Recycled Craft Supplies « Recession Home
Thanks to DisneyFamily – I‘ve uncovered this recycled post on what to save for craft ideas! One family's trash is a crafting family's treasure! Ideas for extracting great craft supplies from stuff you might be discarding. Crushed Eggshells Parents can dye them with a mixture of food coloring paste (a dab) and rubbing alcohol (3 tablespoons); kids can glue them onto paper to make eggshell mosaics. Packing Material The biodegradable packing peanuts made from cornstarch can be assembled into fascinating sculptures simply by moistening one end of each piece with a damp cotton swab (the moisture melts them and makes them stick together.) Here are some other crafting ideas…I keep a list going on my Recession Home, Recession Proof Pinterest Page… Milk Jugs! I’ve found a plethora of Milk Jug Ideas, that I’ve pinned onto my Pinterest board. Milk Jug Catch Milk Jug Storage Milk Jug Planters Egg Crates!

There are three types of strawberries: June Bearing, Everbearing, and Day Neutral. produce a single crop in June (or early spring), depending upon the area. have two to three harvests: June, late summer and early in the fall. produce fruit all through the summer. Plant your strawberries in the spring as soon as the soil is dry.
Five Days... 5 Ways: Try-it Tuesday: How to Paint a Washing Machine
*Edit #1: I painted the dryer too! Check it out! **Edit#2: For everyone asking a) what kind of paint I used to paint the washer/polka dots and b) how that paint is holding up, the answers are: a) on top of the oil-based KILZ primer, I used regular old latex paint in eggshell finish (no protective clear coat on top) and b) after 3 weeks and more loads of laundry than I care to remember, it’s holding up great. Absolutely zero chipping, flaking, or peeling off. The durability is mostly because of the primer I used, which is 1 part paint, a gazillion parts magic, as far as I can tell, but can also be credited to the fact that I rolled on three very light layers of paint. Also, it took almost no paint at all. If you’ve been hanging around for a while here at 5D5W—and especially if you read last week’s how-to-build-a-house-from-scratch post—then you know that we wrote up custom blue prints for our house. And I mostly love how everything turned out in terms of layout. No, really. U to the G-L-Y.
Do-it-Yourself DIY String Wedding Lanterns Yarn Chandeliers
Jessica of Wednesday Inc shows us how to make those gorgeous twine chandeliers from the inspiration shoot she shared with us this morning. Using balloons, glue and twine, you can also make these lanterns for your wedding – and then bring it home and use it as your very own mid century lampshade. What you will need are: balloons, glue, yarn, tray for glue, corn starch 1/2 cup of Corn starch, 1/4 cup of Warm water, clear fast drying spray paint, hanging lamp cord or fishing line (depending on your desired final product), and a lighting kit if you’re looking for a fully functional lantern. Jessica recommends using a sharpie to mark on the inflated balloon how much room you need to leave for the lighting cord. Are you getting excited to try to do this at home as much I am? Instructions: 1.
Weekend Project #1 - Terrariums for Pinterest Challenge
I love projects and Pinterest so when Sherry over at Young House Love posed the 2nd Pinterest Challenge I had the perfect pins in mind. Dylan got me these great fish bowl bookends two birthdays ago and we've had little success keeping any kind of fish alive in them. (R.I.P Goldfish 1, Goldfish 2, Goldfish 3, Goldfish 4, Betta 1 and Betta 2 - you were doomed from the start without names.) Supplies - Glass fish bowl bookends, tiny succulents, Cactus/Succulent potting soil, decorative stones, and a spoon. Completed succulent terrariums: I think my favorite part about this project was realizing that this was the perfect place to display the stones we have brought back from Iceland, Lake Superior and Italy.
