Eraser Clay

Eraser Clay

 

I didn’t know that this clay existed!! Its clay that you bake and turns it into an eraser!!

I bought mine off eBay for about $20

We had lots of fun spending the afternoon moulding the clay into heaps of different shapes and animals

You need to kneed the clay first to soften it than let your imagination go!!
 

Once you have made all your critters place then on an oven tray

Now simply bake them in a moderate oven for 7-10 minutes. I might have over cooked ours a little as they are slightly harder than the average rubber, but they still work!!

  

Rainbow Shoes

Tie-Dye Rainbow Shoes

When walking through Target yesterday I saw these plain white shoes for only $6 !! What a bargain, so I simply had to buy them. Then I raced home to decorate them.

To ‘rainbow’ up your shoes all you need are some plain white shoes, permanent markers and rubbing alcohol

I took out the laces before I began

Then I simply draw colourful patterns

Make sure you cover the whole shoe

Now for the fun part!! I poured some rubbing alcohol into an old cup and using an eye dropper I ‘dropped’ drops onto the whole shoe

 

And watched the colours run/mix together. They are now so bright!!

Repeat to the other shoe

WOW!!

I very patiently waited until morning for them to dry

I so love my new fancy footwear!!

I think that they will get very well worn!!

360° Photo Frames

360° Photo Frames

(Recycle Jars!!)

I simply love these 360* photo frames. They are great for coffee tables where you can still see photos from all directions.

They are SO SIMPLE to make.

Start with old clean jars

Then spray paint the lids (inside and out)

Fine some of your favourite photos or take some new ones. (My Kids wanted to pretend to escape from the jars!!) Then print them out.

It took a little fiddling on the computer to get them the right size for the bottles before I printed them out

Now cut them to the right size for your chosen bottles

Last step was to simply put the photos into the bottles upside down and screw on the lids

Flip over the bottles, and you’re DONE!!

You can even replace the photos at any time

Tye-dye Bandage

Tye-dye Bandage

 So my poor little craft inspirer has broken her little finger and the hospital taping looks SO BORING!!

Until we can get to the fracture clinic next week our friend suggested that we should brighten up her hand, SO  we tye-dyed a bandage to wrap around it!!

For this quick easy craft all you need is a bandage, permanent markers and rubbing alcohol (Isocol)

Place part of the bandage over a cup and hold it in place with a rubber band

Now simply draw any pattern with the permanent markers. More colour and brighter the better!! (As Serena hurt her writing hand she found this really awkward!!)

Using rubbing alcohol (Isocol) and an eyedropper put a few drops onto the colours and watch them spread

Continue the above steps until the bandage is full of colours and patterns

Allow to dry. This won’t take long at all

DONE

This makes the sore booboos so much better!! Lol!!
