Hi all!
The weekend passed... and left a good mark on my soul. I finally stocked up on jute, which instantly disappeared in the city. And then such luck, as many as 12 skeins and only 35 rubles each. Well, of course, I took everything! I just lived until the morning to run and buy, I was afraid that they would sell out. And my husband teased me so much that there would probably be a line for my jute.
I went into the store and decided to look at something else. But I myself walk between the counters, and my head is turned towards the jute, I’m afraid that no one will buy. I think, no, I have to go and get it, otherwise the store will not be a joy, and I’ll be in trouble I'm experiencing these.
And another inspiring news from a friend that they are expecting a fourth. On this wave, I actually ran home like a fifth-grader, despite the bags with groceries in my hands.
In order not to finish myself off with thoughts that I am the wrong mother, I try every holiday to keep the children busy with something, because in everyday life there is almost no time left for this and, most importantly, desires. We spent the last holidays like this and this way.
This winter we made toys.
My graying head gives me the opportunity to buy hair dye. And what remains of it are metal cases. More precisely, I leave them.
And the beginning comes again from childhood, when my friend and I twisted the same toothpaste plates into a tube, cut off a little hair from the end of the braid, inserted it into the tube and pressed it tightly, tightly with pliers. The result was a brush.
It was good for almost nothing, but what a pleasure it was to create it!
Here are our simple materials.
I thought that a medal would cope with the extrusion, but it turned out that it was much easier to circle a plate of dishes.
The sticks with a point at the end are torn sensors from mimino (that’s what we call it, it’s a device for determining either power or voltage). But a handle for felting with a broken needle (it’s blue in the photo) was quite suitable.
And now the most interesting thing: lightly pressing the stick, leave impressions in the foil.
Apparently the eldest is already growing up, he didn’t really like this activity. But Fedya got carried away.
It’s just better to draw a picture first, so that it’s easier for a small child to navigate.
But until the landmark was found, the hand poked just like that and from the heart.
And then the mother decided to make the child better.... she had to first pretend to be stupid, and then draw the outlines of the picture for him too.
Once done, it turned out to be even more interesting to press!
Well, my crafts.
This thin metal or foil can be cut well even with ordinary scissors. We have also decorated the edges.
And while the tree was standing in the water, it managed to put out a new bud...
Every year, when I see the city Christmas tree naked, only in lights, I start a song again about how they would give schools an assignment to make a toy for the Christmas tree. The children would make so much, there would be enough for all the Christmas trees in the region! But she stands again year after year, beautiful, fluffy, but without toys.
And I amuse myself with memories from childhood, when plastic toys hung on the Christmas tree: snow maidens, bears, bunnies. And these thoughts always smell of percussion caps, which were difficult to get, but what kind of women they made from a tiny pistol!
Imagine taking toothpaste and instead of toothpaste, coins fall out. In my opinion, surprise will come immediately from what you unexpectedly see.
But you can also use such a wallet as a hidden safe. Who would think of looking for money in Toothpaste?
What do we need
For materials you will need:
- Empty toothpaste;
- Lightning;
- Scissors;
- Threads;
- Needle.
Preparing a toothpaste tube
Take used toothpaste. If there is a small amount of paste in the tube, squeeze it out. Then we rinse and wash the paste out of the tube. We can not only wash it before cutting out the middle, but also after.
Preparing the zipper tube
Cut a slot for the zipper. Do not forget that the zipper has a small width (from 5 mm to 1 cm). In order for everything to look great, we cut out a gap in the form of an elongated rectangle, i.e. making it wider.
Remember! If you cut the zipper slot small, you can easily enlarge it, but you cannot make it smaller. Therefore, we measure the length of the zipper and the length of the cutout in the toothpaste tube. Everything should be the same and even.
Adjusting the zipper in the section of the tube
Let's try on the zipper in the section of the tube. We will try to fit the dimensions as accurately as possible. Make the slot larger if it is too small. Be careful and attentive in your actions.
Sewing:)
Before sewing the zipper to the tube, we decide on which side the zipper will close and open. After that, let's prepare the threads and needle. Let's open the zipper and start sewing on one of the sides first, then the remaining one.
Homemade product from a toothpaste tube is ready!
Now we can be proud of our product. Only you will have such a coin wallet.
I want to show another example of a wallet, but instead of a black zipper, I also made a white zipper. White lightning is almost invisible unless you look closely at it. The choice is yours! Good luck with your new ideas!
In this material we will present to your attention a review of a video, the author of which presents an interesting way to reuse a tube of used toothpaste. It can be used to make fun of a friend or brother, because you can pour mayonnaise or something else into an empty tube.
For this we need:
- food foil;
- empty tube;
- iron;
- filler.
According to the author, this method can be useful on a hike, when it is important to save space in your backpack. This way you can fill a small tube with shampoo and not have to carry around a bottle of shampoo. There are many applications for this method. You just have to use your own imagination. Let's get started.
First, cut off the bottom of the tube and thoroughly rinse it from the inside.
Next, fill the tube with any filler, for example, shampoo, leaving about 3-4 cm from the edge.
Bend the edge one or more times.
Wrap the resulting bend with food foil. This is necessary so that the iron does not stick to the plastic.
Place the tube on a wooden block and iron it thoroughly. At the same time, the iron should have been turned on at maximum temperature.
You need to iron it until the plastic is completely stuck to each other.
After successful ironing, wait until the plastic and foil cool down, then remove the foil.
The tube is ready for reuse.
Landscaping of the playground
What is a garden plot or cottage without a children's playground? Naturally, you arranged it for your children. All that remains is to complete the project: decorate the site beautifully with plants. This work is not as simple as it seems to you at first glance. Many plants that have long been known and familiar to us turn out to be poisonous and pose a rather serious threat to the health of the child. Such plants include aconite, periwinkle, lily of the valley, foxglove, bulbous and many other plants. Plants that have thorns are dangerous for a child: all types of roses, barberry, hawthorn, rose hips, raspberries and blackberries. Marigolds, chrysanthemum, carnations, phlox, jasmine, bird cherry and lilies can cause asthma attacks in children prone to allergies. Therefore, before you start landscaping the playground, you need to carefully study the characteristics of the plants that you are going to plant.

Let's draw!
Are you low on paints? But it doesn't matter if you have toothpaste at home.
If you want, I can teach you how to paint with toothpaste paints.
To work, you will need a sheet of white thick paper in A4 or A3 format, bristle brushes, a palette, watercolor paints, a tube of toothpaste, a simple pencil, an eraser and a glass of water.
Now squeeze out some toothpaste after dropping a few drops of water into each watercolor cell. Then wait a little, and when the colors become soft, mix them with toothpaste.
You should end up with a thick, opaque paint. Now start drawing directly, put a sheet of paper in front of you with a pencil drawing and create.
First, we paint large objects on the sheet. I have the sea, sand and sky, and then I can move on to the details.
As a result of this work, you can get a wonderful picture. I called mine "In the Land of Magnolias"
You can paint anything with paste paints: portraits, spring and autumn landscapes, a bouquet of flowers.
It was the bouquet of tulips that my student Nastya painted with such unusual colors.
The paints are unusual and thick, so there is a certain feeling of resemblance to oil paints; the works look unusual and original.
You just need to remember that after drying, a layer of such paint becomes very fragile, so in order to preserve it, you need to fix it by sprinkling it with hairspray!
