"The Bone Collector" Easy Scary Terrarium Craft Decor For Halloween





I am so excited to present you with the easiest project yet. I like easy, I like zero to low cost, and I always find ways to upcycle something. This craft willhelp you enhance your Halloween decorations, even at this last minute. I have seen this done in numerous ways with numerous materials. It's up to you what type of creepy things you like to use, the ideas could be endless here. I have dubbed this easy craft decoration "The Bone Colector". I will display the "disclocated" skeleton body amongst the moss under glass; sound intriguing?


The Supplies Needed

As you can see here I have used two identical old sauce jars (if you don't collect jars you should, I have used them in so so many ways craftwise, recipewise, and giftwise)and the bonus here their lids were both in black so no paint was needed either. I had one hanging skeleton, a handful of rocks and a large handful of moss, a pair of house scissors. Once I gathered all the things I thought I would need, It did not even take me 5 minutes for the entire project!



The Directions


Simply assemble

1.I put down a small layer of rocks. 2.I cut the skeleton with house scissors into sections here and there. 3.I then stuffed handfuls of the moss into the jar.I put in as much as I though it looked full. 4.I took the pieces of skeleton and simply divided him up between the two jars and having the parts stick out here and there trying to tie the back and the front of the jar together. I liked the white with the green color, but I thought of so many fillers and ideas for these, I may make and highlight a couple more!


I thought these little scary terrariums were cute cute! Let me know if you liked these and if you made them or something bewitchingly similar!!!

Dimethicone: Chemical Gets A Bad Rap

Image
What is dimethicone? Why does it get such a bad rap?  It is primarily because it is a commonly used product and an additive, and secondarily it is a man-made silicone polymer and it’s always listed alongside things like phthalates and triclosan. It is a chemical. Dimethicone is in a lot of cosmetics and in products given to you by a certified dermatologist and even in items for babies. Chemistry Photo credit: Pinterest Dimethicone is normally only used topically and found in the cream type form. Dimethicone works because it forms a barrier for and against moisture by doing one of two things, trapping it on the skin or trapping it away from the skin. It fills pores and smooths the look of the skin may fill in wrinkles and fine lines on the face, and it also provides an emollient that will sooth skin to fight the effects of sunburn and diaper rash.

Deadliest Record-Breaking Cold Weather Is Dangerous

Photo Credit: Medicentres.com Today's post is in response to the dangerous cold and record-breaking weather that is upon approximately 110 million people! I am currently one of those people in the path of this polar vortex weather, and I am not happy. Midwesterners are tough, rugged and live through a lot of weather extremes, however, what is predicted to come for the next two days is just dangerous. A little less than half of the North American continent has an extreme weather forecast right now and in the next week or so. My area tomorrow is predicted to be in the -50 (negative temps) to possible -60's !. The sub-zero temps are here already, but tonight and tomorrow will be excruciating! A meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center is passing along information right now telling the American public the exposed skin in that kind of extreme will take only a matter of seconds to frostbite and cause hypothermia. According to the Mayo Clinic   (see  their defini

Magnolias In My Kitchen Very Simple Flower Centerpiece

Image
It's a very cold January day and not one glimpse of the sun is to be had. The ground is covered in snow and now there's even freezing drizzle/rain to add into making this a long winter's day. There's only one thing you can do is to bring warmth in, by way of flowers. I have these two magnolia stems sitting right near me, One has three blooms on it and one has two. They feel bright and remind me of summer. Those warm days where the car windows are down and the Grateful Dead are playing Sugar Magnolia on the radio. And the only thing you can do is wave your arms out to feel the breeze while you're singing the song! A lovely flower centerpiece will liven, brighten and warm my room. So I gathered a  few things: the two magnolia stems Some dried green moss, that I use often, it truly makes me think of spring and summer with its very vibrant green and even brown sticks!  2 very large bell-shaped dimpled glass containers, graduated in size the large
