I think tissue paper would not hold up as well as a regular tea bag. Although it may take a bit longer to steep it won\'t risk the tea coming loose. As for the stamps for nail art. .Some one posted that it would not stay on after it got in water. Not if you apply several coats of good top coat nail polish. Of course not as good as a normal paint nail art I suppose, but very unique.

Why don't you just go buy the glue on kind for five dollars. They make designed ones and such now.

Hair gel will fix scratches on CD/DVD discs better than commercial fixes. Tea makes a great dye for craft papers. Weak dish soap & water cleans house plants and keeps pests off them. Uses for wax paper: *use instead of cling wrap for microwaving; no harmful chemicals! *rub on metal shower or closet rod to help hangers slide easily *rub on playground slide for smooth, fast ride *rub on retractable car antenna to keep it working smoothly *pour salt onto wax paper, rub iron over salt to clean your iron *put cake decorations on wax paper, then freeze a few minutes; your decorations will slide off the paper and onto the cake *make wax paper 'envelope' for sandwiches; it's cheaper, moisture resistant and odor resistant. To make, use square of wax paper, place sandwich slightly lower than center. Fold up bottom, then sides. Fold down top and tuck into place. also .. If it moves and it shouldn't .. duct tape! If it doesn't move and it should ... WD-40! (no harmful chemicals in WD-40, either .. plus it is a great way to remove adhesive from labels, bumper stickers etc) Tips From A Grandma:
