Being crafty at Mama Lulu




Presenting!

OK, so first I am super proud of this website I made for Mama Lulu. Ok, so it´s nothing magical but I only had a few days and it is a blog, so it´s free and really easy for them to learn to update but I made it look and act more like a real website! It has sweet photos and info about Mama Lulu.
They are going through a big change and want to become more like a school and educational center where they can teach their expertise in guadua and sustainable agriculture. I helped to make the website clearer to find these things and add meta tags etc to improve their search results so that tourism sites don´t pop up first. Hopefully it works and helps to draw more of the right people to this amazing place.


FUN FUN CRAFT TIME


I learned to make a lot of natrual products, including, soap, toothpaste, paper, wallets, how chocolate from picked beans and pizza from an orno.

A group called Chic Chan who helps edcuate about recycling came and taught us how to make things out of trash. They also organized concerts where the entry fee is trash for recycle..coolio

Paper from recycled paper
So easy... you take old paper soak overnite, add a bit of lemon and glue then blend.
Pour the blend over a screen and lift out of the water and voila!

Wallets made out ot tetra packs from old juice boxes.
Directions here


Natural toothpaste
4 tbs of sifted ash from a fire
1 tbs of sea salt
1tbs of baking soda

I also recommend Miswak for the Peelu tree for brusing teeth!
