Homemade SKITTLES!!!

Hey!!

I found this in the cricut newsletter today... The Cricut CHIRP Newsletter - Feb 9, 2009

It had directions for home made SKITTLES!!!

TIPS TREASURE CHEST - Today's tip comes from messageboard member GenieBug. Thanks for sharing this fun information with us GenieBug.

Making your own skittles is easy. I found directions online, but here is the short version (I tried it and it works):

Spray a sheet of aluminum foil with pam and then kinda wipe it down with a paper towel.
Use a hot glue gun to make skittles...kinda swirling the glue gun to avoid glue strings.
Then, peel them off.
Place in plastic baggy and add a few drops of alcohol ink.
Lay out to dry on wax paper.

There you have it: home made skittles. You can even get creative and make shapes; I made hearts.


I'm going to try it this weekend... I need some black ones!!

Oooo, I like the idea of making hearts. Not sure I am that good with a hot glue gun though.

Me and hot glue gun equals spider webs every where.

ah yes.....new ways for me to burn myself! LOL! I tried I think last year the hot glue and stamps...do the same thing but right before the glue sets push a stamp into it.....can you say ouchie! Then I tried the glitter glue...cause you know when I heard about this I had to buy all the color glue sticks I could find.....even before I realized I am glue gun challanged! LOL! But it was fun to try!

It will be later this week that I try.. .DS8 decided a trip to the ER was a must do on Valentine's Day!!! Complained of neck pain w/ a few other symptoms.. pediatrician says "ER"!!!! Luckily it was nothing more than a middle ear infection w/ a swollen lymph node and he is on ABT's and pain meds (which we were already doing the rotation schedule for those) and we have a follow up w/ the pediatrician when the ABT is complete. Poor guy... he is looking much better today so mom can try to scrap between loads of laundry while he naps...

oh no! I am glad he is feeling a little better. I Hope he has a full recovery soon.
