How to Make Beeswax and Honey Lip Balm. Bottles Full of Light. The other day, I wrote about attempting to drill through glass and I finished up the project this weekend. I think it turned out beautifully — I love the idea of bottled light! These would be pretty by a wintery window or under an entry table. I like the way the gold paint makes the bottom of the bottles look misty and glow-y, even during the daytime. I’ve got a ton of images and DIY instructions below if you’d like to try this too. For tools and supplies, I started at my local True Value. (Lately, I swear I’m in there every single day.) I started with these apple juice bottles from Whole Foods. Next, I used my handy scraper tool to take off the label.
Once the bottle was clean and label free, it was time to drill through the glass. [UPDATE: Hah! Next we painted. I used a disposable sponge brush and Liquid Leaf paint — but any metallic enamel paint should work. Once the paint was dry (it dries very quickly), we started stuffing the lights in. And that’s it! Our DIY Diaries: Trash to Treasure. Abbie’s Stir Fry… Our cute little daughter, Abbie, made me a cookbook for last Mother’s Day…. She got the recipes from her Home Ec class at school and has made some of them for our family. I asked her to make a couple again so we could post them on my blog! This Stir Fry is perfect for kids to learn to chop vegetables and use the stove.
She did a really great job! Everyone loves this dish so help your kids give it a try Abbie’s Stir Fry Makes 4-6 servings Ingredients: 1 c. 1 c. 1 Chopped Carrot1 Chopped Celery 2 pkg.

DIY Mason Jar Tumbler Lid- In ONLY 3 Steps. I've been dying to get some of these tumbler lids since I saw them on Groopdealz May 3rd. After missing out on snatching up the deal, then shopping around the internet for them, I was discouraged, because they are ridiculously expensive!!!
AND I couldn't find a tutorial on how the heck they were made. I knew they could be made on the cheap, just needed to figure out what that darn seal was! Materials Needed: Mason jar lid Seal or Grommet Drill and 3/8" drill bit Wire cutter How to do it: 1. 2. 3. VOILA! Just make sure you wash the mason jar and lid good to get rid of any debris.
TIP: Use the same jar, just new lids while making holes. Now I have to be honest, if it wasn't for the guys at Lowes, I would have never figured this out on my own, so really all credit for this post goes to them! So after the Lowe's man helped me pick out the size, I then had to put my pride aside and ask what size drill bit I should use. WHAT! Haha.... guess I should have asked him first, huh. xo. DIY Bath Salts | Gift in a Jar. So, I was at Michael's last week, and happened upon a huge jar of mineral/sea salt, it was cheap so I had to buy it. I knew it would come in handy at some point. It did. I decided to make a homemade bath soak. Super easy. Super Yummy! Perfect for handmade gift giving! What you need: jar (I used the Ball jelly/jam jars measuring 250ml) mineral and sea salt essential oil (or in my case extract) food coloring small piece of fabric How to make it: Pour enough salt to fill a jar, or two.
That’s it! You can use any scent you prefer. . # kristanlynn xoxo This post was sponsored my Little Miss Momma.
