Pinterest Projects and Attempts

 I have always wanted to make cookie bowls. Basically, you take cookie dough and a muffin pan and then you turn the pan upside down. Now, spread the cookie dough on it. Make sure you use A LOT of spray!!! Then you bake it for however long. After it cools for a little you take the cookies off of the pan. Now you have a bowl that you can eat and put ice cream in! Well, that's how it is supposed to turn out . . . I didn't put enough spray, didn't use very good cookie dough, and put too much dough on the pan. As you can see, mine broke when I tried taking them off. We put them on the bottom of ice cream bowls and made yummy ice cream sundaes anyways!
The next day I had a few friends over and we decided to bake something. We looked on Pinterest and one of my friends found a sunflower cake made out of chocolate icing, peeps, and chocolate chips. We made the cake and then spread the icing on. Then, we placed the bunny peeps (the only ones we could find) a long the outside edges. After that, we sprinkled chocolate chips in the inside. Last but not least, we ate it! This project thankfully turned out REALLY GOOD!

Pinterest Project #3

A few weeks ago, well, more like a couple months a go, I did my 3rd Pinterest Project. Except, this one was a major one! I made a world map on a canvas.

First, you need a map. The one I got was from Barnes & Noble. Then you need:

Materials which include Modge Podge, brushes, a yard stick, an Xacto knife, and ribbon (which isn't in the picture and is optional). You also need a 3 canvases:

You need two different size canvases and the sizes will be according to the size of the map.
When choosing the canvas, you will have to decide between two different ways that you can put the map on the canvas. You can either wrap the map around the edges of the canvas (if you do this, you won't need ribbon) or you can have the map just on top.

Measure the canvas and mark the parts of the map hat you are going to remove.
Then, you cut the map according to canvas sizes using the Xacto knife. You will cut the map into 3 different pieces. Also, if the map is larger than the canvas, you can trim any extra parts off.
Next, you modge podge the canvas.
Then, you modge podge over the map and let it dry :)
When it is dry, if you want, you can glue ribbon around the edges. I glued pink ribbon on mine!

Ta da!!! 
The finished product!

On my board, I have pink pins for places that I have been and. . .

blue pins for the places that I want to go!

Pinterest Project #2

So, a couple of weeks ago I did a my second "Pinterest Project". I just haven't gotten around to posting it until now because I have been so busy with school, activities, and such. 

On Pinterest I saw a ridiculously easy breakfast. It doesn't have to be for breakfast though. You can eat it anytime of day! I made it for lunch. It takes just a couple of seconds to make. All you need is a pan, eggs, and a bell pepper or two (depending on how many you want to make). Each bell pepper made on average about 4 when I did it. You simply slice the bell pepper into circle slices and put them in a frying pan. Then, pour an egg in. Whala! You have a colorful and healthy breakfast!

*Warning: The egg will probably spill over and under the edges of the bell pepper while cooking so you want to make slices as flat and even as possible!

Here is a picture: (It might not look very pretty in my picture but it is very yummy!)

Pinterest Project #1

So a couple posts ago I said that I was going to try a bunch of different things that I found on Pinterest this track-out. . . Well, it is now 4 days until the start of school. Time has flown by so fast! I have had a productive, busy, and very fun break but I didn't realize until a couple days ago that I really need to get going on my "project". 

The one thing that I did try was making pictures into different shapes. You do this by cutting out a circle the size of your camera lens with a sheet of paper. . . any paper. Then you cut out a shape in the middle. It can be WHATEVER shape you desire! :) I chose a heart because that is what it showed in the picture on Pinterest. Then you tape the paper to the camera. This is what I came out with:











*Tip: If you ever try this, make sure to keep the flash on*


I'm going to extend my "Pinterest Project" so whenever I try something in the future, I will post about it! :)

Track-Out

I know it that it seems that I post about this topic a lot . . .

We are tracked out!! We made it through the first part of our school year. For me, the first part of my first year of high school! I can't believe it! It has been great though, a lot of work but in the end it will be worth every minute of it!

Now that we are tracked out I decided I'm going to do my Pinterest project! I'm going to make different recipes, try crafts, and different random things that I find on Pinterest. I will also post about them when I do them. How fun!!! I can't wait to get started! :)
