Home Decor

The flower is my Grandmother's pendant. To give the box a glossy finish I used Rust-Oleum High Performance Enamel Paint. However it takes a long time to dry and I wasn't able to finish my craft in a day. The next time I want a glossy finish I will use the Craft Acrylic paint and then paint a  glaze over it to give it a glossy finish.
Jewelry Box
                                                                           Supplies:
Primer
Acrylic paint
Glaze
Old jewelry pendant
jewelry glue
paint brushes
sand paper
blue tape (optional)

Sand the box to smooth out any rough edges. Paint the box with a primer. let dry. Paint the inside of box. let dry. Paint the outside of box. If you do not have a steady hand you can use blue tape to tape the edges before you paint the outside of the box.

Insecticide Spray

I am still making lotions and potions with all of the essential oils I bought. The insect repellent (blog post 7/1/13) worked for about fifteen minutes before the mosquitoes decided the spray tasted like a marinade and NOT a repellent! The deodorant (blog post 7/3/13) worked but I would not recommend traveling with it. It was a melted mess when I arrived at our destination. I will make more and use it only in my home. My next experiment is a homemade insecticide spray. I adapted this one so my husband can use it on his garden. Insecticide Spray   1/2 head of garlic (you do not need to peel them) 1/2 T of pepper flakes 1/2 cup water   Process in a blender until smooth then pout mixture through a sieve to remove chunks of garlic or pepper flakes. This is your "base."   Pour your base mixture into a spray bottle. Add 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of Jojoba oil. Screw on top and shake.
