Looking for ways to keep yourself entertained (Jin Ai)? Instructables is a wonderful website where you can find instructions for doing just about anything. (A few of which are guaranteed to help you start building a closer relationship with your local law enforcement officers and/or ER doctors, so use some common sense.)
For your summertime pleasure, I've made a short list my favorite "how to" guides, including how to:
Make creepy cool vinyl wall art.
Construct a device that will open any padlock.
Grow a square watermelon.
Build a cheap secret compartment.
Create cute little fridge magnets.
Construct a "poor man's" lockpick.
Make glow-in-the-dark, edible jello.
Create a pocket plant.
Transform ditzy Barbie into dangerous Wonder Woman.
And my personal favorite, build a Barbie electric chair!
Enjoy!

yay! thanks! I had no idea people grew square (technically cubic xD sorry)
The padlock thing sounds interesting.
Unfortunately, I spend so much time on odd projects anyway that I doubt my mom will give me time off for them. But thanks again for the list!
My favorite is the pad lock opener
Ha. I should tell my friends about the Barbie electric chair. Some song they've been singing goes,
"I'm a Barbie girl
in my Barbie world
life is plastic
That's fantastic
you can brush my hair
and touch me everywhere
imagination
it's your creation."
Or something like that.
Omygod.... they look awsome!!! I'm so sorry I havent posted alot lately...
Hearts, Mae
The only problem with the poor man's lock pick thing is that I can't figure out how to use it x(
My dad went to MIT; I always him he should have taken the lock picking course!
* I always tell him
The padlock video was kinda funny.
I've seen those square watermelons a lot before...I thought you already "mentshunned" them. I think it's just me...
The pocket plant is pretty kawaii.
But what, exactly, do the "agents" do?
Ananka: Thanks for the site; I'll talk to my parents.
I've been meaning to make/sell something but couldn't find anything I'd be willing to make the whole summer...I don't even have enough patience to make anything more than twice!
Jin Ai: I don't know. But it seems quite mysterious and intriguing.
OK--I'm really going to put on the thinking hat for you now.
I can think of twenty uses for that padlock thing... okay, maybe only five, but still pretty cool. I'm going to make one!
Awesome! Could come in handy on those rainy summer days...
k time 2 make me a new set of lockpicks . . .yes
those islands sound alsome . . . only idk if we well need this great idea any time soon . . . it is not like the whole world is going to flood tomorrow . . . lol
also i seen your ape artical but i have never heard of just an 'ohio' one b4 . . . ohwell
plus i was still wondering when can i snatch a book 3 in the kiki strike series . . .could you at least give alll of us a hint about it in a post????
Thank You
urrm, a question: would it be okay to use an older version of Kiki's character in a story? I mean her name would be differant and her ancestry and all that. (unless it's okay with you KM, that is to use Kiki in a book wioth her name and everything and saiying that she's from Kiki Strike series. and of course saying that Kirsten Miller invented the original Kiki Strike)
But now i come up with a problem. We readers have no idea what will happen to Kiki once she's older : will she marry, be assasinated, rule Pokrovia, become an Art teacher, lose hope. I highly suspect the last two could never happen. So please respond. I would like other blog readers to also respond. I would like your opinions. I will truly value yours, KM.
Yay! Some weirdo-fun-projects to work on.
I wonder if theres an Instructable on how to build a robot. It's a dream of mine...
Thank You for the awesome list Ananka. :)
GLOW IN THE DARK EDIBLE JELLO!?!? OoO That sounds cool!
Become an art teacher? Kiki can't draw; she can't 'draw a convincing stick figure'. Maybe a school for Irregulars or something. It would be totally secret!
that's so cool! you have the best blog, and i learn from it than i did in school!
this website is cool. i think i have a new cyber-addiction.
