We are born to make stars :D

The expat association I'm volunteering for, is celebrating several foreign holidays. The next one is the 4th of July (America Independence Day).

I was asked to help with the decorations, as we don't have quotes yet we have to keep it simple and cheap.

This was what I thought:
- Hang red and white t-shirts and blue jeans alternately
- Do some stars with carton and foil paper and hang them together with the red and white clothing

 I did a five pointed star with just card board and covered it with foil paper from the coffee packages.

Note: the tin can was used only because I didn't have a compass...

Cables on the loose?

When I fist came to live in The Netherlands I moved in with my boyfriend don't get me wrong - he is very tidy but being a software developer does make one's home look full of cables...

I saw something in a shop downtown that could help organizing the cables but I though I could do something similar myself with just a cardboard and a pair of scissors.

If you want to make it pretty you can wrap it a colorful paper afterwards and even cover with transparent plastic to protect it.

I also made a smaller one for our headphones.
