I am giving you the recipe to make natural colored salt dough. Place 2 cups flour in a mixing bowl & 1 Cup table salt 3/4 – 1 cup of juice (I juiced for this flower, the green is spinach juice and the magenta is prickly pear juice) Water varies due to humidity so add juice till makes a dough like play dough Item can be embellished with seeds pressed in to the dough. Here in Arizona I let them air dry – but they can be placed in a 300* oven for about 20 min. I glue a pin back to the back when completely dry.

This week my only son graduated from high school. We had a party that I made all of the centerpieces for the table from Upcycled Jars & cans.
When his guest came the hat was were they placed their card for him. I put together two composition note books full of photos of him and mementos I collected though the years. The memories were from kindergarten to high school graduation.
At his party we had a Photo Booth our guest had a blast with my props that I made and some came from the local dollar store.

Tee Shirt Hack - Bleach Pen, Sharpie and Cut into Tank Top

I wrote the quote I liked on the Tee Shirt with pencil.
Then I used the Bleach Pen to trace over the pencil.
Waited about 5-10 minutes, till you can see the bleach removing the color like you would want it.
Rinsed out the bleach completely and dry shirt completely.
Before using Sharpie on shirt ensure that it is dry. Trace outlines as you are inspired to do so.
Then I used this diagram to cut the Tee Shirt into a tank. I cut mine straight across at the bottom.
