Check out the simple tutorial. I must admit when a friend mentioned this idea to me a few weeks ago I crinkled my nose, all I could think about is moldy cork with a plant growing out of it. Of course a few days later this beautiful image floated across my computer screen, and I was immediately smitten by this sweet cluster of succulents. While I'm still adhering to my doctors orders for more bedrest, I thought I'd try to convince you that you should totally take on this project partly because it's awesome and partly so I can live vicariously through your creative endeavors! After a little time with google I found a handy tutorial online supplied by StyleBaggage.

Just a few notes can ignite your spirit. The radio plays a sweet song, and you find yourself swaying in the kitchen.

With some household odds and ends, you can make musical instruments for a whole band of friends.
