Do you feel a draft? Rebecca Autry Creations

November 10, 2019 by rautry

Here is something I learned today. Our living room has been a bit chili even though our inside temp says 75.

Well while we were waiting on snow to appear we had the curtains pulled back and I went to shut them a little and noticed the breeze coming from the top of the window. Sure enough it was open.

I then decided to check the other window. Same thing it was open at the top.

About an hour later after dinner we decided to get the kids ready to go play outside in the snow, as I went to the restroom I felt another draft similar to the one before. I checked the window and yup that one too was open.

I then decided to check our bedroom windows and yup those were open too! So guess what I decided to go through out the house and check them all.

Most of the remaining windows were also open at the top.

The odd thing is all of them were unlocked and opened about an inch each.

So do me a favor and go take a look at all your windows and make sure they are open or shut to your liking because you might feel an unwanted draft!

Thanks for reading.

How to Make a Old School Batman Piñata

Pinatas are fun and lets face it they don’t come cheap when it comes to crushing it to pieces. This easy and budget friendly tutorial will alleviate the stress of spending tons of money of something that will not last very long. Let get to it with your very own Batman Pinata.

What you Need:

– Cardboard box/Large balloon

– Tissue Paper (blue, black, white)

– Bungy Cord

– Packaging Tape or Duck Tape

– Flour

– Warm Water

– Glue

– Scissors

– Pencil

– 2 inch strips of paper preferably notebook paper or newspaper

– Candy and piñata fillings (be creative and have items that connect to the theme)

How to Make:

1. First take your balloon and air it up to the desired size. Tie it off.

2. Take your paper and shred into 2 inch strips if not already done.

3. Make a paste of flour and warm water.

4. Carefully take a strip of paper and dip into paste, add it to the balloon. Cover the entire balloon in one layer.

5. let it sit and dry you can use a hair dryer on a lower setting to dry faster. Depending on how wet the paste is the longer it takes to dry.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until ballon is covered and dry with desired amount of layers. Easy to break piñatas 4-5 layers, harder to break 10 layers.

7. Once the piñata is very dry you can pop the balloon inside if it has not already popped. Cut out a 4 inch by 4 inch area on 3 side to allow it to flap open, this is the entry way for the candy.

8. Reinforce handle (bungy cord) with cardboard and tape. Create a hole at the top of the piñata for the handle just enough the bungy cord can fit thru. Secure with tape.

9. Now the fun part! Time to decorate! First draw on the piñata your pattern to follow. Cut tissue paper in small squares about 2 inches by 2 inches.

10. Use the pencil, eraser side and place in the middle of a tissue paper. Dip in a glob of glue and place on the piñata in the desired area according to your pattern. Do this for entire piñata.

I'm so poor I made my kids Costumes! Rebecca Autry Creations

November 10, 2019 by rautry

I’m so poor I made my kids Costumes!

Yes you read that right, our family is very poor right now. There is alot going on and I will save you from the details but here is the honest truth. I do not having money to buy my kids costumes this year. Last year I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to review costumes.

This year my son’s and daughter asked to be a Super Mario Character mostly because we just finished a Super Mario Themed Birthday Party just a month ago.

My oldest was set on Being Mario. I has asked for places to find overalls. Well unfortunately I was not able to find him a pair. But with the material my sister gave me and a hat from the photo props I had I made him Toad!

I did however find my middle child a pair of overalls and a green shirt and then I used material I had to make him his hat. He became Luigi!

My daughter on the other had has been given dress up clothes so we have a fairy and while I was adding to her collection awhile ago we had gotten a Sleeping Beauty dress similar to princess peach for $4 shipped. So she went at as Princess Peach in her mind. Don’t try to tell her otherwise!

My husband payed me a compliment and said its official I am make our Comic Con costumes when we decide to go in the future.

I simply made the kids costumes because I do not have the money to buy them costumes.

I do however recommend checking out Thrift Stores the day after Halloween because you might find them at 50% off. Last year I go a brand new Incredibles costume unfortunately it is still too big for my kids.

So did you buy or make your kids costumes this year?
