One of my fun goals for the summer is to do crafts and things from Pinterest since I have a little more time on my hands. Well so far, two of my best friends and I have been trying lots of different things. There has been quite a few successes and one that didn't work out so well...
One craft we found on Pinterest was bubble painting. You simply mix paint, dish soap, and water in a cup. Then you blow bubbles until they get to the top of the cup, and then you pop the bubbles with the paper, and they pop onto the paper. For some reason, our blue paint would not make bubbles at all. I tried blowing the bubbles, and I ended up with a splatter of blue on my face. I sure was glad we decided to use washable paint! This was a super easy craft that took very little time to do. I thought it made cute simple cards to give to people!
I'm using a lot of the craft time I spend with my friends to make decorations for my floor next year. My floor verse is Revelation 21:23, which says, "The city does not need the sun or the moon, for the glory of God gives it light, and the lamb is its lamp." So the decorations will the be the progression of the sun as you walk down the hallway. My friend and I made two poster boards for the night time part. It was fun to splatter paint with toothbrushes. My friend Emily and I have never been artists, whereas our friend Jenny is very talented at art. So Emily and I were quite proud of ourselves for painting a moon!
A Pinterest craft that Jenny found for us uses toilet paper tubes to make fun wall art. You first flatten the toilet paper tubes, then cut them into smaller pieces (we did four 1-inch sections on each tube). You then hot glue them together in the design you would like. After that you can spray paint it any color. The three of us had an absolute blast with this craft!

Our biggest pinterest fail was making jello cookies They are pretty much just sugar cookies with jello powder added in, but we made a few mistakes. First of all, we were shocked by the large amount of butter called for (1.5 cups), so we just put in a 3/4 of a cup. Then I dropped the vanilla extract bottle into the batter, so we had a little too much vanilla. And then, we ran out of white flour, so we decided wheat flower would work. We then realized that we should have put more butter in because the dough was so crumbly, so we tried to add more butter, but that didn't work so well...The recipe had us making four different flavors of cookies, so we sectioned the dough off into four parts. The recipe said to add just two teaspoons of jello powder to each section. That didn't seem like very much to us, and in the pictures online the dough looked so colorful. So we added quite a bit more jello powder, practically the whole packet. So the dough was full of little jello granules, and our hands were covered in jello. We make little dough balls and baked the cookies, but nothing changed much to them in the oven. We tried each flavor (orange, lime, raspberry, and berry blue), and they were all pretty disgusting. They tasted like jello-flavored play-dough. They were not pleasant to eat, but we had so many laughs while making them!
