Mardi Gras Beads Made From Gumballs

Are you psyched about Mardi Gras, but not looking forward to what you’ll have to do to ‘earn’ some beads? Jasmin of 1 Fine Cookie found a great way to do your own, while still retaining your dignity… and her version is edible. Just grab some gumballs, string or ribbon, and a drill. Party on!

The ‘how to’ can be found here, keep your shirt on!

Transforming a Coke Bottle Into Art by Eric Barclay

Covered here before at Foodiggity, Eric Barclay uses his signature style to repurpose packaging into beautiful and playful works of art. His latest work tells the story of Ranjit and Indira, using matte acrylic and utilizing the contours of the package — in this case, a 2-liter Coke bottle.

Ranjit and his elephant Indira
Carried the orphans through tiger country
And the tiger through people country
As they journeyed to the Valley
Of Never Ending Happiness

Baked Potato Bean Bag Chair

If you’re in need of some serious lounging, and still enjoy a high-carb diet, The Baked Potato Bean Bag Chair is here to help. Just grab the included butter pillow, then sit back in the innards of the potato and melt into some delicious laziness.

And perhaps for dessert, a fluffy Ice Cream Sandwich.

Behold The Peanut Butter Cup Cake

Two great tastes that taste great together… Now in comically-oversized cake form. The Peanut Butter Cup Cake is brought to us by Williams-Sonoma. And whether you’re an edge nibbler, or a break-in-half peanut butter cup eater, this should help get the party started right. Although it’s priced at a very William-Sonoma-like $79.95. Enjoy.

For a more reasonably-priced and far less pretentious Peanut Butter Cup Cake, check out this version by 1 Fine Cookie.
