DIY Spring Wind Chime
What you will need:
1 Lg Bag Colored Plastic cups/shot glasses (small)
1 Lg Bag Colored Plastic Beads (your choice of color & style)
Muffin Tin (non sticking, silicone)
Metal Loop (or make your own)
Fishing Line
Heat grill to 425 F.
Put a plastic cup in each place on tin. When grill is ready put muffin tin on grill rack. After melting first cups add another cup (or some beads) and melt completely. Allow to cool. The plastic sets hard and will sound like glass instead of plastic when clicked together.
Drill holes in the sides of each colored plastic with a normal drill bit. Run fishing line through each colored plastic alternating with beads. First fishing line should be approx 11cm then add 1cm of fishing line after each line. Your last & longest line should be approx 17. When you have threaded all colored plastic including beads then tie fishing line to metal loop, with each line. When all are tied then separate them accordingly.
**Notes:
Melting plastic puts off an awful odor so this project is recommended to be done on a grill instead of an oven. If you choose to do this in your oven, please make sure you have good ventilation.
How to Grow a Potted Pineapple
First, use a sharp knife to take off the top of the pineapple. Be sure to include a piece of the shell in your cut.
Second, place the `crown` in a glass of water. Keep it for a period of 3 days in a lighten area.
Third, when you see little roots coming out your glass-pineapple, plant the whole thing in a big jar. Water twice a week at most.
After 2 years your plant will be ready to be harvested. Try not to overreact with irrigation: the pineapple plant can be watered twice a week right in the middle of the crown, as long as it is inside your house.
Rice Krispie Treat Ornaments

6 cups Rice Krispies
Rolos
Tube of white frosting
Melt butter and marshmallows together. When completely melted divide marshmallows into separate pans and add food coloring. (Add enough to get the color you desire)
Stir in 1/2 the Rice Krispies into each container.
I used a 1/2 cup measuring cup to form balls.

Homemade Bouncy Balls
2 cups
Measuring spoons
A stir stick
2 tbsp hot water
1/2 tsp borax
1 tbsp glue
1 tbsp corn starch
Food coloring (optional)
Pour the water and borax into the first cup and stir the mixture until it is dissolved.
Pour the glue, cornstarch and food coloring into the second cup and mix. Then add the mixture from the first cup into the second cup.
Let the ingredients sit for 15 seconds then stir.
Once the mixture becomes difficult to stir, scoop it out of the cup, and roll into a ball. Enjoy!!!
