Welcome to another Handmade Monday, our weekly link up for all things handmade.

This week I’ve been tidying my craft space a little (I realise I say I’m doing that quite often but it just seems to get untidy again so quickly!) and I came across some an old worn out mattress protector that I’d saved because although the middle had worn through but the edges were still in perfect condition. I cut a piece off and have had fun experimenting with my fabric paints on it. If it works out well I promise to share the results here sometime.

Now let’s take a look at the features from last week’s Handmade Monday:

• Remember if you want to pin any of these ideas please make sure you click through via the photo to the original project.

Claire from Pillar Box Blue upcycled plastic bottle to make these sweet heart plant pots.

Birdz of a Feather has made this sweet little robot from scrap bits and pieces, isn’t he fun!

Congratulations to you all There is a "YAY I was featured" button over here if you want to add one to your blog.

A like on social media, a comment or share is an easy way for us all to help to support one another so please do take a moment to visit some of the other projects linked up this week. It’s not mandatory to be able to join in here, there’s no easy way to check if you did but it costs nothing but a few minutes of your time and is just a nice thing to do!

The rules for Handmade Monday are very simple:

• Did you make it? Yes - then yay! We'd love to see it

• Add the link to a specific post, not your main blog url

• You can link up to 3 posts each week but try to make sure it's not something that you've shared here before

• Mingle - visit some other links - comment - share - be social

HANDMADE MONDAY IS NOT A PLACE FOR SELLING SO NO LINKS TO ETSY OR OTHER SELLING PAGES, THEY WILL ALWAYS BE REMOVED. THANKS

If you are not sure of anything more details can be found here.

At Handmade Monday the links are shown in a random order so it’ll look different each time you pop by.
