I saw this on Tumblr and just had to track down how to make these beautiful fabric peonies.
I love Kiwis, but peeling more than one of them is too much work. I love this easy way to peel a Kiwi using a large spoon. I think I just put Kiwis back on my grocery list.
And here’s another variation on the spoon technique.

Ever wanted to make your own scratch off labels or tickets? It’s surprisingly easy with just a few supplies: glue stick, sticky back clear plastic contact paper, silver metallic acrylic paint, paint brush, dish washing liquid and your printed “scratcher.” How-to-tutorial at Artmind.
Sunburns can be painful and slow to heal. Lavender essential oil can help with mild burns, including sunburns and may help minimize peeling. Lavender is one of the few essential oils that does not need to be diluted with a carrier oil and can be applied directly to skin by gently dabbing it on with a cotton ball.
For a do-it-yourself skin soothing soak in the tub, combine one cup powdered milk with 10 drops lavender essential oil in a jar, shake and pour into lukewarm bath water.

My son would have loved this Sci-Fi Rocket Fueled Jet Pack when he was little. He loved superheroes, wearing masks and capes. I’m sure if he had his own jet pack, it would have been worn every day. DIY Tutorial at DoodleCraft.

Here’s a cute idea for treats or for a child’s birthday party. The ice cream cones are teeny, tiny – about 1-.75″ tall (Joy Kids Cones from Walmart).
A cookie scoop or small melon baller is used to form the ice cream from the Rice Krispie mixture, then drizzled with melted almond bark or candy melts. To make the cones more stable, you can put some candy in the cone, then use the candy melts to “glue” the scoop to the cone. See tutorial at Cute As a Fox.
