Make sure your clock kit is made for the thickness of your wood disk. Directions: Paint the edge of the wood in a color that complements your gift wrap. Drill a hole big enough for the clock kit in the middle of the wooden circle.
Trace the circle onto the gift wrap and cut out. Glue the gift wrap circle to the wooden circle using the Mod Podge both on the back and the front of the gift wrap. Let the glue dry, and install the clock kit. Just about as easy as they come, no? Personalized Coasters. Waxing leaves - a small report. I am very pleased with how the waxing of the leaves we collected worked and how they turned out. although i am sure they have lost a little bit of their brightness, the colour is kept much more than when they are dried, they look a lot more natural and the bees wax smell in different corners of our home is lovely! I bought two 100% beeswax candles at a drugstore and placed them in a metal bowl, which in turn i put into a pot with some water in it, which i brought to boil on the stove. when the bees wax had melted, i dipped the leaves in it and placed them on parchment paper. they took a very short time to dry. i made a small garland with most of them, but wanted to keep the maple leaves against the light of the window, i think they look simply gorgeous!
I might just add that the little man was only interested in watching me and didn't want to join, so it was a mess-free project. in case little ones join you i recommend spreading a lot of newspaper across every piece of working space!!

Regardless, she’s the coolest, most creative and talented woman I know. She can make pretty much anything. At least once during high school, I borrowed a friend’s purse, brought it home to Mom, and she whipped one up just like it for me.
Yes, I probably abused the power of being Her Ladyship’s daughter, and I no longer steal my friends’ purses, but the point is: my mom is awesome. If you follow Young House Love, Bower Power, Making a House a Home, or Style by Emily Henderson you know how timely her visit was, as today is the big reveal for the Pinterest Challenge.

This weekend, we made edible fingerpaint on a cloudy Saturday morning. Rowan has a lovely habit of eating his crayons (and dirt and rocks!) , so making a safe, ingestible fingerpaint sounded like a good project for us. I have experimented with making play dough before which worked out really well. Rowan still plays with the same batch from months ago, and when he eats it, I don't have to go into a tailspin. Here is the recipe I found on Momtastic (great website btw). It was a lot of fun and very messy. I guess that means we were doing it right. Edible Fingerpaint(via Momtastic) 1/3 cup flour 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups of water Food coloring In saucepan, on low/medium heat, warm up flour, sugar, salt and water. Divide mixture evenly into 4 small cups. How to Make a Pencil Holder Using a Can. Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a tutorial on how to make your own pencil holder with a recycled can.
