Needle-nose pliersScissorsLong tweezers or chopsticksFlathead screwdriverGlasses or goggles Let’s start with the light bulb.
We will be removing the inside parts of the lightbulb. First, remove the metal tip from the bottom of the bulb. Then, when enough of the sides are raised to get a good grip on them, hold one of the sides with your pliers and yank out the metal tip. Next remove the black glass. Now you will be able to see the interior parts of the light bulb. Using the flathead screwdriver as a sort of lever, snap the interior tube from the side. And now you have an empty light bulb! How to Make Leaf Skeletons. I wanted to share with you a project from one of my readers who shares with us how to make leaf skeletons. I LOVE this! I have several leafs in various forms displayed in my home and knew I needed to make some of her leaf skeletons to add to my decor. I love how a pattern of leaves can enhance the beauty in your home. So I asked Heather if she would mind sharing her project with you. You can find more great projects from Heather at her blog The Other White House.
I have spent hours and tried various ways of making these. You need washing soda, not baking soda! Gather your leaves. Washing soda is a strong base so you may want to wear gloves when handling the leaves. You will add 3/4 cup of washing soda and 4 cups of water to your pot of leaves. Keep going, you will need to add more water so your pan doesn’t dry out. When 1.75 hours are up fill a glass baking dish with cool water. I carefully removed them and rinsed with water and added clean water to the pan. 37.1Kstumbleupon. DIY Framed Hanging Succulent Garden.

Why do i love them so much? There’s something about a protected little self sustaining eco system that just makes me happy. i’m so excited that i finally made some, i’ve been wanting to for months and months- and i think they are so pretty. they were easy breezy, too- here’s how! First collect some containers to use as the terrarium. you could buy them new, but i found these at our local thrift store. the tall one is a separate top and bottom that i found that thankfully fit together, and the low one came together. i think it used to be some kind of kitchen gadget? Anyways, as long as they are glass and fit together- they’ll work! Then, i spray painted the bottoms black to match each other and filled them with a few rocks to help with drainage. i just grabbed these right out of our driveway! Next, you’ll need to find some live moss. i stumbled across this moss during our nature walk, but you can also order it online. now, all you have to do it assemble it!

Yesterday, i was so inspired after seeing these planted mugs over on design*sponge, that i decided to make some myself, as well as design some gift tags to go along with them!
I was looking for a gift idea that was sweet, affordable and memorable – and voila. thanks design*sponge! Each planted mug only cost me $6 to make (can i get a woot woot?!). Here’s what you need: supplies: - any type of mug – i grabbed mine from target for $3 a piece - small plants to fit inside – i got mine from lowes for $2.98 a plant - a few pebbles or rocks (you can usually just find some outside!) Directions: first fill the bottom of each mug with a few pebbles, then simply place your plant in the mug and pack down the dirt around it. you may find it helpful to loosen the roots before you insert the plant. another nice touch is to add a gift tag and a small bag of your favorite coffee, tea or mulling spices. i went ahead and made these tags a printable for you, so you can use them as well!

Add a layer of rocks. 2. Add your soil. 1/4 cup is more than enough! 3. Plantable Paper for Earth Day. Apr15 by Ellen Luckett Baker Earth Day is April 22, so celebrate by growing some paper. Made from recycled materials, this homemade paper has added seeds so that it can be planted. If you punch a hole in the paper, these would make wonderful gift tags for a Mother’s Day gardening themed gift. So you can make them on Earth Day and give them on Mother’s Day! Making paper is a simple process that you can complete using household items, but it is a bit of a messy project, so be prepared.
My kids loved playing in the gooey paper pulp. Everything for this project except the seeds was found around our house. One benefit of the embroidery hoop is that it can be stapled with an office stapler rather than a heavy-duty staple gun. We tried several different seeds (zinnia, lavender and basil), but you could use any seed that is flat enough to adhere to the paper. 1. Allow the paper to dry on the fabric for a few hours, then carefully peel it up and move it to a dry surface, then let it dry overnight.
