| Bubbles Mix together 1/4 cup liquid detergent, 1/2 cup water and a few drops of food coloring and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Pour into a shallow container and use with a bubble blower. Most important - Let the bubble solution age for a few days to make bubble blowing easier. Face Paint Mix one part solid shortening (like Crisco) to two parts cornstarch. Combine with food coloring for desired effects. Add enough glycerin to allow the paint to spread smoothly on the skin. Glass Glue
In a bowl, soften gelatin in cold water. Heat milk to boiling and add to soften gelatin. Stir until gelatin dissolves and pour into a jar. Use this when something must adhere to glass, such as labels on jars, or to glue wood to wood. Keeps only a day or two. Set jar in a pan of hot water to soften for reuse. Stained Glass Crayons A good way to use all those broken crayon pieces is to make stained glass crayons. Remove any covering paper, place the pieces in a well-greased muffin tin (or line each muffin section with foil), and put in a 400 degree oven for a few minutes until melted. Remove from the oven and cool completely before removing from tin. If you mix the crayon colors, the "new" crayons will have a stained glass effect and are great fun to color with. |
