FRUGAL LIVING


THIS WILL WORK FOR ( HE) MACHINES AS WELL
First a list of tools and ingredients that you will need to get started :

5 gallon bucket with lid
large stir stick or mixer 
funnel
large pot
mason jars or empty recycled laundry soap bottles

essential oils or scent booster (optional)
Borax( see bottom link for alternative)
 Zote or Fels naptha bar soap (alternatives in link below)
Super washing soda
baking soda 
oxy clean (optional)
water

Measurements 
2 cups of borax
1 - 14 Oz bar of Zote or Fels naptha bar
2 1/4 cup of Super Washing Soda
1 cup of Baking soda
1/4- 1/2 cup of oxy clean (up to a cup)
Essential oils of scent boosters as desired


STEP BY STEP
Shred your 14 oz of zote (or alternative) flakes into a bowl while you are doing that have a pot of water ( half fill a large pot)  on the stove on med low heat.

once the water is hot but not boiling , add your zote shavings slowly and stir until it is all dissolved in the water 

once the zote shavings are all dissolved add your 2 cups of borax to the mixture at this point you can turn the heat off. Stir until the borax has turned the zote mixture into the consistency of dish soap ... it will be thick and smooth.

slowly pour the zote and borax mixture into your 5 gallon bucket, and fill the remaining space in the bucket with hot water from your tap. ( fill as high as possible while still allowing stirring space)

mix the water and borax/zote mixture together with your large stick or mixer 
Add in your 2 1/4 cups of Super washing soda , 1 cup of baking soda and your oxyclean
and Mix well.


Once everything has been added and stirred into the bucket, place the lid on to prevent anything from getting in the bucket. 
LET IT COOL COMPLETELY 
 I left mine over night



After The mixture is cool you can now stir using your stick or mixer, it will be a thick gel consistency ( if it isn't thats FINE it is sill perfectly usable, climate matters for this)

 mix it all until it is smooth, you can now add any scent boosters or essential oils at this point.

Now you want to take any containers or jars you plan to store the soap in and fill them all equal parts / half water with the help of your funnel, and then fill the other half of the  bottles/ jars with laundry soap you just made.   They should be equal parts water and soap.

seal the jars/bottles and YOUR DONE!

DIY VIYNL RECORD BAT DECORATIONS | RECYCLED KIDS CRAFTS | ATTICANATOMY

HOW TO MAKE A VINYL RECORD
BAT

This Diy is easy and can be easily made into another creature or decor piece, your imagination is the limit with this niffty craft.  You will need to make sure you have a few items first....

YOU WILL NEED
*Soldering tool
*Records
*gloves
*safety glasses
*face mask
*pen or pencil
*scissors
* baking pan
*aluminum foil
And a piece of doling OR  a stick



First step :

Print or draw out a shape of a the bat onto a sheet of paper, and cut it out
Next, you will want to trace out the bat onto the record using up as much space as it will permit

Second step:

Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place the record with the pre drawn on bats onto the pan.
Pre heat your oven to the lowest setting , and place the pan with aluminum foil and record into it.
YOU ONLY WANT TO WARM IT UNTIL PLIABLE DO NOT MELT IT  
Keep a close eye on the record, you just want it to get bendable and soft enough to cook, this only takes a minute or so.


Make sure you have your gloves on, and take out the warmed record. At this point you will have to work quickly as the vinyl will start to harden fast after removing it from the heat
Start cutting immediately around your drawn out bat, and then set them aside.
( If your bats harden before you can finish cutting, just place them back into the heat and repeat)

Once they are all cut out from the vinyl, you will want to start shaping them, take all of the vinyl bats you have cut out, and place them onto the sheet, when they become pliable, start molding them with your hands into the position you want them to harden in.

When all of the bats have been shaped and hardened, you will move onto the soldering tool part.
PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS WITH THIS TOOL IT IS VERY HOT
Take each bat, wearing gloves, and a mask and start to burn holes into the center of the bat , this will be so you can thumb tack some to the walls , also you will want to burn holes off to the edges of some other bats, so you can string them up and attach them to the wooden rod or stick you chose.

In the final stage you just want to cut some string or twine and tie them to the rod and the bat at different lengths to create a ''hanging/flying'' bat appearance.

*Take the glue gun and put small dollops of glue onto the knots on the string or twine to make sure they stay put!

AND THAT'S IT. Enjoy the bat cave you have created.
