Mother's day is almost here and today we will see how to bend a paper clip in a heart shape.
I saw it here for the first time and it was love at first sight.
You can bend your hearts using any size or paper clip color.
Et voilá!
Thank you Tais for this wonderful restless idea. Very simple and very restless
Enjoy!

Send us your questions
Some of our visitors have sent emails with interesting questions, we decided to start having a space to answer them. In this space the blog "Restless Minds" will answer all questions you send us
Send us your question for the email: Restless Minds.
Science progress affects our daily life and "to know" means you are going to chose right, because it allows you to form your own opinion on scientific everyday issues. On the other hand, having an elegant and harmonious vision of the world where we live in leads to a feeling of intellectual satisfaction.
We believe this kind of scientific day to day knowledge should be encouraged from an early age, and that's why this project was born: science, culture, knowledge, crafts for your restless mind.

DIY - Wax lantern

We got the idea here, and looks really simple, but it requires some work.
We need:
- paraffin, same we use here,
- balloons, medium size,
- old pot, you will never be able to use it again to cook,
- aluminum foil.
- Melt the wax on the pot;
- Fill the balloon with warm water;
- Try to keep the wax at the same temperature all time;
- Dip the balloon in the wax, slow and just to the water level;
- Keep it there for 4 or 5 seconds;
- Pull it out;
- Wait 10 seconds;
- Repeat the steps 4 to 7 for 3 or 4 times;
- Let the balloon to cool on the aluminum foil, the bottom will cool with a straight surface;
- Repeat all over again (4 to 9) 3 or 4 times until the lantern has the desired thickness;
- When the wax is completely cold, burst the balloon, do it in the bathroom!
- Heat up the aluminum foil in the stove and place you lantern on it, upside down.
NOTE: Don't dive the balloon above the water level!
Clean your lantern with a humid cloth, without detergent


You can:

- Paint it,
- Decorate it with a stencil, or geometric templates,
- Use a small hot object to carve it,
- Dye the wax like we did here,
- ...
It looks amazing!
Enjoy!
