Sunday Slime

Halloween is my most favorite holiday and this year I am determined to decorate!

For inspiration I turned to Pinterest. Oh, goodness! That website that is both a blessing and a curse! For the past several weekends I've researched hundreds of Halloween crafts and the resulting Halloween decors. I found a great many craft that I wanted to try. After trips to both Michael's, AC Moore and a couple of Dollar Tree stores I'm well on my Halloween crafting and decorating way!

Today I decided to involve Cade in my crafting. Today was slime making day.

The first batch of slime was glitter slime. We followed these directions from The 36th AVENUE.


This was the first batch I've ever tried to make so I was about to experiment. We followed the instructions to the letter. And while the glittery color is really cool, we didn't exactly get slime. What we got instead was more like a stiff glittery blob.

In stuffing the blob into baby food jars, Cade discovered the real fun. Each time he pushed into the jar, it made a farting noise.

As you can imagine, Cade deemed this batch a success.

Now, I also bought regular glue and some neon colored food coloring so we could make different slime. For this we used this recipe from A Pumkin And A Princess, sans the glow in the dark paint.

This batch was absolutely perfect! Definitely the consistency of slime. As you can see, Cade had a lot of fun letting the slime ooze all over.

This was a very easy and extremely fun Halloween project.

Clothespin Magnets

Here's a very inexpensive, quick and easy craft.

I found packages of cute clothespins in the $1.00 bin at Michael's several months ago. I had several ideas on how to use them. Last night I picked up some magnetic tape (a .5 in x 30 in roll was also a buck) and decided to turn a pack of the clothespins into fridge magnets.

You'll need:

1. A pack of clothespins
2. Magnetic tape
3. Scissors
4. 5 minutes

You'll need to cut a total of 8 small pieces off the magnetic tape. You'll want to cut the magnet piece slightly smaller than the clothespin. I just eyeballed the size.

The hardest part is peeling the tape of the magnetic piece. Once the backing is removed, place the sticky side down on your clothespin and give a little squeeze so the magnet piece will adhere.

Voila! Cute fridge magnets!
