Hot glue creation

All you need for this fun and unusual activity is water, a hot glue gun, clear and colored glue sticks and bowls or pint-size plastic deli containers.

Baskets

Fill a small bowl or deli container with water and freeze until completely solid. Pop out the ice form and set it upside down on a plastic plate. Drizzle colored hot glue in all directions directly onto the ice shape to resemble lace. When the glue comes in contact with the ice, it hardens almost immediately! Add an extra glue stick to the glue gun if necessary to make a complete upside-down basket shape. Finally, squeeze a thick rim of glue around the base of the ice. Set the completed creation in the sink and allow the ice to melt away. Turn it over, and your basket is complete.
