I don't know about you, but I feel like our house needs a breath of fresh spring air, and not just in the form of flowers or (more) spring cleaning. I'm thinking a pop of color....but yet, it would be so much better if it was something that me and Lil'Miss could do together, so that she can show everyone who walks in the door the fruits of our labor (and potential ego-stroking for me too!).
Leave it to Twitter to show me the way. Since we at Shak-Shuka are lovahs of all things Daily Candy Kids, we saw that they tweeted about this amazing salt tutorial from Flax & Twine. Of course I had to check it out (since DCK are the gurus of all things kid-friendy+cool), and was amazed at the results. Anne Weil is the mastermind behind the "Rainbow in a Jar" tutorial, and if the end result doesn't get your crafty in the knees, just take a look at her photos for the "how to" and surely you'll be a convert. I love that it incorporates two of our favorite household items: summer-friendly sidewalk chalk (which we happen to have 2 buckets of!) and salt (which I love to eat, but LIl'Miss likes using it like sand). Who would have guessed that those 2 things would be a match made in heaven? Flax & Twine did! So grab your chalk, salt and empty baby-food jars (or something more glam) and get a rainbow in your home!
