Glittens Instructable


After a couple of re-do's, I successfully made my son some glittens :)  He wanted them to be longer than normal and I like how that turned out. He's thrilled, I'm exhausted lol  My biggest tip is make sure the stretch is going in the right direction, width not length. That made allllllll the difference ;)  I will definitely be making Skinny a pair of these and of course myself some too. Maybe tomorrow...

(also please ignore my not quite all the way painted wall) :D

100 Instructables projects

Here's my list of 100 Instructables I want to complete :)
  1.  Best Scratching Post Ever
  2. (Unused) Kitty Litter Facial Mask  
  3. Make Your Own Sidewalk Chalk
  4. Terrarium for frogs (I have 3 baby bullfrogs and have been meaning to upgrade tanks...)
  5. Lid keepers for pots and pans (so simple, why didn't I think of this??)
  6. Drinking glasses from wine bottles (could also make vases and candle holders, etc)
  7. Keeping with wine bottle crafts, cool accent lights, (I like to forage in the recycling bins for cool bottles :)
  8. Awesome fake rock/basking spot for Spike.
  9.  Self watering recycled (albeit ugly) plant pots I'm thinking I could use these in smaller scale to plant tree seeds, last time I tried they died from me not watering them before we went camping. This might help prevent such an event from re-occuring :)
  10. Another awesome way to work with recycled glass, very cool after being in the forest and seeing tons of broken bottles and glass. I definitely plan to try this method of making beads.
