How to make a beaded rainbow DNA design

April 26, 2021 by Stefanie Girard

With science and medicine in the news practically every day on every channel I was looking around for elements that might be fun to incorporate into art and craft projects. I spotted these rainbow DNA beaded earrings. I was thinking about making them big with maybe recycled drinking straws or tp tubes for the center parts and big pony beads or styrofoam balls? I wonder what else DNA could be made of? Pop on over to the blog Gwen Beads for the tutorial on how to make DNA double helix beaded earrings.

Upcycled Glass Solar Garden Mushrooms – A Whimsical DIY Delight

Looking to add a touch of magic to your garden? The Upcycled Glass Solar Garden Mushrooms tutorial on Instructables by CrazyClever is a fantastic project that combines creativity, sustainability, and a bit of whimsy.

This DIY guide takes you through the process of transforming old chandelier glass parts into enchanting mushroom-shaped garden lights. The bell-shaped glass diffusers are perfect for this project—they naturally resemble mushroom caps, have ample openings to let sunlight charge the solar panels, and emit a soft, ambient glow rather than the harsh brightness of standard LEDs.

The stems are crafted from cement, shaped around the solar light stakes using cling wrap. This method not only gives each mushroom a unique, organic look but also ensures they are sturdy and weather-resistant. The project is designed to be loose and organic, encouraging creativity without the need for precise measurements.

  • Upcycling Techniques: Transforming old glass items into functional and decorative pieces.

  • Mushroom Crafting: Creating unique mushroom shapes using simple materials.

  • Outdoor Lighting: Incorporating solar lights into your garden décor.

If you’re looking for a fun, eco-friendly project that adds charm to your outdoor space, these upcycled glass solar garden mushrooms are a delightful choice. The tutorial is easy to follow, and the results are both practical and enchanting.
