When I cant think of anything cool to make, I endlessly wander around etsy! I look up themes I like or styles. I make and sell jewelry on there, so sometimes I look up type of jewelry I make, to see what other people are making. I also love things made out of felt, like broches/pins, plushies stuff like that, so I'll search things along those lines. Also another great thing to do it go to a big bookstore, like Boarders or Barnes and Noble and check out thier crafty magazines, I usually get a coffee from thier cafe and flip through the mags. I might even buy one, lol. Depends on the budget, some times I can only afford the coffee! Happy

I just look through all the old CO+K-projects for inspiration. Or I'll take my box with 100 Idea's from Keri Smith and make a few of the Idea's. You can do them in random order.

I surf the websites of my favorites stores. I go to the stores that are really expensive first. I even look at websites like Chanel.com, and LouisVuitton.com. I'll usually find something that is really expensive but really easy to make; like the Anthro Inspired Bag I posted in February and the Lucky Brand Jeans Bag I posted yesterday.
