Crafterhours: Tee to Tank: A Tutorial by Jen from Upcycled Education

Crafterhours: Tee to Tank: A Tutorial by Jen from Upcycled Education
This is one of my favorite t-shirt refashions of all time. For a number of reasons. First, let me tell you that this t-shirt to tank refashion wasn’t my idea. Jen posted this on her facebook page and I jumped at the chance to have a crafty morning with her and watch her make it. Jen blogs at Upcycled Education– a blog I recommend you peruse, especially if you’re an educator– formally or informally. She’s full of good ideas and fun finds and her enthusiasm is catchy. Second, it is soooo quick and easy that it takes less than half an hour. Third, it uses tees you probably already have a million of and don’t enjoy the fit of but have a hard time discarding. Fourth, this t-shirt to tank only requires a tee, scissors and thread. So my girls and I spent a lovely morning yesterday with Jen and her daughter. Are you ready to see? One of Jen’s tips for this project is that you can use a tee that already fits well. In step 1 you’re making five cuts. Steps 2, 3 and 4 are pretty straightforward.

Coconut-Lemon Meltaways Whew! It's good to be back and even better to be toting a recipe that I'm super excited and proud of! Originally I thought about making these cookies after purchasing something very similar at my local grocery store a couple weeks ago. Wonderfully Raw makes a great Macaroon, so I have to give them thanks and a shout out for inspiring me to make today's recipe. DIY Sharpie Dinnerware Update: I am so excited that so many people are loving and trying this project! Please note that as I do not have a dishwasher in my home, I have not personally been able to test washing my pieces in a dishwasher. To date, I have had zero issues washing my pieces with normal dish soap and a soft cloth. Some people are reporting issues with the marker washing off, so you may choose to do a test first. Today’s DIY project was completely inspired by this pin that I’ve been obsessing over on Pinterest for a while now. According to the pin, you can write or doodle on dinnerware with a Sharpie marker and bake it at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and the design will stay permanently.

Cheesy Garlic Sticks All righty. Cheesy Garlic Sticks. I make them all the time.

The Food Gospel According to Ruth: Caprese Dip Well I am pretty sure this one speaks for itself! I recently saw this on Pinterest and knew it was something I needed to have pronto! Caprese ANYTHING has long been a favorite of mine. Whether is it is salad as a side to dinner or shoved together on skewers, I love it and always have! The "recipe" I saw on Pinterest didn't even have a recipe per say, just pictures, and that was enough to pull me in drooling! I can only imagine what this is going to be like during tomato season as it was perfectly scruptious with the cherry tomatoes that we used in late March.

DIY storybook paper roses DIY storybook paper roses You’re going to love today’s DIY project so much that you’re going to want to start tearing pages out from old books tonight! Remember the storybook roses in Shanna + Richard’s wedding? Sweet, right? Baked cheese balls OK, so we did the experiment with the egg roll wrappers and string cheese to make baked cheese sticks and they turned out alright...but nothing to write home about. These, my friends, were not the same outcome. Yes, I used the leftover string cheese from the above recipe. Yes, I used the leftover mix of breading from my baked zucchini chips that I kept in an airtight container in the cupboard until I figured out what to do with it. And, yes, marrying those two ingredients together made the best homemade cheeseball I've made to date.
