Best Laid Plans

I totally have this great blog post for today, but of course it isn't finished its a really cool recipe for a DIY clay. But here's the issue, I made a bowl with the clay and I have all the directions and pics but the clay isn't dry yet! UGH! And I can't finish the post until I finish the bowl and I can't finish the bowl until it dries some more! You know sometimes this blogging world gets tough! So many posts so little time to do it all in! I need to get my stuff together I think! I would love to have like a months worth of post all done and ready to go! Wouldn't that be awesome? To be ahead of the game? Even though I've been doing this for a year I have yet to make myself a real schedule, and stick to it! 

For today since I'm behind schedule but I sill want you to have something to look at I thought you could maybe check out some older posts.

BEAD BOWLS


Bead Bowls

If you are a Pinterest addict like me you’ve probably seen the bead bowls all over the place. I know it was one of the first things I “pinned”! I would link it back to the original source but the one I pinned isn't there anymore. I just took what I liked best from all the other ones and went for it! I love that it’s a kid friendly craft! I can just see Grandparents all over are going to be getting bead bowls for Christmas! I love that there is no right way to do them; it is a random art project! Or if you or your kiddos wanted you could make them a little more ordered, all one color, a few colors or just random placing of colors (that’s what I chose) I also loved that this is a very budget friendly craft! I only spent 2 dollars! Yeah I just realized that I may have over used the word "love" in this post but really it's such a great craft what's not to love ;)

 

Here’s what you need!     

Plastic beads (I scored mine at the Dollar Tree 2 bags)

Oven Safe Bowl

Cooking Spray

 Directions

Spray bowls with cooking spray, dump beads into the bowl and smoosh them down. They will start to move up the bowl just keep pressing and they keep going up. When the beads are the height you want them remove any extra beads or add beads if you want it higher!

Place in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it, this is the part that an Adult should do! When they are melted take out of the oven and let cool. Then place bowl in a sink of cool water, your bowl should pop right out! Rinse off the oil and Enjoy your new bowl…
