Unconventional Offerings And Devotional Acts For Apollo And Hermes

If you're fifteen or older an still sleep with a stuffed animal please reblog this.

Look what I made 😊 Idk what it is it called, a planner holder maybe? However the base is made out of a big English to Swedish lexicon. The outside material is from an old tablecloth and the inside from a pillow cover. I just glued the fabric to the book. The planner was gray from the beginning so I just used some fabric and cute washitape. Then I just made some pockets and stuff to hold pens, papers and stickers 🌻❤

Glamrock Bonnie's Blue Raspberry Glazed Popcorn

Ingredients

8 cups popped popcorn (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of kernels)

1 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup light corn syrup

1/3 cup water

1 package (0.13 ounces) blue raspberry flavored drink mix (unsweetened)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Blue food coloring (optional)

Cooking spray or oil for coating Instructions

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Place the popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl, ensuring there are no unpopped kernels.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, blue raspberry drink mix, and salt. Stir continuously until the sugar is dissolved.

Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook without stirring until it reaches 250°F (121°C) on a candy thermometer (hard ball stage).

Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the baking soda. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble up.

Add a few drops of blue food coloring if desired and mix well.

Pour the hot syrup over the popcorn in the mixing bowl, stirring gently to coat the popcorn evenly.

Spread the coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet, breaking up any large clumps.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the popcorn is crisp and the glaze has hardened.

Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before breaking it into clusters. Enjoy popcorn!

Feel free to adjust the amount of blue raspberry flavoring or food coloring to suit your taste preferences!

Goblin Table Manners

It is important that any polite young goblin keep his table manners in mind:

Elbows should be kept off the table: by keeping your elbows off the table you keep them ready to jab anyone who gets too close to your food.

When confronted with numerous eating utensils a good rule of thumb is to start by stealing the shiniest ones first

Eating with your hands is the sign of a properly brought up young goblin

There have been several conversations on the proper way to eat soup. Scooping soup into your mouth with your hands, lifting the bowl to slurp it noisily and putting your face into the bowl to drink are all acceptable.

Taking food off other peoples plates is a helpful and kindly thing to do, you are keeping their reflexes sharp and teaching them to guard their meal

Talk to both of your neighbors at the table unless they are dull in which case just shout to whomever you find interesting

Should an argument or difference of opinion break out try to calm the situation by biting the person you disagree with

Please keep in mind that many non goblins live in homes tragically devoid of moss, algae or interesting stones. For that reason it is recommended that you do not bring up such things lest the host be saddened and stop bringing you food

If you enjoyed this post, consider buying me a Ko-fi!

new tutorial, this time for "fake" medals you can use to decorate your jacket or any stuff really.

give yourself a weird award you yourself came up with, coorperations do it all the time!

stuff you will need:

-scissors

-variation of pliers

-a stencil, the shape you want the fabric part of ur medal to be, make it a bit bigger so youll have room to sew

-piece of fabric two times the size of your stencil

-sewing needle

-sewing thread, i use dental floss

-safety pin

-paperclip, or just iron wire, around 1 mm Ø

-bottlecap

start with cutting out the two pieces of fabric for your medal using a stencil

pin em to eachother, with the sides you want to be on the outside, facing inwards.

sew along the side but keep the top open, so you can flip it inside out.

now you can flip in inside out, and fold the top around the safety pin, and sew it down

make sure the side of the pin that doesnt open is the one being sewn down. the opening part should be on top.

bend the paperclip into something resembling the shapes in the pic below using the pliers, doesnt need to look good, mine sure dont

bend the edges of the bottlecap to the inside, and pin the hook part of the right iron wire thing down under the edge

connect the iron wire hoop you made (left in picture) to the piece of iron wire on the bottlecap. fold the point of the fabric part of the metal around the hoop and sew it down.

should look something like this.

now you can add decorations, you can paint the cap aswell as the fabric part, using patterned fabrics can also make ur medals look nicer.

ive seen people advise using modgepodge to seal the painted cap, instead of nailpolish, i dont have modpodge where i live but use that if youre able to get ur hands on it.

i hope this was clear, let me know if you want tutorials on any other stuff. i like doing them a lot.
