217;s why I bougth it for a bargain on a vintage market stand. But eventually I got to really wear it only once or twice. So, back in November, I decided to recycle/upcycle it. You too can do something similar more faster than writing the how to in a blog post, for sure!</p>
<p><a title="recycled necktube by cimba, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cimba/4314029941/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4062/4314029941_8ceb63c60a.jpg" alt="recycled necktube" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Basically, I just cut off the upper part of the tube top and put it away. I liked the stripes, while I didn&#8217;t want to have much yellow against my face. I wanted the tube to be quite long, so I could double it and wear the neckwarmer in different ways. So, i cut away the upper part and simply stitched it with my sewing machine, and it got lightly curled up. Done! It&#8217;s simple as that. And you can wear it with the curly side down like in the first pic, or like a <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorgiera">gorget</a> (?) like this:</p>

<p>You can also double it twice and go all black, for a more subtle look.</p>

<p>This project is best with any <strong>knit</strong> tops you may have, because they&#8217;re usually stretchy. Mine was 100% acrylic so it&#8217;s also practical to wash, but it works with any fiber. You can also try with stretch jersey, indeed let me know if you do!<br />
That&#8217;s all folks! Hope you like it.</p>

<p>Poco tempo fa ero a una festa a sorpresa e notavo delle bellissime decorazioni tridimensionali, in carta rossa, suggestivamente appese al soffitto. Qualche giorno dopo ho trovato per caso su <em>internette</em> non solo la stessa decorazione, ma anche le spiegazioni per realizzarla! Nonostante l&#8217;effetto scenografico del risultato, sembra molto semplice fare questi <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-3D-Paper-Snowflake" title="How to Make a 3D Paper Snowflake on wikiHow">fiocchi di neve 3d</a>: tutto quello che serve sono 6 fogli di carta (da stampante o leggermente più spessa) perfettamente quadrati, forbici, nastro adesivo (trasparente, suggerisco io) e spillatrice.<br />
Le istruzioni sono in inglese, ma corredate da esplicative foto di tutti i passaggi. La foto sopra è tratta appunto dalle spiegazioni di <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/" title="wikiHow">wikiHow</a>, dove si trovano molti altri curiosi progetti.<br />
Qui sotto invece alcuni esempi di realizzazioni che ho trovato su flickr (click sempre sulle immagini per vedere l&#8217;orginale).<br />
Se li fate anche voi me lo dite?</p>
