Stepping Stones

Backyard improvement for this years redneck summer adventures. 
I'm going to break this one in half so it will stand up like the one in the Lorax book:

I also created this one because my husband is a die-hard seminole fan:
 
I'll post more pics as they dry, and I'll also share pics of the finished walkway.

Baby Toilet Seat Covers

Using a clean seat cover I took from a bathroom, I traced a template onto a piece of leftover gift tissue paper. I traced about a half inch inside the line of the original seat cover beacause I want it to cover more, and I'm leaving the tissue paper its original size so that it covers the sides of the toilet when she goes (this way she doesn't touch the nasty potty at all when she grips the sides for stability). Keep in mind, I would not flush these because of the size and material. Just wad them up and toss them when you are finished.

Materials:
1 Toilet seat cover for template
Tissue paper
Crayon
Scissors


Step by step:
Lay out original seat cover on a large flat surface.
Lay the tissue paper on top, centered with longest sides on sides of template and shorter sides as front and back. Keep the front longer than the back for better coverage.
Trace inside hole with a crayon or soft pencil (pen may rip the paper).
Cut along line and tear completely off from main piece (this way nothing touches the toilet water so you can easily wad and dispose of after use).
Fold. Carry in diaper bag or purse.
