Lunchable Jar

Lunchable Jars

You Will Need:

• 2 same mouthed mason jars. Wide mouth 8 oz jars are perfect because 8 oz is a serving size of most things. However, once you’ve made the connector rings, you can swap out ANY jar of the same mouth size, 8 oz tall one or a short 4oz; whatever!
• Lead Free Solder.
• Soldering iron.
• Sand Paper
  
  1. Take off the rings to your jars. Sand them on top to remove any coatings that might prevent the solder sticking.
  
  2. Using your soldering iron place “blobs” of solder at even intervals near the interior hole of the rings. Solder is pretty easy to work with, just stick it on the iron until it melts!
  3. Place the two rings together. Use your soldering iron to heat up those blobs while holding the rings steady. They will melt then re-solidify  forming a dishwasher safe, permanent bond!
  
  4. Once the interior hole has been secured, melt blobs of solder at even intervals on the outside.
  
  5. That’s it!! Start hooking up amazing lunch combinations!

River Rock Fun

Hi Temp Glue Gun or a strong glue epoxy
Scissors
River Rock
Shelf Liner in a matching color
Step 1:  Cut the shelf liner
You can make any size or shape you want.  Although I knew I wanted a circle, I still started with a nice big rectangle. 

Step 2: A Dry Run
Before gluing, place the rocks on the mat trying to find rocks that form a somewhat close fit.  It doesn't have to be perfect!  If you want to use contrasting rock colors to add a design, initials, or a pattern, begin there.

Step 3: Begin Gluing
Once you are satisfied with your pattern, glue it down one rock at a time.  (Please note that it you are using sheet liner only, the adhesive will run through it!  Protect your work surface!)  Don't be surprised if your pattern or letter slowly shifts due to gluing the rocks in a slightly different location than before.  No big deal.  Once your pattern is secured move on to the background.  It will be tempting to go straight to glue here, but give it a dry run first, then glue it.  Once you have finished the mat, trim any excess sheet liner and...

Voila!

A few other uses are:mats, bathroom, kitchen flooring back splash, boot tray.

Kusudama Paper Ball

1. Paper – 60 square pieces of paper, all of the same size. My squares are 3,5 cm x 3,5 cm but you can make them bigger, smaller squares would be rather hard to fold. For every flower you will need 5 pieces. 2. Ruler 3. Pencil 4. Glue – the glue I use have two nice properties: (1) it does not dry very quickly which allows small corrections when necessary (2) being initially white it turns translucent while drying 5* Scissors 6* Beads (optionally) Use them to add some extra glamor. 7. Toothpick – to apply the glue.

So basically, now you have to glue your pedals together.

Voila!
