DIY Vegi Stamps

I'm back! School is finally out and I am ready to start posting again! This is a super fun and simple craft perfect for making cards or gifts!

• Paper
• Paint (I used a mettalic green, purple, and pink)
• Vegetables! (I used bok choy stems)
• A tray or lid to mix your paint

1. Prepare your paper and paints!

Pour a bit of each paint into your tray and make sure your

 paper is out and ready for stamping! 

2. Place your stamps face down in the paint color of your choice

and twirl them around to make sure they are fully coated.

3. Press your stamps face down onto your paper, and

press them down to be sure every part is imprinted onto your paper

(It is good to do a few practice ones before you start on a final)

4.  Repeat and make a masterpiece!

Have fun! I will post more soon!

DIY- a spoonful of chocolate!

It is my sister's birthday today and it is her sweet 16! Sweet 16...... SWEET! Unfortunately she is trying to eat healthily this year, but a spoonful of chocolate at a time won't hurt her......

• Plastic spoons
• 1 cup Chocolate of your choice
• Wax paper
• A cookie sheet
• A microwave

And..... things to flavour!

Here are some ideas!

• Coconut Flakes
• Almond or peanut butter
• Orange zest
• Coffee or Espresso beans
• Pomegranate Seeds

1. Line your cookie sheet with the wax paper

2. Put your chocolate into a microwave safe bowl

3. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir well.

4. Microwave for another 30 seconds, then stir again until smooth

We do this because microwaves cook unevenly, and this will

make sure it doesn't burn. 

5. There are two ways of coating the spoons!

Dip it!

This one gives more of an even, glossy finish!

Spoon it in!

This one is good if you want the back of the spoon to be clean!

6. Add your toppings! Just push them in or sprinkle them on top!

Coconut!

Coffee!

Almond Butter!

For this one you have to spoon a little chocolate on top, 

smooth it out in a layer, spoon some almond butter on, 

and then add a top layer of chocolate! 

Then, top it off with slivered almonds!

Salted Semisweet!

Pomegranate!

Orange Zest!

7. Put them in the fridge to cool!

8. Decorate them!

You can tie a ribbon around them or decorate the handles of the spoons!

I just put them in a little decorative mug!

9. Enjoy life one spoonful at a time!

Happy Birthday Elena!
