Rainbow Pudding

I decided to do food now. Some of these are just too awesome to resist!
Ingredients: 3/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup cornstarch, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 cup of 2% milk, 2 cups of whole milk, 1 egg plus 3 egg whites, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract (have it clear if you can) or 1 vanilla bean, gel food coloring in rainbow colors.
Supplies: Saucepan, whisk, 1 small mixing bowl for each color you use, clear bowls small clear juice glasses or tall shot glasses, a disposable pastry bag for each color.
Step 1: Add the sugar, cornstarch, and salt to a medium saucepan (preferably stainless steel). Whisk the ingredients then add 1/2 a cup of whole milk. Stir until it's thick.
Step 2: Whisk the remaining milk (2% and whole), cooking over low heat. Constantly stir with a wood spoon for 15 minutes. Do NOT let the mixture boil.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk 2 eggs until gently beaten. Slowly add about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture to the eggs, whisking as you do so. Then pour the egg and milk mixture into the remaining milk mixture.
Step 4: Cook over low heat again for 5 minutes. Don't let it boil. Remove from heat, then stir in butter and vanilla.
Step 5: Add the pudding to a medium bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, pressing it against the pudding until it's airtight. Refrigerate for about an hour.
Step 6: Divide the pudding evenly among the medium mixing bowls. Add a different color food coloring to each bowl. Stir and add more food coloring until it reaches the desired color.
Step 7: Divide the colored pudding into the pastry bags, or just spoon the pudding into bowls. Snip off the end of each pastry bag so there's a half-inch diameter hole. Pipe the pudding into each bowl so it shows rainbow colors like the picture above.
These are pretty looking and probably taste delicious. Tip: you can skip steps 1-4 if you already have vanilla pudding. Well, I hope you have fun making (and eating) these!

Cereal Box Pencil Case

Supplies: Cereal box, pencil, scissors, ruler, clear tape, hook and loop fastener, scoring tool (A butter knife will work)
Step 1: Open a cereal box at the seams and flatten it out.
Step 2: Cut out the pencil case template (it'll be at the website I got this from) and put it on top of the flattened box. Trace onto the cardboard the shape of the template and cut it out.

Step 3: With the pencil, mark the score lines where they are indicated on the template. Place the ruler on the cardboard cutout where you marked the lines. Run your paper scoring tool along these lines. Fold at the lines.

Step 4: Fold up the pencil case at the score lines and tuck the bottom tab inside the bottom of the case. Place a small piece of clear tape to secure the tab in place. Place tape along the long side of the case.

Step 5: Attach hook and loop fasteners to the flap on the inside of the case.

You can paint this if you want. I think it would look better that way. You see I have pictures for the different steps. I got those from the website. Well, I hope you have fun making pencil cases.

Paper Sunflowers

I copied the exact instructions from the website, so no guesswork needed!
Supplies: Yellow paper plate, yellow yarn, brown yarn, green paint, stick.
Step 1, To make a yarn sunflower, first cut an odd number of petals around the edge of a yellow paper plate. Tape the end of a length of yellow yarn (we used 16 feet for the dinner plates) to the back. Wrap the yarn around the plate, going from one notch to its match across the plate. Tie the two ends together at the back.
Step 2, Next, to make the weaving easier, wind up a bobbin. Start by anchoring the end of a 5- or 6-yard length of brown yarn by winding it around your forefinger a couple of times. Then wrap the rest of the yarn around your whole hand. When you have about a foot left, carefully pull the wound yarn from your hand. Wrap the loose end around the center of this yarn a few times and tie it to secure.
Step 3, Find the end of the yarn inside the bobbin and tie it around the intersection of the yellow yarn on the plate's front. Weave the brown yarn around the spokes of yellow yarn, as shown. The yarn should pull neatly from the inside of the bobbin. If you run out of yarn, make and tie on a new bobbin.
Step 4, When your blossom is done, tuck the end of the yarn under the woven section. For a stem, paint a stick green, and tuck it into the yarn on the back of the plate.
These look beautiful! I hope you have fun making them.

Soda Tab Light

Supplies: Lots and lots of soda can tabs, a light case, glue.
Step 1: Glue the soda can tabs to a light case, let it dry.
Step 2: Put the light case over the light.
I know, in this picture it isn't glued to a light case, but I have no idea how they got that round shape! This could also work with lampshades. This could substitute a disco ball.

Colored Pencil Bracelet/Necklace

Supplies: Colored/normal pencils, saw, string.
Step 1: Use the saw to cut the pencils into little pencil segments.
Step 2: By some means (I don't know how they did it) drill a tiny hole through each pencil segment. If you can find a way, you could poke out the lead and string it through that.
Step 3: Sting the beads onto a string, tie it, and wear it as a bracelet or necklace.
These are like button crafts: it looks amazing and makes it obvious you do crafts! These are great. Please, if you know a way to drill a tiny hole through a pencil segment or poke out the lead, leave a comment. Thank you.

Nutella Strawberries

Supplies: Nutella, strawberries.
Step 1: Put a dollup of Nutella on each strawberry.
I know I don't usually do food, but these look so yummy! You could do raspberries instead of strawberries.

Tiny Ball-o-Cute

Supplies: Ball of yarn, glue, two black, round, hole-less buttons.
Step 1: Glue the buttons into the ball of yarn.
For all you kniters and crocheters out there, if you have a ball of yarn that you think is just plain out boring, stick the buttons in and don't glue so you can have a little friend watching you knit. You could glue black ball bearings in instead of buttons.
