My grandparents anniversary is coming up, and I have gathered beads that represent or remind me of each of the grandchildren. Now the question is, what do I do with them? I had thought I might make a necklace (my grandmother loves stuff like that), but then what about my grandfather? So the question is: What can I make, using beads, that would be a good present for my grandparents' anniversary?

I have taken scrapbooking paper and decoupaged one of those notebooks that you use in college. The black and white checked ones called composition notebooks. I used modge poge and it turned out beautifully. Well my daughter has to make a recipie book for a brownie patch and I thought I could use one of those folders that have the 3 ring binder type in the center. That way she could add recipies easily. Can you decoupage one of those folders or is it just better to have her decorate it with paint and markers? Does anyone have any good ideas to decorate something that will be cheap but nice for a recipie holder.

the paint needs to be permanent, non toxic (once dry) dishwasher safe (if humanly possible) and dry somewhat transparently to resemble a stained glass effect. is there any product out there like this?

I thought it should be fine to hem my skirt with fabric glue. I applied the absolute minimum amount of glue in small dots, but it soaked through to the right side of the skirt, and dried as very visible dark spots. Shouldn't it be thicker and not soak through and ruin the way the fabric looks? Is this normal or should I return it to the store and try a new one?

i want to have a paintball party but I am not sure of the souvenirs, i decided that I would give give away these real but dead scorpions inside an acrylic case as keychains and then at the back engraved text that would say "Thanks.. blah blah.. etc" but i asked for the suggestion of my bf and he told me that it's good but it has nothing to do with paintball party.

It discouraged me that my idea doesn't sound too great. but i only asked one person.

the scorpion thing well speaks more about me rather than the event. I love scorpions and I keep them as pets..

will it work great for a paintball party? i don't want my guests to think the same as my bf but as much as possible i want them to say that they enjoyed my party and the souvenirs were awesome too.

Like the glass slippers in Cinderella? I think with the technology nowadays, that could slightly be possible, cause couldn't they make the glass super tough so it wouldn't break when one walks in the slippers? A shoemaker/glassblower could make them, right? I mean, we do have the little glass slippers, so making big ones could be possible?

ps. I didn't know where to put my question...but glass slippers sound kind of like a craft don't they :)?
