Even MORE Accessories!

Hello again!
So today I am writing to give some of my ideas on accessories made from things you find in your house! They aren't really specifically related to greening your b'nei mitzvot but that's okay!
(I will put in photos later)
So my first shot at this was using buttons! You may not necessarily have blank earring studs at your house, but if you do, this is a good and quick project. You pretty much take a button or stone or something and hot glue it to the earring stud and you've got a REALLY cute earring! You can string buttons on a string and tie knots around them into a necklace.
And then, my new favorite, safety pins!
I found a bag of safety pins in a drawer at my house and, since they were all different sizes, that I would try layering them on a silver ring! I used pliers to make it so the pins can't open. I had the big pins in the back and layered up and a teensy tiny gold pin right in front! I loved it so much that I made another and made earrings (they were originally meant to be a necklace)!



So please post with more and if you do, so will I!

Bamboozle your centerpiece!

My friend Carina did a really great job making her bat mitzvah eco-conscious...at the party she took it up a notch with bamboo centerpieces, buffet table decorations and tall teepees of bamboo wrapped with lights around the dance floor. For the centerpieces, she used varied sizes of bamboo, cut and nailed together. There is a natural platform in bamboo where the ridges are so she cut them just above it to make a shelf for candles and flowers.





Don't forget to send me your green ideas and I'll post them on my blog!
