 A tajine is a Moroccan oven clay pot to bake ragout. This one is a souvenir, just large enough to contain a ring. Mounted on a deodorant rolling ball, itself mounted on a hot plate trivet made by the kids in a former Maker Faire, the tajine will make a hot jewellery box.
 Sofia the horse lost its mane. 50 pieces of purple, blue and rainbow wool glued on its neck will match its purple tail. Then, carrying the orange yoyo will give it a real purpose in life.
 The sandals' black leather stains the skin when wet. Cut strips of flower patterned fabric to line the inner side of the leather. Leave a few flower shape holes to get temporary flower tattoos. Also, cut small flowers from the same fabric, and glue them all along the soles to make them smell better.
 This toilet flush button is missing its other half. It has been filled with wax in the past but never held very long. Gluing a large white marble on the button stem will make a permanent flush button and also act as a training device for "crystal ball reading".    "Ça y est, nous avons fini avec ma fille par passer à l’étape de réalisation du «Projet Bille". Merci encore pour ton accueil, ton sourire, ta jovialité sur ton stand à la Maker Faire de Paris, c’était vraiment un moment magique presque irréel !
 Another over-wrapped gift, this time in a waterproof metal basket. It was filled with goods shipped from cheap labour countries. Let's turn the basket into a vessel filled with water on which a bundle a plastic toys can float, holding celebration candles.
 This video game console has been chewed up by a famish kid. To keep the sensuous quality of the device, the teeth marks will be covered in faux fur cut from an old Teddy bear, and glued on in a stripe pattern like a caterpillar.
 Ugh!!! Itchy skirt! And a petticoat won't do. But a tent structure to keep the skirt away from the skin will. It can also be turned upside down and worn as a hat for grandiose occasions.
 This broken coffee maker can still be a device for brain stimulation. It needs to be turned around so the water reservoir becomes accessible and can host dreams written on small pieces of paper.
 This poor doll is slowly going bald... at such a young age! A well positioned lonely sock secured with a safety pin will make a very stylish hat and cheer her up.
 The chair's back jumps off the seat now and then. With all the rope and string found in a shoe box, let's make an enormous fuzzy ball to connect the back to the seat forever.
