KIDS BASKET:

She writes: “My son D had his birthday on Wednesday. He wanted a bike basket. Walmart’s cheapest basket was $15.00, and with my sons being so close, I knew that my other one would eventually want one as well. So that’s why I decided to make one instead!” I give a pic of what you need to create this:

and then have a look at A Lemon Squeezy Home’s site for the tutorial details! But this is not finish:

VINTAGE BASKET:

“I remember finishing boy basket, and thinking how pretty it could be for a girl with a few changes. So I re-designed the entire thing to fit an adult vintage style bike. *This basket actually fits my son’s child size bike, so it doesn’t even have to be only for an adult bike!”

steampunk

That’s the elegant idea from Neal Bridgens handmade from brass, copper and even oak: “yes it’s real, not femo or glue or paint or found parts, it’s all hand made using jewellers techniques — it should probably outlive me (not the iPod mind you). It’s not particularly for sale, I use it and rather like it, but I’m not against offers being made…Much to my surprise about 20 people a day come by to look at this. Thanks for your interest! ”
I love deeply love that!

Don’t lose more time: have a look at the Neal Bridgens’s site to keep the great work up!

Dear everyone, my name is Cristina Savi, Editor at Verbania News.
It’s my pleasure to inform you that since today Refashinoso will also become Partner of FreeStyle Re-loaded, the new editorial channel of Verbania News it means that we will start to share information and tips about Fashion and Art Recycling.

Infact FreeStyle Re-loaded will face the issue of reuse and recycling everyday life things with imagination, innovation & creativity.

The first appointment is with “Ginko” project:

Ginko first

Clara Derossi & Paola Camana, the two creators, in their free time make unique hanbags and purses reusing packaging of coffee and biscuits: hundreds of little cuttings pieces, to be joined and sewing for a unique result.

ginko second

After several trials with different types of paper – waste paper, newspaper & magazines – Carla and Paola finally turned towards coffee packaging in order to guarantee the impermeability and resistance. They can also get them from “Bar & Clubs”. Imagine that for a small pouch, 25 x 12cm, they need to cut 360 pieces, it means a total area of about 2 square metres, which are roughly 18-kilogram bags of coffee. It also means at least 10 hours of hard work! That’s a great job, guys.

Have a look at this amazing bags. To download the catalogue have a look at FreeStyle Re-loaded’s blog.

Prima 3

Thanks,
Cristina.
