How To Make A DIY Dog Toy

Image
For this craft, you will need an old T-shirt and some scissors. Step 1: Cut the T-shirt into strips.  The width and length of the strips can vary based on the size of your dog (I like long ones personally) You should have strips like this: The number of strips can vary based on how experienced you are with bracelet making Step 2: Cut the strips so that they are no longer circular Then tie them together in a knot at the end Step 3: Then begin to knot them (like a friendship bracelet) Step 4: Finish knotting it and then tie the end Trim the ends Good job! You’ve finished it! You can also use three strips to braid or different kinds of friendship bracelet tieing, but we find the two strips to work the best.

Protect Our Pitbulls

Did you know that the biggest pitbull in the world weighs 174 pounds and is called Hulk? It was raised to be a protection dog, but it very quickly became a gentle playmate to the family’s young child. He is the loving, caring father to eight tiny puppies (boredpanda). The world is stuck in a constant struggle arguing over these loving dogs, over whether or not they should be allowed to live. Pit bulls should be allowed to live everywhere any other dogs can live. Many people believe these gentle giants that go by the name of a pitbull are violent and dangerous creatures and should be banned, but this essay is going to tell you why that is wrong.     The sweet breed of the pit bull has been subject to many bans in the U.S. alone. Multiple cities and counties declare pit bulls vicious and dangerous. Alabama; Center Point, Fayette, Gardendale, Irondale, Lanett, Midfield, and many other areas banned pit bulls. In Arkansas, an estimated twenty-three places banned pit bulls. In California, p

How To Press Flowers

Image
 Hi! I’m here with an amazing craft to keep you busy!   Pressed flowers are a great thing to frame, add to cards, and a great way to preserve summer! It’s super easy, and super cool when it’s all done. Let’s get started! Gather flowers, leaves, or other things 💐  (the brighter the colors the better, and some things will not work, but most will) Put parchment paper at the end of a thick, heavy book, folding it in half so the plants will be between the two sides of parchment paper 📖  (and so the plants won’t get stuck to the book) Arrange the plants on the parchment paper how you will want them to look when dried 🌼 (the more off the petals showing the better) Close the book slowly and leave for 1-5 weeks ⏰ (I find about 2 weeks to work) When the time comes to reveal, you can take them out, dispose of the plants that didn’t work, and tape or glue to cards, on a paper to frame, or give as gifts! 🖼  (I used Washi Tape to tape mine to a paper and frame! Here is mine: I hope this craft gi

Confession Time: You Actually Like Quarantine

In March, the entire world shut down. It seemed to happen overnight. At first the coronavirus was just a far away thing and we didn’t think it would actually affect our lives. Now we are months into quarantine. Many of us haven’t seen our friends or family for two or three months. Everyone is constantly complaining about being stuck at home and unable to see other people. But what if you’re not one of those people? ... Hi everyone! Amelia here.  It’s confession time: What if you don’t mind quarantine? Deep down inside, some of us know that we aren’t really the social butterflies that we try to be. I mean sure, we love hanging out with our friends, and we love to get stuff done. But no matter how much we enjoy hanging out with friends, socializing zaps energy and we need to retreat and spend some time alone.  It’s sort of nice to be able to sit at home or bike around town without having a tight schedule to worry about. It’s nice to be able to slouch in sweats without worrying about what
