I recently discovered quick-dry casting resin and can’t get enough of it. Casting resin comes in two bottles. When you mix them together it forms this liquid plasticy shit (I don’t really care about the science), which you can then pour into molds and let harden into a solid plastic-like substance. So today, our DIY project is space invader resin magnets! Or just any resin magnet shape you choose; we don’t discriminate.

Today we are making a string… glue… balloon… lamp thing!  This is probably one of my favorite projects to do; this is the third one that I’ve made.  I can take zero credit for the idea, it’s totally 100% these awesome people.  I’m posting a few variations from their instructions, but they’re the original, so they probably know better than I do.  I’m posting it here because… well, I just fricking love it.

So before you say “what the fuckkkkk” at the idea of chocolate bacon cupcakes, just hear me out.  A while back I bought this chocolate bar for my then-boyfriend.  It was basically one of those I-am-buying-this-for-you-but-really-it’s-for-me things.  Anyways, it was DELICIOUS.  For realsies!  So I made it a mission to make up a good bacon cupcake.  Also, someone just told me they had bacon maple cupcakes on Cupcake Wars, so the idea can’t be THAT bad.

So I’m sure most of you have heard of the Rasterbator, but I’m sincerely sad for those of you that have not!  Rasterbator is the most insanely easy and cheap decorating tool in the fricking world.  You take any small image and Rasterbator makes that shit gianormous!  Hells yeah, right?! [..]

Homemade ‘Guess Who?’ is a super fantastico gift for a friend who has everything and appreciates unique gifts.  I’m personally a board game junkie, and since I absolutely kick ass at ‘Guess Who?’ (yes, I’m bragging about being good at an “ages 6-12” game) I decided to make a customized board for myself.  Whatever you choose to do with your board… enjoy!  Now, on with the directions.

So I bought one of these ice cube shot glass molds. They’re pretty cool and all, but I mostly bought them so that I could perform super scientific experiments with them. My favorite experiment was using a super awesome fruit snack recipe in them to create, well, literal jello shots. They’re incredibly easy, edible, and bound to impress your friends. I recommend these for a small gathering, not for that kegger you’re planning down at the frathouse. [..]
