What to do with vintage linens?
Dottie Angel has, literally, written the book on Granny Chic. The blog is a visual feast ... it will convince you to alter your aesthetic accordingly and cover your world in vintage linens.
Simple, pretty and easy to make. You know ... for mom. I think they look like carnations. Head over to Simply Sublime for the how to.
#6 plastic is nasty, because it's Polystyrene (styrofoam). Most recycling programs won't accept it and it's potentially toxic! Find out more about the numbers you see on plastic products we use here.
If your supermarket IS really still using #6 containers to package food, you should complain. There are many other options available. And if you do find yourself with one of these horrible things in your hands, save it! Because you can make fused beads (think shrinky dinks)!
The original tutorial from Rust and Sunshine has been removed. But this is a really simple craft that requires very little skill and calls for doodling with permanent markers. CLICK HERE for instructions for making shrinky dinks with #6 plastic.
