DIY Butter. You need about 8 oz (250 ml) of heavy cream and cheesecloth. One step tutorial at Instructables here. *When I was little we did this by shaking and shaking the cream in a jar until the butter separated from the liquids. So much fun for little kids with lots of energy!

I only post or reblog food that I know I can actually do. Really good tutorial and easier than it looks.
DIY Ketchup Hearts. Silly but so cute. From Cute Food for Kids here. *Can draw hearts this way with lots of food/condiments.

DIY Two Ingredient Strawberry Cake. Well, one of the ingredients is instant cake mix, but the other ingredient is diet soda and this is supposed to be relatively low in calories!

Why I Have a Tumblr Blog
The purpose of my blog has become to catalog unique crafts that I truly love and would do myself. I love the look of handmade crafts - handmade in a good way. My crafts tend to be doable and inexpensive - because I have either done them myself or intend on doing them. "Doable" doesn't mean "simple" crafts, but rather crafts that have tutorials that are clear and easy to understand. *I will never copy an entire tutorial from any blogger because that takes away page views from their site and 99.99% of the time it violates their copyright policy. I also will not reblog a post if the entire tutorial is published without the permission of the original blogger. I will cite, if known, sources for my posts because I believe in giving credit to the photographer/designer/blogger. Also, to act like something is your own idea, when it isn't, is just wrong.
