How to Make a Padded Headboard for a Bed | Hunker
A bed (and bedroom) can look bare without a headboard. It doesn't take much, even a simple DIY headboard like this one really changes the room!

Making a Bee Trap
Bee Trap Bee Trap Trapping Yellow Jackets .Take a gallon milk jug and cut an upside down V shape in the side 2/3 way up on the jug. Press the tab in. Pour fruit juice ( I use apple) 1 inch deep into the jug. Put the cap back on the jug and hang. Insects enter through the hole and can't get out.
Wasp repellant. Fill a plastic bag with water, drop a penny into it and hang it above an entrance/patio door and it will prevent the yellow jacket wasps from entering your house and will also help keep them away from your patios. It tricks them into thinking it is another nest so they avoid that area.
Peppermint Pattie Place Cards (for a Vampire wedding)
The best wasp/yellowjacket repellant for summer picnics: 2 ounces of mint extract. 2 ounces peppermint extract. 10 ounces rubbing alcohol. Pour ingredients into spray bottle and label. Spray down picnic area and play area. The mint is neurotoxic to bees and wasps. Somehow they know to stay away, but if you spray it on them directly it can also kill them.
