- Personal calendar:
- with a home printer, you can make the gift that will last all year. print 12 pictures and add calendar pages.
- Personal Message Board:
- with some very inexpensive elements, you can make a bulletin board for your wall or locker that will hold special messages, notes, and even photographs. You can choose the size, shape, and colors, and make it as elegant or playful as you like
- Memory Stickî Ornament:
- If you have old computer memory thatís useless now turn it into a keepsake ìMemory Stickî Ornament. You can print tiny photos that youíve taken throughout the year and stick them on both sides of the memory (using archival photo squares from walmart/scrapbooking stores, or double stick tape (although it may not last as long)). This makes a great keepsake ornament and itís already properly named.
You can also make:
Shaped Soap Bars
all you need is:
Mild Bar of Soap (I prefer Ivory)
Warm water
Cookie cutters
Grate 1 cup of soap off the bar. Pour it in medium sized mixing bowl. Start with 1/2 cut of warm water. Pour into the grated soap and knead to mix. Add more warm water, a little at a time, and continue to knead until all soap mixes in and it is the consistency of thick dough. If you want to make colored bars of soap that will be used for displaying only, experiment with mixing food coloring in with the water. If you want to color soap you can use, look for colorant at your craft store.
Once your water and soap is well blended, press mixture into cookies cutters. Set the cookie cutter on it's side so the soap dries on both sides, or flip it often. Put in a dry place to dry for about 24 hours. Gently pop your soap out of the cookie cutter.
