Tuesday Tutorial Treat #2 - - - Snowglobes Kids DIY

This week's tutorial is about snowglobes, i did two experiments 

  

1st one .....

 

             2nd one....

Experiment 1

its a simple nice snowglobe, which kids can make and enjoy. My little one helped me with this & enjoyed alot.

Material & Instructions

1. Two empty baby food containers

2. Two toys, small enough to fit in the jars.

3. Water

4. Glycerine

5. Glitter

Selected these two toys from my son's toy box. 

Make sure to select something which can fit easily in the jars leaving enough space on the top.

 Then attached these toys to bottle lid, using hot glue gun.

 Attached both toys with lid.

Added water, little bit of glycerine and silver gliter in baby food container.

Once the liquid was ready and toys were glued to lids.Glued the sides of the lid and screwed as tigh as I could. 

ta da readyyyyyyyyyyyyy :)

 it is simple & easy. dont take more then 20 minutes.

Experiment 2

Ok so now comes the sad story.... snowglobes with toys, is a common craft and I wanted to try something new, so I tried customized picture snowglobe.... it took alot of time as I dont know much about computers and for this, i needed a picture measuring 16cm by 4cm.

 

After printing, I wanted to laminate these pictures but it was not available so I tried sealing them well with contact paper & later ironed them...

 then after attaching both ends of the sealed picture by contact paper, inserted them in baby food containers... It was looking awesome... :(

This is what I saw next morning :( pictures were wet inside contact paper :( as water broke seal and entered inside the contact paper...



Its not looking as good in the pictures as it was actually looking, when I finished it... will try again by laminating the pictures. hopefully that will work :)

Have a great day

Valentine's Day Decor - Table Mat

Hi All,
These are the diy Table Mats i made on last valentine's day. My hubby loved them :)

 Table Mats for a romantic evening

 

 Be very careful while using vinyl sheet, it sticks very fast & very hard. Secondly never use glue to attach paper to foam sheet. This was my first attempt so u can see both of these mistakes in this one.

Material I used.

Its, a very simple project. Material I used are,
> White Paper sheet
> Pink Color Wrapping sheet
> Black Color Foam Sheet, for the base
> Colored Markers
> (& my fav) Transparent Vinyl Sheet

You can find Tutorial here.

Enjoy Making.

Today I finally decorated the cake giveaway boxes...

all set

Ok, So now tutorial...
Cake boxes I made of orange color sheet tutorial u can find here.
Mustaches & Lips give away tutorial you can find here.

I used these adorable little bee chocolates to decorate cake boxes. The box cost me 16 DHS... and there were more then 50 chocolates in that box.

chocolates, used to decorate favor boxes

spare chocolates

cardboard, for the base

Used this card board, as a base of the cake.

cake box with double sided tape

Used double sided tape to attach boxes with the base.

packing material, to support the next layer

 Keep some distance between the boxes, to set 11 boxes in 1st layer. Once the 1st layer was set on the cardboard, put packing material in the center which will support the next layers.

1st layer

 11 favour boxes were used to make the first layer.

Second Layer

 Once 1st layer is done, start second layer using 8 boxes (with no bee chocolates on the top), keeping boxes close this time. Use 2 double sided tapes on both sides & 1 at the bottom.

3rd layer

 Use the same instructions now start 3rd layer (with 8 boxes having bee chocolates on the top).

Alomost done

 Fix last piece carefully.

Ribbon, used to keep the boxes togther

 Then Brown color ribbon was used with each layer (3 circles) to keep the boxes togther & avoid distance between them.

definatly boxes r full of sweets & chocolates :)

add a little ribbon bow on the top.

AND DONE...
