DIY: BEACH CRAFT PLASTER MOLDS

This beach craft was just as much fun for kids as it was for the adults. Great idea for a camping trip or day at the beach. Crowds will begin to form as people who pass by will want to join in the fun!

SUPPLIES: 

Plaster from a craft store: buy several boxes.

Mixing bowl and spoon- or beach bucket

Paint brush for smooth off sand after it dries.

String, shells, dried lavender flowers, or any extra decoration you want to add to the craft.

(Place a string at the top with a loop and allow to dry - it is an instant hanger already attached).

Allow the plaster to completely dry (about 30 minutes) before removing

Create your project in a dense area of sand... near the seashore where the sand is a bit moist.

Create any type of mold in the sand... a flower, a sea start, a handprint, etc.

A Sea Star here with a little lavender flowers placed first

 Here we have a hand print mold

- Dried Lavender Flowers were placed in the mold before pouring plaster

A small bowl, a smiley face and a sea star forms


-create some fun words in the sand and use the saved photo for a future greeting card-

Pink Grapefruit Margaritas

Springtime is here and entertaining in the warm weather is just around the corner. For a larger crowd I find serving margaritas a bit easier "pitcher style". This is a nice drink with or without the Tequila.

Ina Garten's Pink Grapefruit margaritas and pre-salt rimmed glasses work well in a large pitcher for a dinner party. I did a little blending of ingredients prior to adding the tequila and it made the mixture a little bit frothier and creamy. Add some fresh grapefruit wedges for a nice fresh touch. For salted rim glasses: dip glass edges in water and use kosher or sea salt spread out on a plate to get an even coating.
