Adventures In Acetone: Flowery Water Marble!
Good morning, readers! It's been a long time since I've done a water marble and I decided to try again last night. It's pretty time consuming, at least 30 minutes a hand for me including clean up, which is why I don't do it that often. I have to admit, though, that I love the results of a successful water marble even taking the time into account. I need to figure out new designs to do with water marbling because this is my "default" design. I can't say enough good things about Milani White on the Spot. I used: Orly Nail Defense 1 coat of Milani White On The Spot Watermarbled with: OPI Alpine Snow China Glaze Custom Kicks China Glaze Traffic Jam China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le Top coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast I love how the Secret Peri-wink-le turned more purple toned because it was marbled next to the pink!
Recycled Craft Supplies « Recession Home
Thanks to DisneyFamily – I‘ve uncovered this recycled post on what to save for craft ideas! One family's trash is a crafting family's treasure! Ideas for extracting great craft supplies from stuff you might be discarding. Crushed Eggshells Parents can dye them with a mixture of food coloring paste (a dab) and rubbing alcohol (3 tablespoons); kids can glue them onto paper to make eggshell mosaics. Packing Material The biodegradable packing peanuts made from cornstarch can be assembled into fascinating sculptures simply by moistening one end of each piece with a damp cotton swab (the moisture melts them and makes them stick together.) Here are some other crafting ideas…I keep a list going on my Recession Home, Recession Proof Pinterest Page… Milk Jugs! I’ve found a plethora of Milk Jug Ideas, that I’ve pinned onto my Pinterest board. Milk Jug Catch Milk Jug Storage Milk Jug Planters Egg Crates! Cardboard egg crates have a WONDERFUL opportunity for crafting projects.

How to build a Pyramid Strawberry Planter
Not only do strawberries taste good, they contain antioxidants and nutrients that help improve the body's immune system. They are also a great source of vitamin C, fiber, folic acid and potassium. There are three types of strawberries: June Bearing, Everbearing, and Day Neutral. produce a single crop in June (or early spring), depending upon the area. have two to three harvests: June, late summer and early in the fall. produce fruit all through the summer. Plant your strawberries in the spring as soon as the soil is dry.
Into the Glitterverse: Galaxy Nails
I've only done galaxy nails once, and they were WAAAY back in September as part of the 31 Day Challenge! I thought I'd like to do them again; they have a really awesome effect. I started with a base of OPI Black Onyx. Then, once that was dry, I tore off bits of a triangle makeup sponge. After I was done sponging on the layers of colors, I painted China Glaze Fairy Dust in the black spaces where I hadn't sponged anything. Finally, I added larger white spots with a dotting tool to represent the stars that are "closer" to the viewer. As an awesome celestial bonus, when this manicure is in the sun, the holographic glitter in Fairy Dust twinkles like distant starts. I am very pleased with the way that these turned out. Have you tried galaxy nails before? Hope you enjoyed these!
Five Days... 5 Ways: Try-it Tuesday: How to Paint a Washing Machine
*Edit #1: I painted the dryer too! Check it out! **Edit#2: For everyone asking a) what kind of paint I used to paint the washer/polka dots and b) how that paint is holding up, the answers are: a) on top of the oil-based KILZ primer, I used regular old latex paint in eggshell finish (no protective clear coat on top) and b) after 3 weeks and more loads of laundry than I care to remember, it’s holding up great. Absolutely zero chipping, flaking, or peeling off. The durability is mostly because of the primer I used, which is 1 part paint, a gazillion parts magic, as far as I can tell, but can also be credited to the fact that I rolled on three very light layers of paint. Also, it took almost no paint at all. If you’ve been hanging around for a while here at 5D5W—and especially if you read last week’s how-to-build-a-house-from-scratch post—then you know that we wrote up custom blue prints for our house. And I mostly love how everything turned out in terms of layout. No, really. U to the G-L-Y.
