I used two yellow highlighters to make this bath.
However, the water could have been diluted a lot more, and still would have glowed. I made the glow water the same as I did here, except that I held the highlighter sponge directly under the running bath water. When making glow water, be sure that the highlighters you are using are non-toxic. If using highlighter water in the bath makes you uncomfortable you can also substitute tonic water to give you a COOL BLUE glow. Another Option- You can also make RAINBOW glow water using non-toxic paint that is meant for kids to play with (click the photo for tutorial) Any way you do it will be a blast! The girls LOVED this bath! Jewel loved splashing the glowing water. And both girls loved chasing the space objects in the water! Rosie and Jewel had so much fun with this bath!

We attempted to use an IKEA Lack side table and decided it wasn't right for the space. But something was totally missing. I brainstormed a few options and landed on some sort of basket to hold a few cozy throws for our guests. They offer of softness and texture and something about them just makes me smile. So I decided to make one myself! The idea was simple. So, off to the dollar store I went. But that is what spray paint is for right? I will save the step by step spray paint process, but basically it was a coat of primer and two coats of matte white, left to cure for two days.
I did a test run of wrapping the rope around the basket. Then we just kept on going, around and around and around. 31 Cheap And Brilliant Dollar Store Hacks. 32 Awesome Things To Make With Nature.

Anna Nemesi is a 25-year-old goldsmith/jewellery designer who lives in Budapest, Hungary. Her love for metals dates from early childhood when she spent hours in his goldsmith father’s workshop. Her family wanted her to choose another career for fear that she could not earn a living as an artist, but when she was not admitted to public university to learn psychology due to the very strict admission limits , she decided to try her hand at jewellery-making, completed two-year goldsmith training and two courses and set out to design and craft her own jewels. She is in love with metal.She works mostly with silver, but has on occasion used gold, white gold, and stainless steel.
All her pieces are hand-made. She designs and creates her own collections but also works on comission. Besides jewelry, she also likes to experiment, making various objects made of metal, such as wall-clocks, trophys, etc. She is inspired by people,music,atmosphere and tranquility. VIA: Anna Nemesi.

Having survived a few craft fairs, each one has taught me something new. My ‘lightbulb’ moments were: managing to pack my whole display in a large WHEELY suitcase (woo!) , harmonising the display with colour and these two (lifesaving) display tricks, which I’ve recreated in the hope they’ll help someone else. A few nights before the fair I was really struggling with how to display my bow rings. I resorted to googling and found this great trick on Pinterest, which used fashion magazines. A stack of small vintage books I had were perfect. Another great trick for prominently displaying brooches, earrings or necklaces is to use a picture frame. I decided to create a quilted base so that I had the flexibility to hang earrings, brooches or necklaces.
I also grabbed myself a tester pot of paint to add some colour and unify the display – I used pine boxes and frames from Ikea.
