Glowing Play Dough | The best play dough recipe | Tinkerlab. Today I’m joined by Tinkerlab reader Natasha Levochkina McCain, who’s sharing her glowing playdough recipe with us today. This is one of the coolest ways to update play dough, and I think you’ll get a kick out of it. We sure did. Enjoy! This play dough inspired my whole family. Not just my two sons (three and five years old), but even a very busy and sometimes moderately grumpy Dad and our 15 year old. Not only was it exciting for the kids to stay up after dark to play with the dough, but they also created space landscapes, alien creatures and even an alien alphabet.
While it was not an entirely accidental invention, it was not too far from it. The intension was to make some fun looking play dough for a 6 year old boy as an impromptu present. I started mixing the ingredients before I realized that I only had unbleached whole wheat flour left. Disaster? I decided to go ahead and to make the dough anyway. Glowing Play Dough Recipe Author: Natasha McCain | Tinkerlab Recipe type: Play Dough. Altering Jeans // adding width to a waistband. A few weeks ago I was thrifting with my sibs and found these brand Banana Republic jeans (with tags!) For $10. They fit super great in the hips/thighs/legs, but surprisingly, I had to squeeze those bad boys quite a bit to button the fly. Weird. Usually it’s the other way around, right? But yeah, the waistband was just too tight, giving me a mean muffin top. Yikes. Yikes yikes. So here’s what I did (in really crappy lighting): I removed the waistband completely except for the very front.
I removed the brand label, and then inserted a good inch an a half of denim. I repinned it, using all the creases and folds that were already well in place, And then top stitched. Then I re-attached the label over the added section cause I’m sneaky like that. It worked super well! I also took in the legs to be more of a slim cut–now they’re more of a skinny straight, just the way I like ’em. This was a successful alteration, and now I wear these jeans all the time. Altering Jeans // adding width to a waistband. Utah County Mom: Giant "water bed" outside sensory bag. One of my favorite things about working at my dream job is that I get to do fun things like this with my kids during the day. I saw this idea here and decided to try it out. I bought the plastic drop cloth and duck tape at Walmart for under $10 for both.
I bought the drop cloth that is in a 10' roll that rips off into ten 10' squares. I bought the teal duck tape because I thought it was cute. Originally I was going to use food coloring like the blog said, but after I thought about how it was likely this thing would leak and I didn't want to ruin 3 kids' clothes by them splashing in food coloring water, I decided to leave the food coloring out of it.
Despite that my husband didn't think this would work very well, it was a HUGE success! I started out by unrolling the tarp I bought and taping the perforated edges to prevent water from leaking at them. I put the 20' x 10' double-layered-tarps on top of each other, and rolled the edges and duck taped in place. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 52 Weeks Project. DIY. Dry shampoo has been a MUST HAVE in my daily hair care routine for the past three years. I’ve gone through countless spray cans of different brands (Psst!
, Tresemme, John Frieda, Garnier, Oscar Blandi, Batiste…to name a few), spending way too much for very little product. I started to use plain old baby powder, sprinkling it directly on my roots and rubbing it in, and I found that it worked just as well or even better at giving my hair added volume and combating greasiness. I continued to do this for months until one day I was at work, and I happen to catch a glance of my hair in the mirror. THE RECIPE: Mix 3 parts cocoa powder and 1 part cornstarch and/or baby powder in a small container. Because this container works so well, I just hold the container in my hand and sprinkle the powder directly onto my roots and rub it in with my fingers. QUICK TIP: Did you know that the best way to use dry shampoo is to apply it BEFORE you actually need it?

This recipe makes enough for 3 - 3/4 oz tins (see photo for size) and one 1 1/2 oz jar. Notes I prefer to measure kitchen cosmetics with a scale but I included the approximate tsp. measurements for those without a scale.
All ingredients can be found at a natural food store or ordered from an online store such as Mountain Rose Herbs. Some people are allergic to lanolin. I always use solid honey, that's just the kind of have. Gift Ideas for Poor Creative Souls (10) Posted by: Cathy on May 22, 2012 Tagged in: Untagged I just loved this Paint swatch chandelier! What a wonderful idea and those paint swatches you can pick up for free.
You can use an old lampshade and use the frame or pick up an old one from the thrift store. These are the materials you'll need: - paint swatches in the same tones or you can use multi-colored if you prefer - wire frame from old lampshade (this will hang upside down) - large circular hole puncher - cellotape - cotton thread - scissors Start punching your circles from your paint swatches.

I’ve always thought that origami was pretty neat. I’ve seen people fold paper into those prophetic fortune telling contraptions, make beautiful swans out of napkins, construct geometric fish in just a few creases, and create those highly fashionable newspaper hats. However, to be perfectly honest, aside from the occasional paper airplane, I had never made an origami figure of my own.
Of course, when I was offered the opportunity to test the Alphapets Origami Book, I had to give it a try. Full discretion–this is a children’s book, but since I had zero experience making paper pets, I decided to enlist a little help. Fortunately, my best friend’s daughter, Kaitlyn, volunteered to be my assistant. Background Research Kaitlyn happens to live in my hometown, which is quite a ways away from Brooklyn. Hypothesis Alphapets is a fun introduction to origami for kids and adults alike.
The Experiment First we read the book together. After giving it a read through, we took a look at the instructions page. Cheep Cheep mom.me. Button Rings. Happy Hour Projects: Wish Bracelets.
