Recipe for Disaster

Leave a comment

NOTE: This is not an edible item, for either pets or humans.  I made this up all by myself (hurray)!  This is a good thing to make on days when everything is going wrong.

This is my pet digital butterfly. Her name is Neobyte.

Ingredients

  • a paper lunch bag (any color)
  • some Elmer’s glue
  • some glitter

Directions

  1. Pour the glue into the paper bag, coat as much of the inside of the bag as is possible, but leave the upper 3″ uncoated!
  2. Dump glitter into the bag.
  3. Close the bag tightly with your fist, around that upper 3″ part.
  4. Shake the bag vigorously.
  5. Open the bag and set aside to dry, overnight.
  6. When you’re having a bad day, look inside the bag: ooo, pretty, pretty!
