Art Display

I have been wanting an art display to put in Eiz room, but couldn't decide how I going to do it. Yesterday while walking around Hobby Lobby I found these cute wooded pegs that I thought would look so cute in the bedroom. I painted them the same color as her hair bow hanger then hung them 15" from the ceiling using black ribbon. I used the same ribbon and tied it from one peg to the other then used alligator clips to hang her pictures. I think it turned out so cute.

I might add another art hanger a
couple of inches below this one.

Homemade Finger Paint

Friday night I made finger paint. I found this recipe on a blog and it sounded like a fun and cheap activity. Honestly, once it was ready I wasn't that impressed. It was the consistency of pudding and it was very light in color. I added more food coloring to the mix and it just wouldn't change.
Here is the recipe:

2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
2 Tablespoons Cold Water
1 Cup Boiling Water
Food Coloring

Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water. Add food coloring. When the water is boiling pour into the cornstarch mixture and stir. It will start to thicken very fast. Let cool and its ready to use.
It can be kept in a covered container for a couple of days.


This is what it looks like after its finished


Eiz didn't mind that it was light in color. She loved making a mess!!
