RE: Advice For Making Clothes From Duct Tape
How fun! When I was younger, this would have been
right up my alley.

Good to know people still know how to have fun
and be creative.

P.S. Link below won't work because there is a
period at the end of the link. Just remove the
period and it will work, or follow this link:

RE: Brown Paper Bag Wall Treatment
Though I am still in the process of completing a similar
technique to the master bedroom of our home, here is a before and during shot.

There is still much to do and things to change, so I
won't call it an 'after' shot, but this gives you an idea.

If anyone would like additional information such as
pictures and instructions, please feel free to visit my
webpage for brownbagging:

RE: Mexican White Sauce
Whoops, somewhere in the editing, the last
few lines were messed up.

The line should read:

Serve chilled with thin restaurant style chips or chips of your choice. Or better yet, stop by an actual Mexican restaurant for a bag of their chips from the carry-out menu.

If anyone has questions about this recipe, I will be
more than happy to help.

Karen Marie

Editor's Note: Thanks for catching that, Karen. I fixed it in the recipe.

RE: Blue Wine Bottles
On the note of melting the glass into blobs in a
kiln, you could also cut the bottles into rings on
a wet tile saw, then melt them in a kiln to form
blobby rings.

Then string them all together for a recycled and
unique wind chime. Visit your favorite search engine
and type in MOTHER EARTH NEWS RECYCLED WINDCHIMES. Very fun!

RE: Any tips on Making a Flower Vase from Bottles?
While these posts are a few years old, I thought
I would bump it back up with mention of a wet tile
saw. Mine is a handy dandy little 7" QEP from Lowe's
Home Improvement Center.

If I can use it, you can use it.

It would be best to use the saw outdoors, and just
be sure to wear protective eye wear and hearing
protection, along with clothes you don't mind getting
dirty and wet.

Take your time, keep the water reservoir full and
cut away.

RE: Brown Paper Bag Wallpaper
Hello,

If you visit the following link, you can find a lengthy
conversation I pretty much had by myself while learning
about Brownbagging:

http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/745742/

I've learned so much from Bonnye Manning of
Brownbagwalls.com

If you can't view the thread, let me know and I will
be happy to post the information here. Brown
bagging the walls is easy, cheap and fun!

08-10-2007. Edit to include the address of a
webpage I have since created to help others
achieve the brownbagging look on walls:
