The craft that scares Pearl and causes her to hide under her bed!

My inspiration for this craft came from Maria at "Make and Takes".  I thought it was adorable and it looked really simple to make.  Not to mention, I've been dying to get my glue gun fired up again.  It's been over a week now and I'm starting to get the shakes.  I'm seriously consideing bronze dippiping my first glue gun so that I'll have it as a keepsake.  Makes me wonder what strange and crazy items have been requested for bronze dipping. 

Of course I had to google it!  Otherwise, I'd be lying in bed tonight thinking about it.

Apparently, many strange and crazy items have been subject to bronzing.  Including this bra!  Even a McDonald's hamburger has been bronze dipped. 
See, I'm not that weird after all.
Have you ever considered bronze dipping a precious keepsake?
No? You should try it.  You can buy home kits
{In case you're wondering, bronzing is a process in which an item is encased in a layer of pure copper. The copper is oxidized and then polished to achieve a lustrous shine thus creating a lasting and memorable keepsake.  I've done a couple pairs of baby shoes) 


Are you not wondering what the story behind this bronze dipped bra is?  Leave me a comment and I'll tell you.  It's actually quite fascinating


Ok, back to this week's craft idea. 

Isn't this Monster Step Stool Cute?

Yes I realize Opal has two different socks on. 

This seems to be "par for the course" in our household

Apparently, {this} craft didn't help to solve my missing sock problem.

All of the kids loved this stool and actually ended up fighting over it.  Well, that is except for Pearl.  Every time Pearl sees this step stool she freaks out and starts crying.  I've found her hiding under her crib one day while Opal tormented her with it.  This is the same child who is afraid of the dandelions that brush up against her leg.  My poor delicate child who is scared of a step stool.  Totally putting that one in her baby book.
