cute clothespins.

For this project you'll need clothespins, a printed picture, double sided tape, scissors, and a colored pencil.


First, put the double sided tape on the clothespin, then lay the pattern on top, cut around, color in the rest of the pin with the colored pencil and you're done!
 You could even glue magnets to the back of the pin to hang things on a refrigerator!

bubble paper.

This is a fun project to spice up boring white paper. Heres what you need - White paper, cups with soapy water (I used plastic cups so the dye didn't stain the good ones.. use the same amount of cups as food dye colors)& food dye and a spoon.

First, mix colors with the soapy water. You'll need about 3 drops of each color.

mix!

Now, lay your paper down. Grab your spoon and skim the top of the bubbles. You dont want alot of water on your spoon or else it wont turn out so make sure its just the top of the bubbles! If you find that your bubbles are too wet add more soap and another drop of dye.
You just want to get some bubbles on your spoon and tap them onto the paper barely touching at all.

 Heres the end result! I just wrote a little note on my paper. Have fun!

 

terrarium.

Spring is here and I thought it would be fun to construct a terrarium using a handful of river stones, potting soil, wild flower seeds, Spanish moss & a hurricane vase with a lid. Here are the items I used:

Put the river stones on the bottom, then a layer of potting soil, flower seeds, another small layer of soil then add the Spanish moss. I put a small bird figurine on top for decoration.


Now you're done! Just pour a glass of water in and put the lid on! The soil will stay moist- it works like a green house. Have fun!
