In today's post I followed an idea from Happy Hooligans.

My and the big Ks did this last week during Spring Break, but I was so busy the rest of the week and then working on home remodeling over the weekend that I'm just now getting around to posting (sorry!).

This was a really simple craft that I've had planned forever but just now getting around to. To be honest, my girls get excited when I let them use Sharpies, so they loved this. I also used two different types of recycled plastic bottles to see how each worked (honestly both worked fine for the craft until I went to add a ribbon to the top and the thicker I couldn't punch through).

So first we colored our recycled plastics. I used a Bath and Body Works soap bottle (I figured the rounded edges would be cute) and a milk jug.

 (When there's no school, KK will always prefer PJs.)

Then we used a pipette and dripped a few drops of rubbing alcohol on them to "marble-ize" them.

(KL got a little ambitious and squirted more than dripped but that's okay.)

We left them out overnight to make sure they dried good and then added a coat of mod podge to keep it from smearing. And finally we punched a hole and added a ribbon to the top (but for some reason I didn't take a picture after that). Here's the (almost) finished project: 

That's all for now, 

Jo!
