Day 87

Ruffled Tee

Start with a plain old t-shirt.

Cut from one shoulder to the arm pit of the other arm, but make sure

you measure how much you want to take off...or you might end up 

cutting the neckline to low.  Also cut off about 2inches off the bottom 

of the shirt and the hem of the remaining sleeve.

Use the bottom of the shirt to create ruffles at the neckline.

And there you have it!  From an old boring tee

to a shirt ready for a night on the town! :)

Peanut Butter Cup Pretzels

Ok...So I'm in love with making chocolate covered pretzels!  I also LOVE 

peanut butter!  SOOOO Introducing Peanut Butter Cup Pretzels!!

Melt Hershey Kisses onto pretzels, at 200F for about 4mins.

While that is in the oven, scoop a few tablespoons of peanut butter into a

bowl and microwave for 30seconds.

When 4mins is up, smooth out the kisses.

And drizzle the peanut butter on top!!  Refrigerate for about

an hour, or until chocolate and peanut butter has hardened.  

ENJOY!! :)

Day 71

Blown-Out and Silk Dyed Eggs

Keep seeing this idea pop-up on the internet so I gave it a try!! 

Part 1:  Blown-Out Eggs

For this part you are going to need:

-eggs

-a push pin

-paper clip

-syringe or bulb syringe

Gather supplies and soak eggs in warm water for 10 mins.

Use push pin to gently poke holes in both ends of the egg.

Then straighten out the paper clip and use it to "scramble" the 

egg.  Now the hard part, removing the egg.  I held the egg with

one of the holes facing downwards and put the syringe over the hole

drawing the end back to pull the egg into the syringe...this takes some

time.  Then when I felt I had removed all of the egg, I filled the syringe

with water and put the water in the egg to wash out the inside (I did this a few times

till the water came out clear)  

Now onto Part Two!!

Part Two:  Silk Dyed Eggs

Your going to need:

-the eggs from part one

-100% silk fabric

-plain white fabric

-vinegar

-twisty ties

Gather Supplies

Wrap eggs in silk and secure with twisty tie.

Wrap the eggs with the white fabric and secure with twisty tie.

Fill a pot with water and 1/4 cup vinegar.  To keep the eggs

from floating I put them in mason jars before putting

them in the pot.

Bring to a boil and boil for 20mins.  

Unwrap to see what awesome design has transferred to the egg! :)

Day 70

New Life to Old Air Fresheners

Have some of the plug in air fresheners that 

you consistently have to buy expensive

refills for???  

Well you can refill them yourself for a

fraction of the cost!! :)

I got this huge bottle of scented oil at the Dollar Store.  

Just make sure that the oil is safe to use in an oil

warmer! :)

Gently pry the lid of the refill container off...I had to call

in the big guns to help get it off! Thanks DAD!! :)

Refill and reinsert the lid and..

AHHH  Smell the Freshness! :)

Day 69

Fly Away Home, Little Butterflies

I hot glued little butterflies to a canvas to 

create a 3D art piece!!  And painted "dash" marks around the 

borders and under the butterflies! :)

Day 68

Cherry Blossoms

I know the Cherry Blossoms bloomed a

few weeks ago, but I saw this project and just thought it 

was too cute!!  Just use the bottom of a coke bottle to make

the petals of the cherry blossoms!! :)

Day 67

Easter Cake with Chocolate Nest

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!! 

Melt Chocolate in the microwave till it is creamy.

Dip the bottom of a balloon into the chocolate till you have the 

desired nest (basket).  Allow to harden in the refrigerator

for a few hours.  Pop the balloon and remove.  Now ya got a nest (basket). 

I filled mine with little malt Easter Eggs!! :)
