Are not you sick and tired of using a tea towel unsafe pots to catch fire? Did not you find, when you remove the pan from the heat, which can not find anything to do with security?

I love to make a functional accessory as a cover to avoid burning in the kitchen, a decorative element as well as practical.

With the manual I found on "Show Share Tell" Dora is proposing to sew a sleeve grab the handles of pots and pans hot without getting burned.

The best thing about this craft for the kitchen we can, using different fabrics, making this convenient carrying case to avoid burning cooking, in a very decorative element that we can leave the eye.

The one caveat that must be taken into account to safely use this cover for handles of buckets, is not to leave unattended start because it could catch fire.

Apples to decorate for Halloween.

In addition to witches, skeletons, bats, or ghosts, pumpkins are also common figures to decorate Halloween. But this year, I leave aside the pumpkins to decorate with apples.

halloween decorate with apples


The idea has given me a story I heard a few days ago about the lack of gourds and high U.S. price, due to recent weather problems in that country, and the excessive demand for Halloween.

Therefore, for this year can not decorate with the traditional Halloween pumpkin can with any other fruit.

Legend has it that the origin of the Halloween pumpkin is the evil and stingy Jack, who was condemned to wander the world with a hollow turnip, and with a burning coal inside and only light.

Later, the small size of the turnips pushed the tradition to replace it with a pumpkin.

For this reason, why we will not change any other fruit pumpkins to decorate for Halloween this year?

My proposal in today's post is to use blocks to make them decorative Halloween Jack O'Lantern. But if we have apples, I also propose to use any other fruit carving or painting, we can make alternative and original decorations for Halloween.

HOW TO DECORATE AN EASTER EGG WITH RELIEF


1 .- Color future Easter egg color. The color you choose will depend on the color of the paper we are going to decorate it. Always look for contrasting colors. If we are to use white paper as in my case, choose a strong color to paint the egg.


2 .- Cut out paper forms. We can use simple plain paper sheets. The cuts we can make them by hand or using boring machines, choosing the way we like.


3 .- Brush the Easter egg with adhesive. In my case I used contact adhesive for maximum grip and maximum drying time.


4 .- Paste one by one, the flowers or shapes cut out of paper, on the Easter egg to cover the entire surface.


Finally we only need a support for Easter eggs, or anything else to use the Easter Egg decorating relief.

How to get an orderly appearance in the living room.

The living room, by their extreme daily use, is one of the rooms in the house in which to maintain order is more difficult.

Maintain an orderly appearance in the living room is possible with organization, with furniture that enables the storage, creating extra space and even the decor.

There are tricks to make our living room is or appears orderly.

A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE IN THE LIVING ROOM.

To achieve this image of order in the classroom, it helps create and define a space for everything. For example you can use a host of controls to maintain order and always in place, all the controls of the apparatus of the room. You can also get a magazine to make the magazines, books or newspapers when we are not using.

MAXIMIZE SPACE IN THE ROOM.

Especially if you have little space in the living room and want to keep in order, we must seize every corner. Shelving, maxi, stackable shelves ... any furniture that has storage will serve to maintain order in the classroom.

All the furniture of a room in which to seek an orderly appearance, preferably be covered or aportalado. Better a cabinet with doors that open shelves to keep the image of order in the classroom.

To furnish the room to keep it visually in order, we have the horizontal space, but also with the vertical space to climb up the furniture.

PICK UP FROM TIME TO TIME THE ROOM.

While in the lounge, where we do most of the daily life and joint family is very difficult not to leave things for the environment, it is essential to devote some time daily, every three days or a week to collect room.

Collect the room to achieve that image of order is to devote some time to tour around the space and in the corners, gathering items and returning them to their original place.

ORDER TO DECORATE THE ROOM.

And finally, as the fourth council to achieve an image of order in the classroom, we must consider how we decorate.

The colors, shapes and even the materials we use to decorate a room, they will promote or not ordered image.

For example, the horizontal lines are going to get an image of order against a floral or too many colors. Cool colors give a greater sense of order that the warm colors, etc..

Similarly, the uniformity of the shapes, colors and materials will also help to maintain an image of order in the classroom.
