Decorative Windchime



Summer is all about outdoors and colors! Learn how to make this cute. It doesn't make sound since I added decorative glass beads to the pot. I just love how it sparkles in the sun.

This is a super cheap and easy craft for toddlers. You need tiny terracotta pot, acrylic paint, paint sealant, silicone sealant, beads, floral wire, nylon string and open mind. All supplies can be bought at a Dollar Store.

Simply paint the pot with your design. I painted a dragonfly using a stencil I had on hand. Add glitter while the paint is still wet. Use UV Silicone Sealant to adhere the glass rocks. I attempted liquid fusion glue but it didn't withstand the heat from the sun.

Create a loop with gold beads from floral wire and glue the ends inside. The tail of beads is strung on nylon string and tied to the floral wire before it's glued.

Skip the glass beads and add small bells or a washer on the string of beads. When the wind blows it will make a small ding against the pot.

RAISE Armpit Stain Remover



Aluminum based deodorants are the culprits for armpits stained yellow. One solution is to switch to a natural deodorant. This may not be an appealing option for many. I don't mind using coconut based deodorant but my husband does.

I have tried numerous store bought and homemade cleaning options but the yellow remains. Bleach is the worst product EVER to use on pit stains. It will turn them orange! Trust me I know. Vinegar, baking soda, peroxide mixture is best used on fresh stains and washed immediately (after soaking). I need an easier more permanent solution. RAISE Armpit Stain Remover offered me an opportunity to test their product.
