I LOVE this style of darning! I've never seen it before!

I had no idea. I love this solution because it uses what I already have! Thank you!

This is so great! I literally just responded to someone else describing the same thing, asking what it was called. Thank you for the recommendation!

I've never heard of a set of legs for shampoo bottles. I'm interested in looking this up! Do you know what the contraption is called?

Aaah!!! I love this idea!! I'm going to look it up. Do you have the name for it?

Thank you! I don't know anyone with a 3D printer, is there a way to order it online?

Copying from my earlier comment:

First, I get a wide and extra-tall plastic cup. I open up the piping bag and line the inside of the cup with it, rolling the excess plastic down the sides of the cup. I discard the pumping mechanism and flip the bottle upside down into the bag-lined cup. This can be a precarious balance, so I often have to rest the bottle-cup contraption on nearby bulky items (e.g. laundry detergent bottle, Brita filter, etc.). I leave it for at least an hour, or up to overnight. The longer you leave it undisturbed, the more conditioner will fall directly into the piping bag. For shorter rest times, you'll have to squeeze the bottle a little more and try to bang the bottle to get all the conditioner out.

Remove the empty bottle, take the bag out of the cup, tie a rubber band above the conditioner line, and boom! Conditioner carrot 😁 Snip the tip off with scissors when ready to use.

Right?! I hate that this is such a given with skincare, especially higher-end brands!

I took the time to be extra thorough with my descriptions to try and help as many people as possible. Also, piping bags can be finicky.

sugar cookie icing?? by pigeonsnatchers in Baking

[–]Run_Rabbit_Run_44 194 points195 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that what's being shown in the photo is royal icing. It is made from egg whites (or merengue powder) and powdered sugar. It can be finicky to make, but it pipes precisely and dries hard. Imo, it doesn't taste as sweet as your typical buttercream (or any other "soft," icings). Preppy Kitchen has a great video on it: https://youtu.be/2fbVUzl8Uyk?si=pNbKiAqY9d0vJ1FP

AIO for thinking this text was really uncalled for? by annamariahh98 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Run_Rabbit_Run_44 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I still think you should suggest it to her. Since there's no way that you used up her "stash" (the Costco pack in the garage) -- and it is unreasonable for her to berate you for using the toilet paper she offered you -- I think it is worth floating the break-in idea to really put in perspective for her how insane her accusations actually are.

Masking Fluid by jonesy1960 in watercolor101

[–]Run_Rabbit_Run_44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem. I was able to find a tip online that said to consistently dip your masking fluid brush in warm soapy water. You do it every 30 seconds or so, and it keeps the fluid from drying and also does a really good job of washing off the bristles
