			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mix first three ingredients together in one bowl. <br />2. In another bowl (microwave safe) melt your coconut oil.  One minute on high is enough but keep your eye on it.  Melting it when you’ve just opened the jar might require less than a minute but if you’ve left it in the refrigerator it will require the full minute, maybe more.  <br />3. It is a good idea to refrigerate your coconut oil after you open it.  If you are planning to use it again for this or other projects take it out of your refrigerator to warm up to room temperature, measure the amount you need and put it back in again.  Otherwise you will have to scrape it out in chunks and melt it before you measure it. <br />4. Add essential oil and food colouring to melted coconut oil.  Gradually add in dry ingredients and stir until mixed.  You may have to use your fingers to mix it together if it is a bit crumbly. <br />5. Line a baking tray or pie plate with tin foil.  Place cookie cutters on it. <br />6. Press dough into cookie cutters and put into freezer.  Small ones take ½ an hour to solidify, large ones an hour.  <br />7. After the bath fizzers have set, keep them in a jar in the freezer to make sure they stay set.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a messy craft so you will need to Cover work area with something like a plastic tarp (so things don&#8217;t stick to it) or large plastic bags. </p>
<p>Blow up balloons to the size you want your finished egg decoration to be.</p>
<p>Multi colored string looks great as well as plain colored string depending on the effect you want .</p>
<p>Now Put the colored crochet string in a plastic bag and put stiffener or wood glue in it with a bit of water to dilute and make it easier to work with. Make sure string is well covered.</p>
<p>Pull string out a bit at a time from the bag, using your fingers to squeeze excess stiffener off. Wrap around the balloon in a criss cross fashion. Until it is well covered.<br />The idea is not to make it solid so allow small gaps in between the layers of thread .</p>
<p>Allow to dry <br />When egg is dry pop the balloon and remove it carefully. <br />Then you can glue ribbons, pearls, laces, or other decorations on the outside..<br />Or<br />cut it open and fill with Easter grass and other decorations then glue the seam back together with wood glue. Or you can just hang it or put it on the table as is.</p>

<p>You can and they take time since tiny. No two will be alike either. But see that is what I like the best about it. You turn those keys into santas. Yes Santas.Just enough on top for a small amount of red for h at. Then look at what you have for long beard. Wish I had a  pic of mine . I flipped everyone out a few years ago when that was their ornament for the year. Hehe pretty smart and they look great :).</p>
<p>I was kinda smart on this creation.</p>
