DIY Braided T-Shirt Bracelets. Recycle Plastic Bottles & Make Super Cute Apple Shaped Boxes. Apparently I have apples on the brain, which is not surprising given that Rosh HaShana is just over a week away!

Recycle Plastic Bottles & Make Super Cute Apple Shaped Boxes

Last week I was looking at a plastic bottle and realized that the bottom of those that I have look very much like apples! After some complicated ideas involving spray paint, and only one bottle, it occurred to me that two soda bottle bottoms stacked look very much like an apple! Yippee! I'm so happy that I arrived at this cute and simple idea, that you can make in just a few simple steps with no toxic paint involved! You can use these apple boxes to hold treats or even a small gift, and adjust their height depending on what you'll place inside. You'll Need: plastic soda bottles with bottoms that look like apples, mine are seltzer bottlespieces of real sticksred fabric or red tissue papergreen felt in two shades of greenribbona hole puncha hot glue gun How To: Make a Miniature Marshmallow Gun. Finally…I have a fun project you can make for and with your boys.

Make a Miniature Marshmallow Gun

This blog has leaned a bit toward girls lately, so I am excited to have a fun idea for the other half of the population (although I know plenty of girls who would love these too). These minature marshmallows guns are so much fun. If your boys are like mine EVERYTHING becomes a gun. My SIL threw a birthday party for my nephew and they made all the boys their own marshmallow gun. My son loves it! You place a mini marshmallow into the end of the gun, blow on the other end and shoot the marshmallow at your target. It is ALWAYS a good idea to have your kids wear safety goggles when using these guns, because everyone knows that it is only fun until someone gets an eye shot out! I did a little searching on the internet about making these marshmallow guns and found this great idea for making a pair of safety goggles out of a 2-liter soda pop bottle. Take your parts and use the above picture to put them together to make your gun. Meal Planner Menu Board. So a fun weekend at a triple bridal shower for my three cousins that are getting married, all within 3 months.

Here are the gifts I've made: Now that wrapping is all I had, and I am NOT a good wrapper (maybe if I had more time), but I had some ribbon left from when I bought some throw pillows for my couch, and there was a lot, so that is what I used up to wrap the gifts. The gift I am showing you now is the one in the pink wrapping. To see the blue gift click here. To see the yellow gift click here. I was in the thrift store... I used some craft paint that I already had on hand, and painted the boarder of the cork board.
