New tag! "Magpie Art" is upcycled junk to make art.

DIY beaded denim bracelet (will also work for ribbons)
http://www.usefuldiy.com/es/diy-old-jeans-bracelet/

Make easy rectangular paper beads by slathering the back of a strip of paper/fabric/tissue in glue and rolling it around a drinking straw. Cut to size. Embellish as desired. Can get a porcelain look if dipped in clear nail polish.

As above, consider also other forms of paper, as these stamp beads:https://www.etsy.com/listing/94571325/vintage-postage-stamp-earrings-nederland?ref=sr_gallery_32&ga_search_query=%27paper+bead%27+paper&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=handmade

Making your own fancy paper with watercolors, sharpie and gel pens, and correction fluid:

(Reminder from my costuming days: you can get a fabulous marbelized pattern by wetting down paper or fabric and spraying it lightly with a variety of colors, then flicking it with metallic paint using a paintbrush or toothbrush)

That kind of thing can also be used to paint these embellished corks

Sewn fabric beads and embellishment (not a bad craft-on-the-go project)

Quilt layout (all squares, would make a good mitered square afghan)

Can use the same pattern for these instructions on felted sweater throw:

The original blogpost is gone, but the basic math for a roughly 60 x 60" throw still exists at:
