How to Make a Simple Cat Toy

 

Does your cat love toy play? I will show you how to make a simple cat toy out of household objects. 

Step one: You will need a small square piece of fabric.

Step two: You will need to collect a small amount of lint, out of your dryer.

Step three: Roll the lint into a ball shape. Put the lint in the middle of the fabric square.

Step four: Bring up the corners of the fabric square, so you can no longer see the lint ball.

Step five: Get a rubber band and wrap it around the top of your fabric.

Step six: Next get a piece of yarn, about the length of your arm span. Wrap it around the top of the lint ball and tie it.

Now you have a simple toy for your cat.

How to make Mint Ice cubes, Sugar Free

 

Have you ever had mint water? Well, it is a simple but delicious drink. One of our long-time friend turned my mom on to it who then got me to try it. I licked it so much I put my own spin on it that I am sharing with you today. I hope you will follow along and make this quick, easy, and oh so delicious recipe. It's great for a hot summer day. They are called "Mint Ice Cubes". They will give any drink that refreshing pop it needs.

First, you want to pick some mint. Don't pick each leaf individually, it will make it harder to get them out of the water later. Cut the mint down to new growth, which will also help the plant produce new as you take the old off. Take two or three sticks of mint like that. Now that you have your mint you can move on to the next step. Get a pot of water out, and put it in medium heat on the stove. Let it get up to a boil, once it is up to a boil put your mint in, and let it go for one to three minutes. The water will probably turn green, that's ok, it's just taking on the mint flavor. The longer you let it go the more mint flavor it will get.

Now you want to take the mint out. There may be little pieces of mint left floating, if there is you will want to get a strainer and a glass container    (glass because it is going to be very hot, you don't want the plastic to melt).

Now you will want to let it cool. Once it is cool you can fill your ice cube trays. you want to fill each of your ice cubes in your tray half full with mint water. Then you want to get some regular water and fill the ice cubes, the rest of the way to the top. Put them in the freezer until they are frozen and pop them out. You will want to get a ziplock or any type of container you like to store them in the freezer. 

                                                                 Here's a video to help.

Now when you want a cold drink you can pop a couple of your mint ice cubes into your drink. It is a fun and fast way to have a refreshing, cool, sugar-free, drink

She finds out she may not be the only one the has the gift. Does she tell her family what she can see or will she be putting them in danger?

Easy, DIY tie-dye shirt

 I will show you a step-by-step process, of how to tie die a tee shirt at home the easy way. We are going to do this a little bit differently than the traditional tie-dye method. So if your ready and up for a little artistic challenge, follow along with me!

_shirt

_spray bottles

_paint or fabric paint

_ rubber bands?

Step 1.  Get a shirt, ti tie-dye.

Step 2.  You will need some paints of your color choice. I recommend fabric paints for optimal distribution and wear.

Step 3.  You will need some spray bottles, to put the paint in. Fill the bottle 1/5 full of paint. One color in each bottle

Step 4.  Fill the rest of the bottle with water.

Step 5. put the caps on and shake,shake,shake. make sure the paint is all mixed in. 

Step 6. hang your shirt somewhere outside, (trust me if you don't want a mess you can't skip this step).

Step 7. twist the shirt and tie it with a rubber band, this will give you a spiral effect. (this is an optional step)

step 8. Spray the shirt front till you are satisfied with it.

Step 9. repeat steps eight and nine on back.

Step 10. Hang it somewhere and let it dry for 48 hours (indoors or out) before washing. 

Tip: The closer the spray bottle is the more concentrated it will be, the farther back it is it finer mist.
