Okay, 1st, i'll discuss PAPER! So you know how some of you have moms who like to scrapbook? Yeah, well i do. And i was cutting out shapes with the little shape cutters, and before you know it, i had drawn a face, on a paper star, and then a STAR was born! Literally! So Star Buddy and Pickles became friends, and then i thought, "what if something happened to Star Buddy?!" the thought worried me, after all paper is very fragile. So i got some clear packing tape, and sandwhiched him in between, sticky sides touching, smoothed it out, and cut off most of the tape hanging off the sides, and VIOLA! He was indistructable! (Sort of..) He's now water resistant, bend resistant, cat resistant, evil slime monster resistant, well, you get the idea!
Okay, still on the topic of paper, lets make party hats! Since todays New Years Eve, you know you need party hats to umm well, party, and since we dont have any, why not make some?!
Materials
Paper (12"x18 is best)
glue
scissors
Use the 12" side as the height and the 18" to go around the head. To make the cone shape, draw a wide triangle, then change the bottom from a straight line to a curved shape.
You may want to experiment using newspaper to get the shape right.
Use whatever craft material you have on hand for the children to decorate the party hats.
While the party hats are drying, put a line of white glue down one side of the triangle. Then rolled it into a cone shape. Use a paper clip on the top and bottom to hold it together until the glue dries. Then decorate until your heart's content!
Okay, now im gonna change the subject to delicious cold drinks, I love Slurpees but since we arent gonna go buy one late tonight, why not try to have something like it ready for tonight?! This is my own recipe! First, get some juice or soda, put it into cups, and stick them in the freezer for a couple hours, once its getting later and you want to pump up the party with delicious coldness, take them out of the freezer, and dump into a blender, they get like giant ice cubes, so you might have to use a spoon, or run the side of the cup under hot water, add a little extra of the same juice/soda (non-frozen) and blend until a slushie texture! Pour into awesome cups, and drink up! Cheers!
That's all the rambling for now, I have to let you rest your minds from my rambling sometimes, don't i?
Have a Platypus New Year!
That is awesome sauce. You should add on fun facts that male platypi are poisonous. They have thingys on there back legs. They arent usually deadly but really painful.
