TABLE OF CONTENTS OF THIS BLOG, ALPHABETIZED:
http://www.publiusroots.com/2018/04/table-of-contents.html
Due to not having a domain for almost two years and just getting a domain from Google FINALLY (they refused all this time, telling me "you don't need one") I am now recovering the blog. 4/29/2020
I will be sharing videos on a wide array of projects, including Dollar Tree and General Dollar supplies -. these are videos I come across on YouTube
DECIDE FOR YOURSELF WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE
I don't take comments on this blog, because as you may notice, I have a whole lot of posts and I try to keep them current as best as I can. My pitstops stream almost all information I access.
This is strictly volunteer. No strings attached.
((hugs))
This is another Crackle Project
Crackle craft on glass objects https://youtu.be/f5zsB1aIJbw
Elmer's glue for crackle, Mod Podge for applique
I wonder if this would work on plastic. The results may be different yet still fun. I should add a new blog post, Crafts, on my ad-free, unmonitored blog. www.appleofmyeyes.org/2018/04/table-of-contents.html

21 min)

fold-out cube with pictures on all sides

T-shirts for parents and child – all with the coloring projects of the child
43. Flour, starch,
water – recipe to make molds for hand/foot – to bake and display
44. Use conductive
material for this project! Cut flowers
and use masking tape to arrange on the cloth, pound with a hammer to cause the
natural coloring to adhere to the cloth (I suggest you try a patch from the
cloth to see how this works out; you may want to use a Q-tip painting process to
ensure the colors are vivid) – make a versatile scarf which can be worn
different ways – AND protect you or/and your child from radioactive rays!
45. As roses from an arrangement begin to wilt,
cut them one inch from the buds and stick them through plastic ring cut-outs,
to place in a see-through glass bowl of water
46. Place cut fresh
lemons to line the outside of a glass vase from within before putting arranged
flowers in it. FYI: Lemons repel bugs and can also be used as a
surface cleaner, so when they start to dry out, take them out and use them for
cleaner. They won’t go to waste.
47. Using adhesive
tape, arrange small square openings at top of bowl with water. Place flowers
that are cut with 1” stem. Serves as a
decorative and aromatic arrangement.
48. Homemade flower
arrangement if you have flowers at home. Use brown paper, syran wrap, dampened
heavy paper toweling or the strips you
use for waxing off hair if you have them. They don’t have any harmful chemicals
and are durable.
49. Make a colorful
rug from cut out circles with cotton batting inside before they are gathered,
sewn. Great idea for people with feet
problems, too!
50. Pom-Pom rug
51. Snaked cording
makes a great “coaster” for large plant
52. Cement and Sock
– dip the sock in mixed cement and place over an empty bottle. Let dry. Results: Vintage look!
53. Coffee cup and
evening drink holder
54. Clock made of
coffee cups and lots of color!

sides made of wood hangers
