4/8/2021 0 Comments Scrappy Vegetable Broth Did you know that it is very easy to make vegetable broth? It is the perfect way to use carrot peels, onion ends, celery tops, and other vegetable scraps. We save our scraps in a reusable container in the freezer. Once it is full, we put it on the stove in water and cook on medium heat for 2-3 hours. Strain out the solids (which we feed to the worms) and that is all there is to it. Additional benefits of making your own broth: tastes better than store bought, less expensive, and sodium content is controllable. You can freeze or can the broth but we end up using ours so quickly, we store it in the fridge. We cook rice and pasta in it as well as use it for a soup base. 2/1/2021 0 Comments Basket Full of Kisses Materials Needed: - 2 paper scraps* at least 3"x9" (paper A & paper B)
*I used some leftover wallcovering and a page from a magazine. Two different colors of paper looks best.
11/27/2020 0 Comments Plastic Cap Holiday Decorations The holidays are a great opportunity to be creative and use repurposed materials for decorations and gifts. This year I'm reusing plastic bottle caps to create decorative gifts. To make the wreath, arrange your caps first to plan your design. Cut a piece of cardboard into a ring to create a backing. The secret is in the glue - I recommend E6000 for plastics. Glue the pieces to the backing and to each other. Finish it off with a bow. The tree is made by stacking caps together. Using a hammer and nail, punch holes into the centers. String the caps onto a piece of wire in descending order. Shape the top into a star using pliers. Use broken costume jewelry pieces to create ornaments. |
