Soap Shaver?

This fascinates me! I want one for our Shower!

Nathalie Stämpfli a student at Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands invented this amazing soap shaver! Here's why:

"Using hard soaps over bottled liquid soaps can help our environment by cutting back on plastic waste. And if you leave a bar of soap in the shower, this invention will help keep the bar of soap fresh and clean between uses."

Genius! Why didn't I think of this!

Nathalie designed two dispensers that turn block soap into beautiful little flakes.
The first version needs to be attached to a wall and the second is a twist grater that can stand by itself. Each design produces fine, delicate soap flakes and helps release the soaps fragrance while you shower.

DIY: Reindeer Gift Bags

I made these cute little reindeer bags for my nanny girls school Christmas parties. We filled each reindeer with peppermints, chocolates and other fun candies! These were fun to make and less than $1 per bag including all the candy! The girls told me that the gift bags were a big hit with their classmates. I found this cute idea from Family Fun.




Instructions
1.        Use a pencil to mark a brown paper bag as shown, then cut along the solid lines to create a rounded top and 2 separate teardrop ear shapes.
2.       Fold the bag along the dotted line, then hot glue an antler (cut from brown card stock) and an ear inside the fold on each side of the bag.
3.       For the eyes, (I bought googly eyes from Micheal's craft store -- much easier than cutting out your own) glue them to the bag with a hot glue gun.
4.       Glue on a red pom-pom for a nose. Let all of the glue dry before placing a small gift inside.

***If your kids are under 10 yrs. old I'd suggest doing all the gluing yourself. You can have little one help with separating and stuffing the bags with candy.***
