Attempted: Colored Ice Bunting

On Tuesday, I was a complete BLAH.  It wasn't until 4:30 that I finally got my motivation about me and found this great little idea for a winter craft.   We filled up our muffin pans with water, added food coloring and a strong string, froze them outside on the deck and today I finally brought them in and strung them up.  It was fun for Henry to make several new colors out of the four colors that I had for food coloring.   Stringing them up was kind of a pain in the ass.  Dye all over my precious little hands and they started to melt FAST when they were brought in.  Must STRING FAST.   I love the way the look strung under the porch as you look to our door.  Good winter craft indeed.

It's darling! Ours finally melted the other day (before the huge storm), so I cut it down. Now I'm tempted to make another one! Thanks for posting. Do you mind if I include you in my roundup of ice buntings next week?
