Tee Shirt Head Band

Being in the crafty mood I have been in lately I decide to see what I had house to use in my crafts project. I came across an old tee shirt and had remembered seeing something on pinterest about creating a head band out of an old tee-shirt. My first attempt I didn't keep it tight enough and had to restart but after figuring out how exactly to weave the tee shirt strips it came out pretty well. I have uploaded a picture of my final product, as well as the link to the website I used which has step by step instructions and easy to follow pictures.

Birds Nest

So last night I was surfing through pinterest looking at all sorts of crafts and food ideas when I came across something called  a birds nest and was inspired! This morning I woke up ready to give this easy recipe a try, and by all means it was very easy. Pre-heat oven to 375. All you need to make a serving for four: four pieces of toast cut in about 4inch circles and then cut in half, four pieces of bacon cook in microwave for about 3 minutes (will continue to cook in oven) put the bread in a lightly greased muffin pan over lapping each other just a little and reaching up to the top of the muffin pan cup. Place semi cooked bacon in the bread bowl and crack an egg over top. Cook in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until cooked though. And There you have it! A cute little breakfast birds nest! Below is a picture of my birds nest!

Crayon Project

I had recently seen on the web a project that many people were doing where you take crayons and melt them to create a pretty neat effect. So inspired by this technique I decided I would make one and put my soon- to be nieces name on it. I do wish the crayon had run more in certain areas but all in all it was really easy and really cheap to do. I think in total I spent $15 on the entire project. All you need is a canvas, hot glue gun, couple boxes of crayons, a hair dryer and some letters. Glue the crayons on to the canvas in what ever order you want. Most people do it similar to a rainbow. After gluing the crayons down, head outside and blow dry the crayons until you get the desired look. Let dry and then glue on letters! And there you have it! Below is a picture of my final project!
