<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hello everyone and welcome to another entry of What’s
Pinning?! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This week I’ve decided to make cake pops for the kiddies.
They wanted me to try and make an annoying orange cake pop. I hate to say it
but I failed miserably as you’ll see in the photos so I chucked the idea and
went with something totally different. Cake pop people and monsters, it ended
up working out a whole lot better and the kiddies LOVED them. I love making
cake pops, the decorating ideas are endless. Pairing different cake recipes
with different frostings and chocolate flavors puts these little treats at the
top of my list. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve also posted some
pictures of some past cake pops that I’ve done. I really enjoy sharing with you
all and as always ideas, pins, and great conversations are welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Time Taken:</b> This
is tricky because of various recipe times and decorating but taking a wild
guess I’d say that with baking, cooling, refrigeration, chocolate melting and
decorating approx. 2-3 hours. But this is a guess.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">What I did<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I used a store brought cake mix for this one, I am a big fan
of homemade but I will use a cake mix when I’m trying out a new decoration, or
if I’m pressed for time. It comes out well either way. I followed the
directions on the box baking for the recommended time. After it was done (stuck
a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean, not wet.) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I let the cake cool completely for about 20
minutes. I cut the cake into four equal pieces, then trimmed off the tops and
any hard edges. I like to use a grater to get the cake pieces really crumbled
but you could always take two pieces and rub them together. Make sure there aren’t
any big pieces. 2 equal pieces makes about 12 cake pops. I then spooned a
little less than half of the icing on top of the two pieces of grated cake. Don’t
use too much or else it will be too moist and not hold up well. Mix well. I
then rolled the crumbs into balls (I used a tablespoon to help me measure) and
placed them in the fridge for 35 minutes. Now it was time to melt the
chocolate, if you haven’t already checked out my chocolate melting tutorial check it out at the link below. (Don’t
forget to put the 1tbs of vegetable oil before melting, it helps it to come out
smooth and shiny just great for dipping) I took the cake pops out of the fridge and
stuck the lollipop stick that has been dipped into chocolate (it acts as glue) in half way. I then put them back in the fridge for 5 minutes and let them sit for about 5 minutes after taking them out before coating them in chocolate. This is because if the cake pop is too cold then coated it ma crack. Alternately if it is not old enough it can fall off while coting or even after its been coated. Then time to
decorate. The good thing about cake pops is that you can get really creative
with them. Enjoy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before I start I wanted to point
out that on my other project entries I didn’t leave instructions for those projects

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">For this week’s project I’ve
decided to retry the firefly glow in the dark jar. I just wasn’t ready to give
up on it just yet. I would like to thank Crafts for kids for this Pin. I was
able to find a solvent based glow in the dark paint online but these little
jars are pretty costly. It is gritty and feels rough but once you set it out in
the sun it glows in the dark immediately. The smell is strong though so I had
to work with my windows open. I tried playing around with it on the other jar, but I wasn't too crazy about it. I did love the dot one though. I left them sitting by the window for a few hours and left it on the
kiddie’s dressers, they loved it. It glowed very nicely. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I
used one color at a time and started the dots on the bottom first. Dipping the
paintbrush into the container I then let little drops of varying sizes fall to
the bottom. When I finished one color I would then repeat the process with the
next color. When the bottom was finished I turned the jar on its side and
started the process that way allowing a few seconds for the paint to dry a
little. It got a little confusing with the dots because during the day they
look exactly the same. If I had to do it differently I would let the containers
sit in the sun for a bit then do the dots. It was nice to see the kiddies face
light up with this project, even though the pricing was pretty hefty. I still
have a lot left over so I’ll figure out a new project to do with them. I’m
thinking of mixing one of the old projects into this one. I hope you all
enjoyed. </span></span></div>

This is a side by side comparison of what it looked like in a picture in the dark right after<br />
sitting in the sun and approx. 15-20 minutes later. It was still shining brightly but the camera <br />
didn't pick it up. So back to the window it went. That's the good thing it can be used over and <br />
over again.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">This project was part of the whole crayon art craze. I have
to admit I enjoyed these two projects a lot and so did the kiddies. This
project was intended for those leftover crayons that have been broken. Instead
of discarding them they can be saved, melted, and left to harden. Voila…you
have a new rainbow crayon. I didn’t have any old crayons and I kind of deviated
from the normal way to do these as I didn’t have supplies on hand. Usually a
silicone mold would be used to make these but I couldn’t find them in my area
and I really didn’t want to pay anywhere from $8.00 - $15.00 plus shipping for
something that I wouldn’t use often. So I used mini plastic Tupperware. I’ll
admit I wasn’t sure how it would hold up in the oven but I gave it try and it
did quite well. I want to give a BIG thank you to one of mine and my kiddies
favorite you tube channels yoyomax12 for her instructional. As always you can
find the link for these instructions below. Don’t forget to follow me on Pinterest

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Hello everyone and welcome to another entry of What’s
Pinning?!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last week I wasn’t able to make an entry but as promised I
have done two crayon projects which I have divided into two posts. First
I want to say that this project although fairly easy was a little difficult
when it came to pushing the crayon through the hot glue gun. Second, I LOVED
this project. The kiddies LOVED it. Although they weren’t able to handle the
glue gun they were able to help peel off the paper from the crayons and hold up
the canvas when needed. They loved when I pushed through a new color and the
other one squirted out all over the place. So a word of caution this gets
messy. I remember watching a video on how to clean out the glue gun after the
project is done using glue sticks so I tried it. About three glue sticks for
the glue gun to run clear again (no crayons) Despite the instructional video
stating that the glue gun had been ruined I was able to heat it up again and
get a glue stick through. Although I don’t know how long that’ll last. The
final result was great. I would like to thank indulgy.com for the hot
glue gun crayon art pin although I had repined from Brianne Beckman. For the video on this project please check out the link</span> <span style="font-size: large;">below.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;"><strong>Edit:</strong> I forgot to add that this is only one way to do this project. The other two methods include a blow dryer and a candle.</span></div>

