I had to tell you this because of Dina's comment. My mom asked me if I used mine(she made them 3 months ago) and I still haven't I think they are to cute to put in water. Although I do use them as pot holders.

Newspaper Shoes

When I was 8 my big sister taught us how to make newspaper shoes. It very easy and fun for you to do with your kids. This is also a good way to put those extra newspapers to good use.

How to roll your Newspapers


Top and side view


You will need:
Any old newspapers( comics make them more colorful)
Tape

Steps:

1. Gather up all your old newspapers.
2. Start by rolling up your first sheet of newspaper. (Look at picture above) When it's all rolled up, tape it together to form a long strip of newspaper.
3. Make about 10 more newspaper rolls or more if you have a larger foot.
4. Tape all the newspaper rolls together at the ends so you have a very long strip.
5. Start rolling the long roll in a spiral shape until you are done. Tape it together.
6. Make 1 more newspaper roll and tape it a little more than half way up your shoe. That's the top of your shoe.
7. Decorate your shoe if you would like to, but you don't have to.
8. Repeat all the above steps and make an identical shoe. Put on your shoes and be stylish!

*Shoes are a bit slippery if you have wood floors*

My Mommies Hobby

For some strange reason I haven't posted any posts for Homemade Thursday. I just realized I'm never home on that day. I usually running errands or at my moms house. So today is my mommies day on my blog because I love her so much and she's very supportive of it.

My mom loves to crochet and I love having her make me things so here are some items I gotten. Now the best part about this is my mom loves when I do giveaways on my blog and will supply me with a new item every week to give away starting tomorrow. So be sure to come back tomorrow to enter.

I also want to keep my readers involved so leave me a comment with your suggestions on what items I'll ask her to make. Also leave some color choices so I can get a basis on what you all like.
