I. Tiffany Windsor, Aleene Jackson & Heidi Borchers's Craft Tips What can I make with Mardi Gras beads? Merlene Blake The Mardi Gras beads that we have seen are usually faceted so they would look fabulous as bead garlands on a Christmas tree. You could also glue them around a foam ball or foam cone in rows for bright holiday decorations. How about just hanging them in the window to catch the sunlight?!! II. Great Tips For Today Tip 1 - Create Sand Art With Clear Empty Bottles: Buy play sand at your local Wal-Mart in the garden center, then purchase food coloring paste, hot glue gun/sticks, stones, trim, floral accents, etc. In the craft department. In a disposable bowl or paper cup, mix about 1 cup of sand with a tablespoon of food coloring paste. Use a funnel and store them in your water bottles (I save my flavored coffee creamer containers). You can mix colors to get a variety of colors before you start or add more paste to make a more intense color. Add the colored sand by spoonfuls, placing a funnel in the bottle, alternate colors until the bottle is full. You can lean the bottle to get different effects. Apply a bead of hot glue around the top of the bottle; screw the lid on to seal the sand in the bottle. You can then accent/cover the lid with stones, shells, lace, ribbon, feathers, etc. to match your color theme. This is a great craft for pre-teens and teens, they love it! Tip 2 - Coloring Your Floor Tiles To paint on ceramic tile you would first need to rough it up some so that the paint has something to adhere to. I would suggest Emulsabond, purchase at any paint store, it is a liquid sandpaper, less mess, then you will need to use either a porch and patio paint, Benjamin Moore makes a good one, or a oil based high gloss. Whichever you choose, once it is very dry (at least 7 days to cure fully) coat entire floor with a oil based floor polyurethane. This will ensure that your designs will not come up off the floor. I hope this helps.
