2 Easy DIY's

DIY's are always fun because you feel accomplished when you are done. These DIY ideas are easy and fun to make!
The first is glitter jars. Take a clear smooth jar and cut a heart (or any shape) out on a piece of paper. Lightly glue this into the jar, keeping in mind that you will be removing it later. Next, spray the inside of the jar with spray glue. Take any fine glitter dust you like and put a few spoonfuls into the jar. Cover the jar, and shake. Once the jar is evenly coated with glitter, take the excess glitter out and throw it away. Take out the shape you put in and viola, its done! You can put candles, paper clips, anything you want into this jar!
The next idea is a bit more time consuming, but is super cozy! Start by taking two pieces of fleece (I buy them at Joanne's fabric) and have them each be about 5ft by 5ft. This will be blanket, so choose a size you like. The ends will shrink a bit, so add an inch or too, to the size you want. For the fleece you will want one solid color, and one patterned color. Place these on top of one another. Using fabric scissors, on the end of the fleece start cutting strips. To do this, cut lines into the fabric 2 or 3 inches deep, making sure the lines are each 1 or 2 inches away from one other. You are cutting into both pieces when you do this. When you have done this all around the blanket, start tying! Once everything is cut you will have 1 or 2 inch strips. Take one of these strips and tie a double knot with the two colors (top and bottom layers). Don't tie two of the same color together. With the double knot, if you only have enough room for one knot, do one. You want some piece of the fleece still showing at the end of the strip. Do this all around the blanket, and you are done!
From now on I will be posting every other day, but will have new polls and things up every day. Almost time for another week to start!
As always,
