For the gardner who knew: pennies in the garden repel slugs and make hydrangeas blue. I am curious to find out if this is true.

No more mosquitos!! Cut the top (just before the start of the cone) off a 2 liter bottle. Invert the cone and place it inside the straight part of the bottle. Glue the two pieces together, using a glue or silicon. Add 1 tsp yeast and 1/2 cup sugar to some luke warm water, and pour the mixture into the bottle. Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide that you exhale. The yeast feeds off the sugar and emits the same gas, so the mosquito enters the bottle, thinking she will find food there.

Apparently oranges burn like candles. No messy wax, and no wick required. Definitely trying this.

I love this idea. Start a savings shadow box with a picture of what they're saving for. This would also be cool for the kids, to teach them to save for something.

What a great idea! I never know what to do with those silly things....

Use pushpins for no sticking when painting. Soo smart!! Who thinks of this stuff

GOOD TO KNOW: a great tip for making a wreath: go to the plumbing department at LOWE'S and grab a six foot long piece of foam tubing for $.97!! snip the length you want and duct tap ethe ends together. Foam ones are SO expensive!

paint stirrers pendant lamp!

Krylon’s Looking Glass spray paint, which dries into a mirror-like finish. First, spray the body of your plain glass with clean water. While the surface is wet, spray it thoroughly with Looking Glass spray paint. The water will prevent the paint from completely adhering to the surface – exactly what’s required to achieve the characteristically blotchy look of genuine mercury glass. Let the paint dry overnight, and repeat the process to the darkness of your liking.
