Upcycled Necklace And New Shoes...

This upcycle began with a new pair of shoes...

Try with all my 'shopping' might,

I simply could not find a chunky necklace in a similar colour.

So what does a DIY & UPCYCLE gal do?

DIY & UPCYCLE your own of course!!

Take one old not so pretty chunky chain with heart necklace.

 And one can of bronze tone metallic paint...

Did I mention I LOVE SPRAY PAINT?

And spray - spray - spray!

Voila - one upcycled diy metallic necklace...

to compliment those gorgeous sparkly bronze sneaker shoes!

 I am so happy with my 'NEW' necklace.

Wouldn't one be a fabulous Mother's Day gift idea?

Use a necklace no longer worn from your jewellery box, or source one from the goodwill or dollar store.

The new sneakers now have a matching necklace!

Waffle Cone S'mores...

This brings back many a campfire memory...

marshmallows toasted over the fire...

and s'mores camp style.

 For those who don't know what a s'more is - 

it is a toasted marshmallow squished between graham crackers with chocolate.

The earliest reference to s'mores is 1927 in USA,

 when they are referred to as 'Some Mores' in a book called 'Tramping and Trailing With the Girl Scouts'.

This modern indoor kitchen version of s'mores uses waffle cones and is oven-baked.

You'll need marshmallows, waffle cones and chocolate melts in dark or milk.

Banana slices and tinned mango have also been added for a fruity twist.

Once you stuff the cone with all the goodies, you simply wrap each in tinfoil and place on a baking tray into a hot oven.

They are SWEET...

Marshmallow GOOEY...

and CHOCOLATEY.

(Not for the faint-hearted, because they are a total sugar overload.)

The kids (big & small) will love them.

So next time you pitch a tent for the kids in the backyard for camp play or an overnight sleepover.

Whip up some Waffle Cone S'mores for all to enjoy.
