Christmas Gifts for Teachers
There are so many valuable people at school but most of us do not have a huge budget. I take a tray full of treats into the lunch room for everyone to enjoy.
LEGO Table
I would recommend adding a slight boarder on three sides to help keep the pieces on the table rather than the floor. Nice idea!
Lemon Rose Bath Splash
Alcohol is very drying. You might consider witch hazel instead. I do this with glycerin and water solution and apply after bath or shower.
Selling Collectible Dolls?
Look on ebay and look at sold only to see what your type of doll has recently sold for. The post the for sale on Craigslist in your area. You might need to keep re-posting every week. Craigslist is free and the best way to sell. Selling on ebay is OK but you...
Birthday Party Game Ideas?
My sons very favorite was: Get several boxes. Put something inside each box, cotton, a dish of olives, cooked spaghetti, jello, anything that is icky to the touch. Cut a hole in the box and each person has to be blind folder, then stick their hand into the...
Cleaning a Wedding Dress?
I work for a thrift store and many soiled gowns come in. As strange as this may seem, this has worked on every single one. I hang the garment in the yard and hose it down with cold water from the outside spigot. I have done this to colored material, white and...
Use Vodka As Shower Cleanser
Just use alcohol, cheaper and that is what is doing the cleaning, not the vodka. Rubbing alcohol.
Uses for Old Pillow Cases
Pillowcases make great gift wrap. Look for wild or delicate patterns at thrift stores, get bold patterns for males. Single men can always use another pillow case. A young girl might appreciate a vintage pillow case of lace or embroidery.
Do Ziplock Bags With Water and Coins Really Repel Flies?
If you dont have pennies, just a little piece of or anything copper, perhaps a bracelet or chain?
Making a Small Garden Pond
What process do you use to clean out the water in this little pond without a pump? To prevent flying stinging pests.
Disinfecting Wipes for Kitchen and Bath Clean Up
I wish people would quit using disposable stuff and start using rags and wash them. This is so wasteful.
Use Maps as Wrapping Paper
Glad to see someone else does this! I would not use very old maps, I just use those I got from AAA in past years for some road trips etc. Ask other people if they have some, also. Pillowcases are also wonderful, and you can select some neat ones at thrift stores...
Craft Ideas Using Extra Large Coffee Filters?
Mix tempura paint and water into spray bottles. Spray the filters and let dry. Put the filter on the childs head and run a piece of masking tape around the outside of the filter to shape the hat to the childs head. Makes a lovely sun hat for kids. A fun park...
Disguise Valuables As Mayonnaise
This actually is NOT a good idea. Always hide inside of something that one will open, just in case something happens to you. A woman passed over. She had hidden her diamond ring inside a makeup cream jar. It was dumped upon clearing out her bathroom. It just...
Food for 2 Years for $5 a Week
Yes, what are you gathering the flour, sugar and salt for? Not making bread because some ingredients are missing...or what? Very curious.
Make Your Own Coffee Filter
You can also do it the old cowboy way. Put the grounds into the water and crack an egg into it at the boiling point and the grounds go into the egg. Add ground egg shells to make a super smooth coffee as the ground grounds reduce the acid.
