The butterfly lamp becomes a designer piece A few new wings - and already the lamp has become an elegant art object.

New pillow from old cocktail dress The cut of the black dress from the 60s had long since gone out of fashion for the big show. But the finely embroidered border in paisley pattern remains a real eye-catcher. The lower part was carefully cut off from the dress with embroidery and transformed into a noble pillow. For this purpose, quilt the border onto a finished pillow cover or, if the remaining fabric is still in order, sew the entire cushion cover from the garment fabric.

Flowery appearance for a ceiling lamp from the 30s With the help of a stainless steel ring, the lamp is converted to a vase - nice for a small orchid or a bunch of short roses.
