Boxes Into Baskets

• 

This basket is made from an ordinary cardboard box, 4 ply jute, a hot glue gun, many glue sticks, and a whole lot of love.

• 

First, using scissors, I cut the flaps off the box.

• 

Next, I wrapped my sad, flap-less box with the jute, gluing every bit of it along the way.

• 

Then, I continued wrapping and wrapping and wrapping.
Finally, when I reach the top, I was so excited, as if I had just climbed my way to the peak of Mt. Everest.

• 

To finish off the basket, I quickly whipped up a custom size liner using inexpensive, white muslin fabric.

• 

I love the look and it really didn’t take too long. Now, I just need to make a few more of these to shove on my bathroom shelves.

How to Bleach Pine Cones

l

Pine cones are a fun accent for wreaths and floral arrangements, and they also look beautiful displayed on their own on a mantel or coffee table. While they are usually associated with fall or winter, pine cones can enhance your home all year long, especially when they are bleached. Bleaching gives the pine cones an aged, whitewashed patina that is works for both modern and rustic décor schemes.

Gather Materials

• Pine cones
• Liquid bleach, gallon size
• Plastic bucket
• Rubber gloves
• Ceramic or glass plate
• Brick
• Newspapers

Jonathan Fong

Place Pine Cones in a Bucket

Line your work surface with newspapers in case the bleach splashes. Dust off any excess dirt from the pine cones and place them in the plastic bucket. For best results, bleach pine cones in small batches to make sure that the gallon of bleach will cover all the pine cones in the bucket. You can reuse the same gallon of bleach for more than one batch.

Pour Bleach Into the Bucket

Slowly pour the bleach into the bucket until the pine cones are covered.

Weigh Down the Pine Cones

The pine cones need to be fully submerged in the bleach, but they will want to float up to the surface. To prevent this from happening, place a ceramic or glass plate on top of the pine cones with a brick on top of the plate to keep it down. Wear rubber gloves at this point, as you will be touching the bleach.

Jonathan Fong

Let the Pine Cones Air Dry

Leave the pine cones in the bleach overnight, for a maximum of 24 hours. You will notice that the pine cones have closed up. Wearing rubber gloves, remove the brick, plate and pine cones, and place the pine cones on paper towels. Take the pine cones outdoors and let them dry naturally. As they dry, they will open up again. The process usually takes one to two weeks, depending on the humidity. Air drying them outdoors will eliminate any bleach smell. If you wish to scent your pine cones, store them in a sealed container with several drops of an essential oil for a month.

Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream

INGREDIENTS

• 1 ripe avacado
• 2 large or 3 medium bananas – frozen, chopped into pieces
• 1/4 c cocoa powder
• pinch sea salt
• 1 tsp maple syrup [optional]

• 2-3 Tbsp cacao nibs, shelled and crumbled [optional if you want choc chips in your ice cream]

METHOD

Blend banana, avocado and salt using a food processor or immersion blender until thick and smooth. Stir through cocoa powder with a spoon until well combined. Add syrup if using. Stir through cacao chips if using.

Pour into a wide flat dish or container and place in freezer. Stir well every 30 minutes or so, breaking up frozen edges and mixing until smooth. Do this approximately 4 times. Alternatively use an ice cream maker, following manufacturer instructions.

Set out for 15 or 20 minutes to soften slightly before using, it is easier to scoop this way. Sharing is optional.

COOK’S NOTES

• The avocado adds fat [good fat, not bad fat] and creaminess. Make sure to use a ripe avocado that doesn’t have stringy brown bits. No one will ever know it’s in there unless you tell them.
• The bananas however can be as brown as you’d like, the riper they are before you freeze them the sweeter they will be.
