Carton Wallet

Recycle a milk or orange juice carton into a clever carrying case for change, trading cards, and more. The carton's cap keeps the wallet closed.

What you'll need

• Half gallon milk or juice carton with plastic cap, rinsed
• Scissors
• Paper towels
• Tape
• Wallet Template
• Ballpoint pen
• Ruler
• Craft knife (optional)
• Butter knife

How to make it

1. Cut open the carton so it lies flat, as shown; put aside the cap for now. Dry the inside with the paper towels. Tape the template on top of the carton so that the top circle lines up with the spout. 
   Mark the outline of the template with a ballpoint pen. Using firm pressure, trace the lower circle and the dotted lines of the template so that they transfer to the carton. (This will score the lines for easier folding.) A ruler will help you mark the straight lines. Cut out the shape from the carton.
2. Use scissors to cut out the lower circle as marked. (Tip: To make cutting out the circle easier, first make an X with a craft knife.) Use a ruler and a butter knife to further score the fold lines.
3. Following the fold lines you marked, create an accordion fold on each side of the wallet.
4. Tightly squeeze the accordion folds. Fold the top flap down, pushing the spout through the hole. Screw on the cap to keep the flap in place.

Kool-Aid Tie-Dye

In case the wholesomeness of Kool-Aid wasn't already questionable . . . . Check out what great tie-dye it makes! 

• Wear gloves so that your hands do not not get stained. 
• The formula for each color is:
   ~> 1 oz. vinegar per 1 package of Kool-Aid
   ~> Mix until dissolved.
• Mix in squeeze bottles for easiest application.
• Pull and twist your T-shirt into different shapes and secure with rubber bands.
• Saturate areas gathered by the rubber bands with a color.  Keep the rubber bands on and set t-shirts in the sun to dry. You and your child can try as many different colors as you like—just be sure to let each color dry before moving on to the next.
• When all colors are completely dry, remove all of the rubber bands and hang the shirts outside to dry.
• To set the colors, iron your totally dry shirts on medium-high, using an ironing cloth (a cotton rag will work just as well too) between the shirt and the iron. 
• Let the shirt set for 24 hours before washing. To be safe, wash separately the first time.
• Once it's washed it's ready to wear!
