Teach Kids to Use Sticker Sheet Scraps
By 15mhhm15
My child loves glittery stickers, glue, or pens! Even though there are no more shiny glitter stars - you could teach your child that, the sticker sheets are still useable and not to waste scraps that can be used.

Cleaning mold off leather is easy, using glycerin soap and warm water and a soft rag. Wipe off excess soap with a dry rag, then hang item out in the sun if it's a nice day, or put in the dryer on high heat for 3-5 minutes. Smells great too!

I love my older more comfortable brassieres but they tend to get rough on the edge so I decided to try sewing some really soft scrap material on the edge to get more life out of the bra.

My mom's neighbor made these awesome pumpkin planters at a special event at a nearby nursery. One is a jack-o-lantern filled with ferns, succulents, and grasses to create the hair and face. I love the warty texture on the pumpkin too!
