Rainbowfied Earbuds

We have two pairs of boring white iPhone earbuds at home. And my husband and I usually argue about them. So I decided to rainbowfy mine so they wouldn’t be confused with each other, tangle less and well look really really pretty.

You can find a tutorial here.

I didn’t use the tutorial, just used the idea. I also didn’t glue the ends, I weaved them in the same way you would weave in ends when you crochet or knitting.

It probably took a couple of hours while I watched Lady in the Water, a really weird movie by M. Night Shyamalan. The movie had potential but just fell flat for some reason.

Paper Crafts

I found this book [My big bumper book of model animals] when I was in Egypt a couple of weeks ago. Without thinking I grabbed it, I knew it was going to entertain the little one and I for a couple of hours. And it has been a lot of fun. It is the perfect thing to do with kids when you don’t want to clean up.

And then completely by chance I came across 3eyedbear and found Sofia, she is the blue haired girl [the red haired girl template can be found here].

The site has lots of other paper toys. All you need to do is print the pdf file then cut out the model and glue the bits and pieces together. I have found that it is easier to use an X-Acto knife to do the cutting and double sided tape for sticking the pieces together.
