New Pattern- Scrap Busting Skirt!



Who doesn't have an overwhelming amount of scraps?

But you just can't throw them away....Must. Make. Something. With. Them!!!!!!

Well, I was getting tired of looking at my mountain of scraps and came up with this:

Funky playdoh recipes

The rainy days lately have brought out the teacher in me....and we've been doing projects and making stuff!




Some fun playdoh recipes we have tried this week:



FLUBBER:



1 1/2 cups glue (the white stuff)

4 T Borax (found with laundry detergent in a box, fairly cheap too!)

4 Cups water



Mix 2 c water and glue.

In a separate bowl mix 2 C water and borax.

Stir until it dissolves.



Pour Borax mixture a little at a time into the glue mixture.







SILLY DOUGH:



1/4 cup liquid starch (found it at the Walmart after looking everywhere else! It's in a blue jug with laundry type stuff.)

1/2 cup glue (white stuff)

1/4 t. food coloring



Mix together.

Let it sit for 5 Min.

Knead by hand until starch is absorbed.





These are really quite fun. So much better than boughten play doh too!!!!
