Stay home ideas 14
Make a tent (I used tarpaulin on a washing line and some pegs for securing it in the grass) a polly pocket foamy pool party and dot patterns with kitchen roll or toilet paper.
Giant bubles
More for the idea rather than the perfect recipe. I have used two sticks laying in my garden, some cotton embroidery string and a pair of keys, I had to improvise. For the solution I started with a recipe found online with 6 cups water, half cup cornflour, half cup dish soap, a teaspoon of […]
