• Make A Faux Farmhouse Scale Using Dollar Tree Items
• Weighing scales are devices used to ascertain the weight of various items. ‘Weighing scales’ are also known as ‘scales’ and ‘weighing machines’. Weighing scales are available as electronic or mechanical machines, and the latter uses a spring that is measured when pressure is applied. Errors can easily occur in the measurements of weighing scales, caused by air movement, friction, magnets, temperature changes, water and moisture, among others. More efficient modern weighing scales that use a spring, have been mentioned from the 1600s, although the first known recorded design was invented by Richard Salter in 1770....

• Use Dollar Tree Stacking Bins To Make A "Toy Grocery Store"
• The average person goes to the grocery store 1.6 times a week and spends 43 minutes there, not including the time spent getting to and from the store.

• Succulent Wall Art 
• Succulents originate from dry, desert locations. Succulents first cropped up in areas with long dry seasons (such as Africa), since they store water in their leaves. They get their name from their thick, sap-filled leaves. Succulent comes from the Latin word "sucus," which means juice or sap. It's also a nod to the nourishing leaves that help these plants survive in extremely warm conditions (aka you only have to water yours once a week, since they thrive in sunlight and dry air). 3 Approximately 60 different plant families contain succulents. Including families like Cactaceae (cacti) and Xanthorrhoeaeceae (which is also home to aloe vera). You can find 'em in just about every color of the rainbow. Shades of green are a given — but you can also find succulents that are blue, purple, pink, orange, and red....

• How To Make Decorative Garden Art Balls
• A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation, or enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature. The term “garden”, which is of Germanic origin, means “yard” or “enclosure” and denotes ways of organizing earth, water, plants and, sometimes and art (sculpture, architecture …). The history of gardening may be considered as aesthetic expressions of beauty through art and nature, a display of taste or style in civilized life, an expression of an individual’s or culture’s philosophy, and sometimes as a display of private status or national pride—in private and public landscapes. In the Western Hemisphere, various Mesoamerican cultures, such as the Maya, Mixtecs, and Nahua peoples (including the Aztec Empire) had both practical and aesthetic gardening traditions. The earliest surviving detailed garden plan is Egyptian and dates from about 1400 BC – it shows tree-lined avenues and rectangular ponds. Mesopotamia, the “land between the Rivers” Tigris and Euphrates, comprises a hilly and mountainous northern area and a flat, alluvial south. Its peoples (Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, and abylonians) were urban and literate from about 3,000 BC. Evidence for their gardens comes from written texts, pictorial sculpture, and archaeology....

• DIY Cardboard Necklace Display 
• The earliest necklaces dates back to the Stone Age, some 40,000 years ago. Early necklaces were made of mollusc, bone, shells, small stones and teeth gathered from successful hunting trips. Over time, metals such as iron, bronze, gold and silver were discovered which led to new options to add to classic necklace designs. Necklaces are popular with both men and women alike. Women’s necklaces tend to be ornate and decorated with pendants, whereas men’s necklaces are typically simpler and referred to as chains....

• DIY Coffee Container Tiki Statues 
• Most often when we hear the word “Tiki” we think of carved wooden statues with piercing eyes and a menacing scowl. Some statues wear expressions of great joy or spiritual balance, while others may look more troubled or sad. The history of tiki culture dates back to ancient Polynesia. Such carvings were first discovered in Polynesia, and tiki carvings are said to represent a Polynesian God. They’re an integral part of South Pacific mythology, culture and history. Similar to the way the Christian religion sees Adam as the first created human, Maori mythology refers to Tiki as the first man. One of the most popular legends states that Tane created the first man, Tiki, then made a wife for him. Another version, however, says Tiki mixed his own blood with clay to create the first human, while another popular variation of the story claims that Tiki lived a lonely life and craved companionship. He was overjoyed when he saw his reflection in a pool of water, but his joy quickly faded as the image shattered when he dove into the pool in an effort to embrace his new-found friend. In his anguish, he covered the pool with dirt, and the earth gave birth to a female companion....

• I Never Thought Of It That Way.......Lmao!!!
• Piranhas’ bad reputation is at least partially Teddy Roosevelt’s fault. When Theodore Roosevelt journeyed to South America in 1913, he encountered, among other exotic creatures, several different species of piranha. Here’s what he had to say about them in his bestseller, Through the Brazilian Wilderness: “They are the most ferocious fish in the world. Even the most formidable fish, the sharks or the barracudas, usually attack things smaller than themselves. But the piranhas habitually attack things much larger than themselves. They will snap a finger off a hand incautiously trailed in the water; they mutilate swimmers—in every river town in Paraguay there are men who have been thus mutilated; they will rend and devour alive any wounded man or beast; for blood in the water excites them to madness. They will tear wounded wild fowl to pieces; and bite off the tails of big fish as they grow exhausted when fighting after being hooked.” Roosevelt went on to recount a tale of a pack of piranhas devouring an entire cow. According to Mental Floss, locals put on a bit of a show for Roosevelt, extending a net across the river to catch piranhas before he arrived. After storing the fish in a tank without food, they tossed a dead cow into the river and released the fish, which naturally devoured the carcass. A fish that can eat a cow makes for a great story. Given that Roosevelt was widely read, it’s easy to see how the piranha’s supervillain image spread. Scientists and explorers had knowledge of piranhas dating back to the 16th century, but Roosevelt’s tale is largely credited with dispersing the myth. Dated 1856, this sketch by French explorer Francis de Castelnau depicts a red-bellied piranha. Piranhas have lived in South America for millions of years. Today, piranhas inhabit the fresh waters of South America from the Orinoco River Basin in Venezuela up to the Paraná River in Argentina. Though estimates vary, around 30 species inhabit the lakes and rivers of South America today. Fossil evidence puts piranha ancestors in the continent’s rivers 25 million years ago, but modern piranha genera may have only been around for 1.8 million years. A 2007 study suggests that modern species diverged from a common ancestor around 9 million years ago. Also, the Atlantic Ocean rose around 5 million years ago, expanding into the flood plains of the Amazon and other South American rivers. The high salt environment would have been inhospitable to freshwater fish, like piranhas, but some likely escaped upriver to higher altitudes. Genetic analysis suggests that piranhas living above 100 meters in the Amazon have only been around for 3 million years....

• LMAO!!!
• Traffic signs play a critical role in our nation's transportation infrastructure. Consisting of physical signs placed above or near a road, they provide information to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. While you're probably familiar with the general purpose of road signs, though, you might be surprised to learn the six following facts about them. The modern road sign has origins dating back to the late 1800s, during which they were erected on U.S. roads to warn cyclists of potential hazards. The lack of transportation safety back then resulted in a high number of cycling-related injuries. As a result, several cycling organizations partnered to create road signs that warned cyclists of potential hazards. The way in which road signs are designed and used is governed by the Federal Highway Transportation Administration (FHWTA's) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Available to view online, the MUTCD contains provisions for creating and using traffic signs in the United States. Ever wonder why stop signs are octagonal? You may assume that it's because octagons are more visible than other shapes, but this isn't the case. The U.S. government actually chose octagon for the shape of stop signs because it was the cheapest to make, allowing municipalities to save money when creating new roads and upgrading existing roads with stop signs....
