SpongeBob and Friends Dessert

This is for Day 9 of 30 Days of Creativity with a theme of "Water".  I chose to used blue jello and SpongeBob Gummy snacks to try to create and undersea dessert adventure.  

I have seen this idea on other sites, but they usually call for putting the Jello and gummy snacks in layers and I just inserted after the Jello set instead.

As the jello is a bit cloudy, it is hard to make out exactly what the shapes are, but it tasted good nonetheless.  It made 2 8 oz servings.

Items used:

• Small package blue jello
• 2 cups Water
• SpongeBob Gummy Snacks
• 2 8 oz clear glasses
• Butter Knife

Make the Jello according to the package, put a SpongeBob gummy at the bottom and then poured the Jello in the glasses and allow to set.

Once the Jello was set, I used a butter knife to create an opening in the Jello and then inserted the gummy snack.

Bonsai Tree Painting

This is for Day 8 with the theme of "Bonsai" at 30 Days of Creativity and I chose to paint over an old calendar.

Items used:

• Gold, brown and green acrylic paint
• Sponge Paintbrush.

I painted over the calendar to cover the dates - it took 4 coats.  Then I painted the tree shape in brown and then dabbed the green paint on to give it texture.

"Friends" Themed Paper Organizer

This is for Day 7 of 30 Days of Creativity with the theme of "Friends".  I chose to make a file organizer (but could also be used as a magazine holder) for my son's college papers out of a cereal box and cover it will a collage of pictures of him and his friends.

Items used:

• Cereal box (I used Captain Crunch)
• Scissors
• 8-12 photos
• Glue stick
• Clear Contact paper

Cut the top off of the box and cut at an angle on each side and straight across the front.

Pick out the photos you want to use and arrange them on the box then glue down.

Apply clear Contact paper (I purchased mine at Dollar Tree for $1) over the photos.

Pinball Necklace

This project is for Day 6 for 30 Days of Creativity and with a category of pinballs, so I chose to use a toy pinball necklace from a friend's party and craft it into a necklace.   I had all of the items on hand so it didn't cost anything to make.  
 


First, I made paper beads:

• Paper
• Scissors
• Gluestick
  
• Paintbrush
• Spray paint

  

I used old magazines and backed the pages with regular paper then cut into long sloping shape (see right hand photo).  The width and length along with whatever tool you use to wrap the "bead" around (I used a paintbrush) will determine the shape of the bead.  I wanted mine more eclectic so I used different widths and sizes.

You start at the wide end, apply the glue stick to the inside length then start rolling it tightly until you reach the end.

I also spray painted mine lightly to give it a more cohesive look, but instead a clear spray paint or Modge Podge could be used to seal them.



 
Rest of the necklace.

• Small toy pinball game
• Cap off of Axe Shampoo
• Hot knife
• E-6000 glue
• 24-26 inches of ribbon

On the Axe cap, I cut a hole in each end wit the hot knife and threaded the ribbon through and then secured it where I wanted with E-6000.

I cut off the top of the lid and the spigot towards the top so I had a smooth surface.

I glued down the toy pinball game and added the paper beads two paper bead to the top and the remaining paper beads at the bottom and tied a knot at the end.