<br />
Welcome to another What's Pinning?! post.<br />
<br />
Usually I do a different project every week and post on Sunday for your viewing pleasure but this particular project is an unscheduled one. I needed a new Iphone case but I didn't want to spend $15-$20 on a brand new one. Cheap, maybe but I'm a big believer that if it can be saved,....So I got out the modge podge, the old iphone case, some glitter and some leftover material from a project still in the making and voila.....awesome. <br />
<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Modge Podge = $8.41 - 16 ounce bottle I brought the gloss
kind (found on amazon)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Glitter = $1.29 x 2 (brought @ Michaels)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Most of the materials can be used for other projects. The glass tiles and mosaic mini tiles were actually brought for another project, I just used what was left over which was quite a few so I still have some extras. The Modge Podge will be used for plenty of other projects as well. So if I had to guess the cost of this project, it was approx.. under $5.00 but don’t quote me </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to
do this project because it looked so pretty and I thought the kiddies would
love to have a night with one of these. The project was fairly easy in that you
cut open some glow sticks and empty them into a jar, but be careful because
once opened they do contain glass and the fluid is said to be toxic. I kind of strayed from the project a little. All I did was add glitter so it wasn't that much of a change.</span></div>

that children assist other than bending and shaking the glow sticks to activate
them. Personally I found that the amount of time they stay lit, all the
precautions you have to take including wearing gloves, for a few minutes of
awesome glow is not worth the price but of course this is my own opinion. I’m
not giving up though I love the idea of the whole firefly, fairy jar. In the
coming weeks I will be attempting a different version of this project. Can’t
wait.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Welcome back to another entry of “What’s pinning” today I
chose something from my own personal collection. Yippie…The first time I made
this chocolate carousel was back in 2009. I was just
starting to dabble into the world of chocolate molding and I must admit the
project itself was a little difficult for the beginner, and I’m not talking
already done a few beginner I mean very first project beginner. Surprisingly it
came out well but it caused enough frustration that I put it down for awhile.
After a long while and a lot few more attempts I decided to do a tutorial. In the spirit of Easter. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Just a few tips:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When I was first learning I thought that a
double boiler was the only good method for melting chocolate or at least that’s
what I read but I’m here to tell you that using a microwave is ok. I usually
melt the chocolate at 30 second intervals so it melts evenly and doesn’t burn.
I buy microwave safe tupper ware and wooden spoons. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you plan on painting in details I find it
easier to use long thin skewers for hard to reach places especially on this
mold</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Make sure not to get the chocolate wet or it
will “seize” up and get lumpy which makes it difficult to work with. In my
opinion when this happens it’s best to just start over because getting the
chocolate to be workable again is close to impossible.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I</span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">f the chocolate starts to become hard or set
just pop it back in the microwave for 30 seconds or until it is completely
melted again. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri;">After pouring chocolate into the mold place in
fridge for 15 minutes, less time is needed when setting the details,
approximately 2 minutes for the details but DO make sure to place in fridge
after doing each detail so it won’t mix in with the other chocolate… it will
look messy. Do not place in fridge for too long because again moisture and
chocolate are NOT friends. For more on Chocolate melting and molding check out
my step by step tutorial for this project at </span><a href="http://jaded777.hubpages.com/hub/Melting-and-Molding-Chocolate-A-Beginners-Guide"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">http://jaded777.hubpages.com/hub/Melting-and-Molding-Chocolate-A-Beginners-Guide</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
you can also check out chocoley.com they have great information in their
resource section. Although I am not affiliated with them I do have a soft spot
for them because it was there that I learned the basics. <o:p></o:p></span></li>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong> Welcome to What’s Pinning?!</strong> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I have
found a very interesting project on how to make a wand, I will repin under the
What’s Pinning?! Board at <a href="http://pinterest.com/jadex7/what-s-pinning/">http://pinterest.com/jadex7/what-s-pinning/</a> so we will all be able to keep up with the projects and
recipes that have been done. Our first project was posted by trainsandtutus.com
but I found that it had been pinned from Kates escapades, How to make a harry
potter wand</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
so a big thank you to them for their step by step instructions.
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">You can find the link for the step by step instructions below or above on my pinterest page. </span>If you were able to find supplies cheaper please let
us know.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</h4>
Hello Everyone,<br />
<br />
<strong>Welcome to What's Pinning?!</strong> <br />
When I wrote my Bio I had done so on hubpages as I'm familiar with the site but there is no place to put entries in as I can here. You can find detailed information on who I am as well as what this blog is about at <a href="http://jaded777.hubpages.com/hub/Whats-Pinning-Unearth-those-lost-and-forgotten-pins">http://jaded777.hubpages.com/hub/Whats-Pinning-Unearth-those-lost-and-forgotten-pins</a>.<br />
<br />
If you don't have the time to read the full length Bio here is a shortened version. I love pinterest with all its information but it is like a never ending maze of it. Getting lost while looking around is common and repinning only to forget about what's been pinned is as well. I am so guilty of this too. I wanted a way to connect with other creative souls to share ideas and experiences while at the same time getting some of those pins I've forgotten about done. As I've stated in my hubpage I am not affiliated with or getting paid from Pinterest and aside from the pins I directly post I will always give credit where credit is due. With that said the statements and opinions in this blog are my own based on my own knowledge and experiences. I hope to see you all here again for the first project.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
