Pinterest Project Friday

Jul 16, 2013

I know, the title says Friday and it's Tuesday, but hear me out. My sister Shelly and I have decided that far too often we pin things on our pinterest boards and then never do anything with them. My excuse was always that I lived in Japan and I had limited access to things needed for such projects. Great excuse, right? Well no more! We are taking advantage of pinterest and the millions of good ideas on the inter-web (and living close to each other!). Every Friday Shelly and I are getting together and doing a project from pinterest. We trade off picking the project each week. I'm trying to stick with crafts but it's hard when there are so many tasty looking dishes to try.

I picked our first project and it was headbands. I saw these cute ones and decided to make my own. I'm a novice sewer at best but I figured we could handle this. They were easy to make and adorable to wear. Mom and baby alike!


Last Friday it was Shelly's turn to pick out project and she chose these candy covered pretzels. Again, a super easy project. We tried them with hugs, rolos, and mini reeses peanut butter cups. They were all delish! The hugs were my favorite though. The rolos didn't look very pretty (the caramel melted out) but they tasted awesome. The peanut butter cups were tasty but we ended up using two pretzels per cup because even the mini size were a little big.


So far we've had a great time picking, planning, and doing projects. It's my turn again this week and I still haven't decided what we're doing. Maybe something a little more complicated? I always go for the easy projects!

  1. We make those hug pretzels at Christmas... a good way to do it is to get the square pretzels and do the hugs and then when you take them out of the oven push an M&M into the melted hug... delicious! We just do red and green at Christmas but you could do all M&Ms year round.
