swellmomma Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I guessed AA batteries, duct tape and staples. All the things that seem like they should be for a project but could just be for regular household needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragons in the flower bed Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 The butter was for bread. The batteries were for the television remote control. The dish soap was for washing dishes. Nobody got all three! :lol: Some homeschoolers you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragons in the flower bed Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 I guessed AA batteries, duct tape and staples. All the things that seem like they should be for a project but could just be for regular household needs. You had one right -- the AA batteries. The duct tape and staples are for constructing antique weaponry from cardboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought regular ol' cows milk for cleaning the "woad" off the kids' skin after we dress up like Celts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragons in the flower bed Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 conditioner, mousse and milk. Ooh, not a one! The conditioner is an agent for tinting their hair with the orange kool-aid, and the mouse is to help their hair stick up in spikes. We're going for the authentic terrifying Celtic warrior look.

dragons in the flower bed Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 I guess the butter, the yarn and the oranges. The yarn is for the weaponry, and the oranges are for a lesson in what causes day and night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragons in the flower bed Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 crayola claycontruction paper brown yarn I don't think I've ever had a regular household use for construction paper, but I definitely have been eyeing the clay (which is for making a monk's cross) and thinking that I could transform skinny PVC pipe into curtain rods with it. Not this month, though -- we need it for school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to decorate a house on the way cheap, here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 You were so close, Parrothead. We drink rice milk around here. I bought regular ol' cows milk for cleaning the "woad" off the kids' skin after we dress up like Celts. I can't wait to see the pictures. My guess was a toss up between the dish soap and the milk. I've had to use both for projects here, and I couldn't put them together with anything else. I was thinking science more than history though. But I would have never known that milk will clean up "woad" even if I had been in history mode. :lol: Enjoy your project/parade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you do with the clay wrt the rods, though? I'm trying to decorate a house on the way cheap, here. Brett brought home a bunch of plastic pipe a few months ago for no particular reason. It says 1/2" all over it even though it's a little bit bigger. I have no idea how much this stuff costs. He saw it somewhere and thought I might be able to do a project with it. First, I'd cut it to the width of my windows or a little bigger, the right width to place on brackets. Then I'd wrap a thin layer of clay around each edge (just the part that would show out of the end of the curtains). I'd add some clay to the very edge and shape it into a leaf or whatever goes with the decor in the room. If you're not artistically inclined, you could make a globular shape and paint stripes on it. I'm not sure whether or not the clay would remain stuck to the pipe after drying, so I'd want to test one edge first. If it does stick to the pipe, I'd have to make one cap removable.
