Paper Lunch Bag Accessorized!!

I made some gift bags out of brown paper sacs. I'm sure they sell white ones, but I had brown ones. The first thing I did was get a paper sac, some contact paper, and I cut the contact paper into Easter designs. Simple enough. Then, I put them onto the paper lunch sacs. Here is the result:

I'm sorry, it's not a better picture. I scanned it into my computer.

Dishcloth Bunnies--Great for EASTER!

I recently got asked for some cheap, and easy, crafts people can do with small children. Well, my mom has always made these... well, since I can remember. I tried to take as good of pictures as possible. If you make these, and take better ones, please send them to me so I can post them. I will credit you, of course! I don't have googly eyes or pom poms, but you would add them to this creation (or leave them off if you are making them for REALLY young children that may try to eat them).



Okay, first, you gather your supplies:

Washcloth

Ribbon

Egg

Scissors

Googly eyes and PomPoms (If you're going to add them).






Lay cloth diagonally, and roll from one corner to the next. Your wash cloth should look like this:

Now, pinch corners together, to make your washcloth look like this:

Fold the top part back, until the corners are about 2/3 the way up. It should look like this:

Tie ribbon around area your fingers are holding it. It should look like this:

Now, you will want to move the stuff around a little bit, so that the face looks more even, and the ears are both facing the same direction. Then, it will look like this:

Put egg in back, and Viola! You are done!

*NOTE: If the egg doesn’t fit, you can gently pull the hole to be bigger. Being gentle is what it’s all about here, or else it will fall apart. *

Tiger's Eggs--For the PICKY eater!

Okay, here's the story behind this one. I first realized that when you baste an egg, it looks much prettier. Then, in highschool quite a few years back, I had a friend over. I was cooking breakfast, when she came in and started ordering me around in MY kitchen. Yeah, it irritated me, too! Anyways, one thing that was GOOD (the ONLY thing, actually) about her trying to run the cooking was that I learned the trick you are about to learn! The reason I say this recipe is GREAT for the picky eater is because my nephews REFUSED to eat the eggs that I made them. I'm not sure why, since they'd liked em like that for YEARS! Anyways, I remembered that irritating day in highschool, and I asked them how they'd like TIGER'S EGGS??? Know what they said? YES!!!! AWESOME!!!

Well, it's quite simple, actually!

What you will need:
  • Good frying pan, with a FLAT bottom, not overly curved up edges (no woks or anything like that). 
  • VERY small pan lid (I prefer glass because it allows you to see when the egg is done, though my mom prefers a metal one. It's all about preference, here.)
  • Plastic cup most the way full of water
  • Salt Shaker
  • Egg(s)
 Instructions:
Heat stove to med/high heat, and place pan on burner. After pan is heated, crack egg into pan, sprinkle salt onto egg, pour water into pan NEXT to egg, and place lid over egg and water. Watch as the egg cooks, since I'm not sure how long it takes to cook them to YOUR specifications. It doesn't take that long, though. Then, when egg is cooked to your preference, put on plate and serve. Enjoy!

***NOTE***
If you want LOTS of "stripes", apply lots of salt, if you want very little "stripes", apply very little salt. Simple as that.


Pictures were as best as I could get. Hope you enjoy. :D
