Sep, 09Humpday Tutorial | Ice Cream Drumsticks
I just love the Instructables website! They share all sorts of DIY projects and there truly is something for everyone! The first time that I heard of them was when my husband and I went to the 2008 Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco. I was immediately attracted to their booth because of their funky business cards and stickers, but quickly learned that they had more to offer. They had an etching machine set up and they etched any design you wanted into your laptop cover, cell phone, iPod, etc. It was so much fun! My husband got his logo on his laptop , while I forgot my iPod Touch at the hotel, so I created a quick design with my name and had it etched into my cell phone. It was great. So, I’ve been following them ever since and recently came across this DIY Ice Cream Drumstick tutorial and knew I had to try it. I’m a little squeezed for time at the moment, because of the upcoming craft show, but thought that I could do a blogpost to archive it for later. Plus, I thought you would like it too! Enjoy!

Sep, 09Humpday Tutorial | Skull Candy Boxes
I know I already shared a Humpday Tutorial with you today, but I simply couldn’t resist sharing this with all of you either! It’s another idea from the Martha Stewart team and they’re Skull Treat Boxes! I haven’t tried them yet, but they seem super easy and they would be great to do with the kids. They are egg shaped containers that you paint white and then cut out black crepe paper for the features (the face templates can be found here). Then you fill them with treats and then you’re done! Easy, right? I was thinking though, instead of printing out templates and using crepe paper, why not save some trees, money, and time by drawing the faces on with marker or paint. Well, I’ll let you get to it! If you try this before me, please let me know how they turn out. Heck, even email me the pictures of yours and I’ll put them on here! Enjoy!

Sep, 09Humpday Tutorial | Shrunken Apple Heads!
What a fun DIY for a Halloween party! I’ve seen this in another magazine before and they used black charcoal or marker to fill in the facial features for an even more eerie look. You can find the complete tutorial with additional pictures here. This probably isn’t a project to work on with the kids because of the knife carving, but it’s a great nap time project for you! That Martha Stewart team is really something, huh? Enjoy!
What you’ll need:
- Paring knife
- Firm, unbruised apples
- Lemon juice
- Salt
- Small bowl
- Knotted cord or twine
- Toothpicks
- Optional: Urn or vase filled with dried branches
