Puzzle Pieces Refrigerator Frame

By lalala...

Puzzle Pieces Refrigerator FrameThis is a magnetic photo frame my son made for me years ago at school for Mother's Day. They cut out a frame from a piece of cardboard, glued puzzle pieces to it, spray painted the whole thing, and applied some glitter before it dried. Then they taped a photo to the back and glued on some magnets.

Removing Tar From Fabric

By jdpark6996

Use GoJo, Fast Orange, or similar products which are hand cleaners used to dissolve oils or grease. Moisten BOTH sides of the fabric to loosen, dissolve and disperse stain. Work both sides of fabric simultaneously and gently let the product break up the stain. Do not overrub or break down the fabric. When stain has dissolved, wash immediately as normal.
