Then dip a toothpick in dish soap &amp; stick it in the milk. The colored milk will move away from the toothpick. It's fun to "chase" the colors around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pinterest-craft-or-recipe-have-you-done-that-turned-out-fantastic-1#post-851300 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:22:33 +0000 jmarionsmith 851300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: thank you!! i was sooo proud of him! here is the general directions he used, but he didn't follow exactly. </p> <p><a href="http://www.girlinair.com/2012/07/how-to-make-hand-painted-united-states.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.girlinair.com/2012/07/how-to-make-hand-painted-united-states.html</a></p> <p>we don't have a silhouette machine so dh just found an outline of the us map on google images, blew it up on the computer, and printed it in pieces. he then cut out the pieces and taped them together. once the boards were stained he just put the map on top of them and outlined it with a fine paintbrush. it was tedious but it worked really well. let me know if you have any more questions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pinterest-craft-or-recipe-have-you-done-that-turned-out-fantastic-1#post-851265 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:11:35 +0000 ladybee 851265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jmarionsmith: um I love that!

It took forever to get the water/corn starch/food coloring balance just right, but right now our drive way looks like Lisa Frank got a hold of it, lol.

We did a baking soda painting craft the DD liked. Colored water using eye droppers on baking soda. Or was it cornstarch? I can't remember! ETA: I think we did the same craft as you, minus the vinegar. I must have missed that part, lol.</p> <p>[attach=566/13/moa8xi.600x490.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pinterest-craft-or-recipe-have-you-done-that-turned-out-fantastic-1#post-850481 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 08:20:07 +0000 Dandelion 850481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: That sounds like a great idea!

It is AWESOME! It is just corn starch, water, food coloring. DD loves it!! We went through so many boxes of corn starch because she loved it so much (as did the neighbor's kids!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pinterest-craft-or-recipe-have-you-done-that-turned-out-fantastic-1#post-850353 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 07:33:53 +0000 MsLipGloss 850353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made no-sew tutus (and fairy wands) for my nieces . . . they really turned out lovely. I only have cell phone pics, but will share them anyway. I used three colors of tulle for each knot, all layered on top of one another (and developed a pattern for using the colors so that there would be a variance in color and an even distribution of color throughout the tutu), and I had so much fun doing it!</p> <p>[attach=2207/13/moa5ki.448x600.Tutu1.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=2207/13/moa5kj.448x600.Tutu2.JPG] </p>
