Anyways My days are, get up, do school, chores, eat lunch , and be BORD! It's just to cold to go play outside or even step outside! So what to do on LONG winter days are hard to live threw. Every one goes through it. So I have been on Pinterest looking a crafts to do.(But it's REALLY hard to do crafts when you have NO glue.) When I found TONS of FUN EASY crafts that also helps you to be more organized!(Which I LOVE organizing!) But there was one problem with the crafts, they all CALLED for GLUE!!!!! So the search was on! I searched the house for glue!! No luck at all! So I was on Pinterest looking at cleaning tips,(Which you can see on Pinterest.)and I stumbled across a glue recipe!!!! Which REALLY works! I tried it! The very day I made it I used about half the jar! :-)
So, I will give you the glue recipe and craft Ideas too! :-) I get really excited about these things so I just have to tell them to you! And Please at least try one of the crafts! And you can't do a homemade craft with out homemade glue! ;-)
Homemade Glue
+++++++++++++++++
Mix 1c.Flour with 1/4c. Sugar
with 1c. water. (add more water if it is still thick.)
Whisk out clumps really well.
Add 1tsp.Vinegar and mix well. Pour into
a airtight container and use! Can
keep for two weeks or more! IF you
keep it in the fridge. (It takes a little longer
to dry then other glues and also apply a lot on
your craft.
(I made this and LOVE IT!!)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(Not all of these crafts call for glue!) :-)

Marker Caddy
-------------------------------
Take a old shoe box or any small box and paint.
Or glue colorful paper WITH your homemade glue!
Take toilet paper rolls and put them in the box.
(You might want to hot glue the bottoms of the rolls
to secure them.) Keep adding until the box is full of rolls.
NOW! USE! Not only for Markers but for pens, pencils, and other
stuff! ;-) (If you are like me you would probably paint the toilet paper rolls.)

Organization Caddy!
______________________
These are REALLY handy! So Grab your 5 old cans, colorful paper, and a
hot glue gun! :-) Glue pretty paper to the cans. Add glitter and what ever you want.
Glue three cans together, add two on top and glue together, add one more glue and done!
Make sure you try different shapes! Be creative! And have fun!
(This only works if you have cans, glue gun or super glue.)
