Homemade Dishwasher Detergent {for spot-free dishes}

While cleaning out my kitchen for an upcoming move, I ran across the ingredients for homemade dishwasher detergent that had been sitting around unused. ...»

The recipe is simple, the result is even better. It cleans your dishes and there won't be a residue left in the dishwasher.

What could be better.

  • I found these lighting globes at the Goodwill for half off.
  • I started applying glass flat sided marbles(Dollar Tree) with this adhesive but they started sliding and I got impatient, so I went to hot glue. Worked great and no slipping.
  • Stones from Dollar Tree and a few engraved stones left over from my daughter's wedding.
  • Fast forward, six different globes.
  • After a few weeks of researching and shopping for the cheapest and best choice of grout, I found a bag for $2 at the Habitat Restore.  Messy job for indoors but snow outside made me do it in a large tub on my kitchen table.
  • This is the adhesive I used (always on hand, great stuff) to put a base on my globes since they are open on the bottom.I has silicone so it will be water tight.  I wanted to make them as outdoor friendly as possible.
  • Again, being the cheap-skate I am, I found lg. mason jar lids at the Habitat Restore. They fit over the opening perfectly.  I used plenty of adhesive around the ring and inside the ring sealing it completely.
  • Some only had the ring so I used some bottom pieces from old Tupperware parfait glasses.
  • After letting the bases dry over night(resting on plastic bowls,in the background), time for a paint job. To protect the globes, I cut circles in the bottom of grocery bags and taped them tight around the globes.
  • I had just enough left over paint from other projects to do the bases.
  • It was a bit colder outside than the paint recommends, but it dried fast.
  • Finished drying inside.
  • Now they sit upright and are water tight and weather protected. I think they are so cute.
  • After about 2 1/2 weeks and countless inches of snow, I can finally get outside to seal the grout. I used Thompsons water seal (had cedar colored  on hand).
  • I poured some in a plastic container and used a cheat chip brush to slather it on. Make sure you cover your table, this is messy.
  • And wear gloves.
  • Don't worry about the cloudy way the marbles look. Let them dry for a couple hours and wipe off the stones and marbles with an old cloth.
  • After a bit of elbow grease, they shine like new.
  • Now, find the perfect place for them in the garden.
  • Now if only my gardens recoup from the long, cold winter we've had.  Happy Spring, Everyone.

Garden Globes

After seeing so many posts on diy garden globes, I just had to try it. I started searching for old bowling balls but all I found were priced too high. Then little by little, it all came ...»
together and and I now have six garden globes that I just love. Hope you do too.

  • Finished Mason jar solar light.
  • Supplies Needed: Solar lights, duct tape, Mason jars and outer lid, spray paint and painters tape. 3
  • Screw off the top of the solar light and put painters tape on the top of the solar panel.
  • Spray paint the solar light tops and lids.
  • I folded the duct tape in half to create double sided tape. I used duct to keep the light from falling into the jar. Duct tape is also weather proof.
  • I wrapped the duct tape around the light. Make sure you don't put the tape to close to the top. You don't want the tape to stick out of the lid. 4
  • I stuck the light with the duct tape inside the jar. You don't need to push the light in too far, just enough to make it snug. The lid will make it more secure.
  • It was an easy project that didn't cost very much money. I had all of the resources with the exception of the lights. 1

Mason Jar Solar Lights!

Don't you just love all of the things you can make and do with Mason jars? I have been wanting Mason jar solar lights since I saw them in a catalog three years ago, but for $40 a jar ...»
there was no way I would allow myself to buy them. I knew I needed to figure out a way to make them myself. I bought some solar lights at the dollar store and was able to come up with my own Mason jar solar lights. Please visit my blog to see all of the details.

  • What was once our old bathroom door now serves as our guest room headboard. 3

Wanted to share a fun weekend project of transforming an old door into a new headboard for our guest room.

It cost us only $50, and it was a great way to re-use and re-purpose something others may have considered ready for the landfill. For full details and how to instructions: http://www.oldtownhome.com/2011/5/18/Opportu...
