Bitter Neighbor

In my neighborhood, we meet at the garbage cans to talk after a long day working on the yard. At least one neighbor will usually come over with a beer or other beverage in hand. Last week, our neighbor brought "Bitter Neighbor" over to us as a joke. I thought it was hilarious and think this would be a great gag gift! 

By the way, I love my neighbors!! We just had one family move to South Dakota on Saturday and 90% of our block was in tears at the going away party... We are that close!

Happy Wednesday!!

Rein Beer

To make Rein- Beer you need five materials:

1.     Bottle of IBC Root Beer or a bottle of Alcohol

2.     Ribbon

3.     2 googly eyes

4.     Red or Brown pipe cleaners

5.     Red Pom- poms (mold into antlers by creating loops)

All of these materials can be found by taking a one-stop trip to Target or you can go to Michael’s where they have everything you need except for the Root Beer. You are also going to need a hot glue gun or a bottle of Elmer’s glue for this project. 

**I made Rein- Beer for my Demonstration Speech. If you would like to view a full set of instructions please view my video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tp2y_PbRFo

Mosaic Frame

 

Beads I chose at Michael's.

 

Sanded down the frame a bit so it wasn't so glossy.

 

Added Adhesive for the beads to stick.

 

A few hours later I added in the sanded grout.

 

Done with the grout! 

Cleaning off the beads.

 

All dry so I added in a picture. 

I wasn't sure which picture to go with so I put the second one in and the first one is behind it in case she wants to switch it out. 

All done and ready for Cassie!
