Fall Cookies

Delicious Autumn Cookies
With my little helper, Yolanda.








Today, is a true fall day. Leaves are crunching underneath your feet, the blue sky, contrasting against the yellow leaves high in the sky. 
So we decided to whip out the sugar cookie recipe and deck them out with F A L L.


MATERIALS
  • Food colouring
  • Sugar cookie dough
  • cookie cutters of your choice
  • cookie pans
  • rolling pin
  • flour ( optional)





To start, make sugar dough! This is the recipe we used ; http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/recipefinder/sugar-cookies-4477

After you have made the sugar cookie dough, divide it into 5 equal balls and choose your food coloring! 
Colour the dough balls, we tried to choose oranges, reds, yellows and greens... some worked, others didnt.


 Smooch the coloured balls together and roll out into one large piece of dough. 

Place the cookies onto a baking sheet and bake them!

Ta-Da! Delicious fall cookies. <3

Bottle Cap-a-Rama


Once a Bottle Cap, Now a Magnet
Take thirty minutes. Time well wasted.
:)

What you need:








  • Scissors
  • Paint (Acrylic)
  • Magnets
  • Bottle Caps
  • Pictures cut to fit a quarter
  • Pliers
  • Glue gun
  • Hammer
  • Chai (Optional) :)

Step one..
Use the pliers to bend the bottle cap sides off as shown in the picture.

Then use the hammer to flatten it. 




Time to paint!





After you let the caps dry, start to glue your pictures inside of them.


 Use the glue gun to glue the photos to the bottle cap.

Make sure to smooth it out with your finger.


After glueing the pictures, move to the back of the cap and glue on some sort of magnet.
Just make sure that the magnet can withstand the weight of the bottle cap.







Now enjoy, you're finished! Post them to your fridge or just keep them on a desk.
Cute keepsake for a person or memory.
