No craft spend January had a little blip, this resin button mould somehow arrived with the justification that it was practical not crafty.
First makes are glittery – as you can see from the photo. With silver Perlen pen (a version of Stickles or Nuvo drops) mixed into the clear UV resin to make an opaque pair.
Functional, personalised buttons. Of course they aren’t crafty at all! I just have to tackle my button stash now…
An experiment in DIY healthy which turned out very well indeed!
I ‘fried’ old fashioned oats in just enough coconut oil (I used a mug of oats and a tablespoon of oil) until they started to toast – a good 5 minutes of stirring – then added in a spoon of honey.
Once it was well mixed, I turned off the heat and stirred through some shredded coconut, chopped walnuts and almonds, some seeds and some chopped dates.
Various recipes suggested a little salt, olive oil rather than coconut and all sorts of variation on the fruit, seed, nuts but this seems like a free and easy way to make your own version of granola.
Once cooled, store in a jar or tin well out of sight or you will snack and graze through it too quickly.
