Tied Fleece Blanket

    Hello! So, yesterday something came in the mail. It was a late birthday present...and...It was fabric for me to make my Tied Fleece Blanket!! :) I was so excited that I got started on it Right away! Here is the finished Product: ( Excuse the Bad Quality Picture Bad lighting plus Iphone Flash= No good.)


Have any of you tried making one of these? Aren't they just THE BEST!? I snuggled with it all last night haha. Anyways here is what I did if you haven't and would like to make one. 

Supplies: 
-Fabric (One Printed and one solid color, however much fabric you want)
-A Good pair of scissors (I went through 4 trying to find one sharp enough)
-A Ruler
-Patience and Time

Okay, first you need to place the printed color on the solid and cut the corners out. I cut out 5 inches by 5 inches out of each corner. Then I cut the strips out. (Make sure your cutting both fabrics!) Cut 5 inches in to the fabric and 1 inch wide each strip. Do this on all four sides. Then tie the strips together! ( Tie the printed fabric and solid fabric under that strip together). Repeat that also on all four sides. Voila! You are done! Now go snuggle with it! It's all up to you for what you want to do with the scraps but I did this:

I did the same procedure to the scrap corners but on a smaller scale of cutting! Then I stuffed it with plush and made very mini pillows! I'm not exactly sure yet what I will do with them but I might take a hand at juggling with them! Soon I will buy more fabric and plush and just make pillows maybe...Because Tying small strips together with plush in a 5 inch square and a very tedious job. Well that's all for today!! So Long! :)

Slime! :)

   So my Brother, Let's call him.. Little D, talked to me about how he learned how to make slime, so I decided to try it out with him! :) Now I have decided to show you all how you can too! Just if you want ;) 

       *What You Need* 
           
                              Borax! :) Found at a Magical Place Called the Cleaning Aisle in Wal-Mart. 
Next, Glue, or In this case instead of adding more water, I just used my Mod Podge! :) 
And Finally a big fat bowl, or little tiny bowl (Depending on how much slime you want) :) 
Food Coloring (Optional) I used blue! 

*What to Do* 
Take Your Glue and Pour in about a  1/2 Cup of glue into the bowl. Then Pour in 1/2 cup of water with it.  (If You use your homemade Mod Podge then pour in half a cup of it and then another half cup.so 1 cup haha)
Then Stir it around (Unless you're using Mod Podge) and  add your food coloring! If you don't add food coloring then it will either be an opaque white or clear depending on what type of glue you're using.  Sorry, I'm editing because I forgot an important part! **********Read this Haha. Then You Pour In One Teaspoon of Borax and Add another cup of Water.Then Stir it around again.
It should look kind of like this before you form it. 
   Finally, start grabbing it from the bowl and squishing it to give it shape and form into slime! BE CAREFUL VERY MESSY. PREFER TO DO OUTSIDE, (FROM EXPERIENCE). :) I would've taken a picture of the forming but It was such a mess anything I walked by was blue! :) 
 Once it is all formed and slime-like.........Pour (Or Some Easy Way) get it into a Nice Ziploc Baggy and stick it into the fridge! Otherwise it will mold. 
TA-DA!! :) Your Beautiful Slime is finished. Little D decided to "Check on Something" when it was time to clean! :) It can be a mess so I suggest outside for this Project! :) Thanks For Reading on how to make your own slime! :) Please Comment if you would like, would you do this project? :) It is a very fun thing to do and good for family activities also! Buh-Bye! :)

Some Fun Stuff

Okay, so I haven't Posted in awhile because of my busy May Month! :) But I Am Here right now at 9:25 p.m. haha, so This is what I discovered today! :)
                                                                
 Okay, I was making some posters for some certain things I have to do, and They were black posterboard.......but my silver and gold markers wouldn't work! :( So......I went to Dollar General hoping to find some silver markers or gold and maybe even some glue on letters instead......But I didn't find any.......Instead............I Found Some Elmer's Glitter Glue!! :) The Colors all came in Gold, Red, Blue, Green, and Silver! :) Only $2.25 ! :) They Worked amazingly! It said it was good for just designing.....but I used them to write out words and still worked wonderful! :) I Am In Love with them! Now I just need to buy some more! Haha. I even decorated my Cell Phone with the Red and made a heart on it! :) All I need to remember is to let it dry before touching it and leaving some Finger Smudges on the designs and words! ;) Talk to you all soon!! :)
