Sugar lips :) A Valentine Recipe and Mold Variation of the Sugar Cube!

You may remember this post (click "this post" for the direct link)about how to impress your holiday guests with sugar cubes.
This time I substituted the water for vanilla extract. I, also, had some lip shaped molds to use for Valentine's Day... ahhh, SUGAR LIPS!!!! ;)

Take one cup of sugar and approx. 1/2 Tablespoon of extract and mix until the sugar is completely moistened. Then, press the sugar mixture into the mold. Let air dry all day or overnight (approx. 10 hours). Then, pop out the sugar cubes.

This would be a great inexpensive treat for the coffee or tea lover in your life. Simply add a box of tea, a small bag of coffee, or even a gift card to their favorite drink location. Happy Valentine's!
Remember: there is just one day left to enter the giveaway!!!!!

Valentine's Day Project and Giveaway Reminder

Don't forget to enter the Aviator hat giveaway by joining this blog as a follower and "liking" the Goosie and Boomer Bowtique Facebook page!
Now, onto business :). I had seen this tutorial on popsicle stick bracelets covered with fabric. It is a GREAT tutorial but I wanted to cover mine with all the yarn that I end up having left over from projects.
First you soak the sticks in hot water and leave them all day.

Next, take them out of the water and place them inside a small up with flat sides... leave them all night.

In the morning, they should be dry and you can pop them out of the cup!
I decided to cover mine with yarn. Since my daughter will most likely be the one wearing them, I did reinforce the yarn ends with some hot glue (just hide it on the inside).
You could embellish these with felt flowers, buttons, fabric flowers... just about anything! This is a SUPER cheap project and easy for kids!
(please note, yes, I had red popsicle sticks left over from a previous project. the color simply came off in the water when soaked... it didnt' really make a difference.)
