Love this! I am new to crochet, so the simpler the better. I really want to make this!I am confused about one thing. On the last round (Step 3), you have "after chaining to every new gap." I think of chain stitches as not attached, such as the chains to create the first stitch in a new row of double crochet, or the ones creating the little points of your snowflake. I am already familiar with using a slip stitch to go from one gap to another. Looking at your pictures, it looks more like you used a slip stitch to go from one gap to another. However, as a new crocheter, I may be just totally confused. Please help.

Why didn't I think of that?!?! Great idea! I use a mortar and pestle to grind my son's medications (he gets them through a stomach tube), which can be messy as the bits of pills are always jumping out of the mortar.

Thank you for posting this! I am fairly new to pin loom weaving, having gotten a 4-inch Zoom Loom in the spring. I am just now getting comfortable enough to try different weaving patterns. The only squares I have joined, so far, were two to make a pin cushion to hold my 6-inch weaving needle, and my tapestry needle, while I work with my loom - used crochet. I will be trying this out, for sure!

Haha!

Yes! Like that! You should add that step to the instructable. :o)

This is a great idea for organizing and recycling all at the same time. We already use toilet paper tubes for organizing smaller extension cords and other cords. These will be a great option, since they will store a little more flat, and I can see making them different sizes for different needs. Should work well for organizing stuff in the camper, too. I might try cutting a slit at each end for tucking the ends into.

How can I not vote for a real hoagie?!?! This brought back fond memories. I grew up in Willow Grove PA, and LOVE hoagies. There is something about the rolls made up there that is part of what makes them taste so good - and is lacking in the ones around here (central Texas). A friend that still lives up there told me that Amaroso's tried to open a bakery in either AZ or NM, and the rolls just didn't taste the same. My fond memories include our church youth group selling hoagies as a fund raiser for a retreat - and we gathered and made them assembly-line fashion.

Both of your windows are beautiful - what lucky daughters you have!

This is a great idea! Not just for a class - I could see this being a party activity for milestone events such as a baby or wedding shower, sweet 16 birthday, over the hill birthday, etc.

This is great! My grandfather used to make these kinds of puzzles with wood, wire clothes hangers, and rope.

That sounds so refreshing! I drink a mix of barley max and carrot juice and call it my pond water, because of the color. :o)

Nice! I wonder if a smaller one, with a slick fabric for the lining, such as satin, and a little loop, would make a yarn "bowl." Hmmm...

Great idea! I think I will try this for the cables I keep in my camper.

Great idea! We end up with tons of little bottles in our household, so I bet I will be able to find one to repurpose for this!

Love this!

Very nice! I could see this being used for jigsaw puzzles, as well.

Great idea! You could use the same technique to make dice for other dice games. Thanks for sharing!

I had no idea! I've not really looked at these, but saw in a Facebook RV group that some people use them in their RVs, but no one said anything about baking in them. I might have to take a closer look, now, since my RV has no oven - it just has a microwave and stove top. One of these might be just the addition I need. (And, maybe, an icemaker).

You may be on to something. Haha! However, I can see how his idea can actually organize the sections on the paper in a constructive sort of way. Something to play around with, anyway.

Yes! But only after I posted my comment. I checked out your page and went to it from there. Fun!Haha! A support group! I'll be in it, for sure. As I was writing my original comment I was thinking about the countless notebooks I have, still waiting to have their pages filled with ideas, sketches and thoughts. Perhaps I will endeavor to fill 1 page each day with something. Anything. Just see what happens.Janice:o)

I feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one who doesn't like to desecrate notebooks/sketchbooks by actually using them. I am also a big scrap of paper user, mostly recycling received envelopes or any other sheet of partially used paper. And yes, they're everywhere. This is a great idea, as is the one suggested by a couple of other commenters, which ends up more like a booklet. Each has its place and use. I'll be sharing this one with my husband, who is also a note jotter and list maker.

Me, too, y'all!

This is great! My adult, disabled son is tube fed. Currently he is bowlus fed, but there have been times in the past that he was hooked to a bag. The connection never came undone, but I recall worrying that it would. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice. That would also be great for crafters.

Nice idea! I knew I was saving those bits of plastic for something!

Thank you for this! My mom made these way back in the day, using old Christmas cards. Now I have the template to make some!

Thank you for posting this. I have often wished I could do this, but never paid attention to the icons that showed up when I highlighted things. I have a Kindle Touch and a Kindle Fire. After testing your instructions on my Fire, I decided to check it out on the Kindle for PC app on my laptop. Yep, that worked, too, using the mouse/curser, instead of my finger, since my laptop doesn't have a touch screen. Thanks, again!

I'm guessing: the one with long leaves might be a stripped Dracaena, and the one with the smallest leaves might be a creeping fig. The other one escapes me. If you are on Facebook, there is a group of plant enthusiasts who LOVE to ID plants (Plant Identification and Discussion).

Nice Instructable! You included several ideas I hadn't thought of. My son has multiple health issues which results in LOTS of medicine bottles of various sizes. Once a person has utilized all they can and still have more bottles - here is an article I ran across a couple months ago that might be an answer - send them to Malawi! http://blog.diversitynursing.com/blog/empty-pill-bottles-desperately-needed-take-your-meds-help-others?utm_content=20936049&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook
