DIY Lip Scrub & Balm

Hi!
Today I wanted to show you how to make this super easy lip scrub and lip balm.
My lips get dry really fast and its important to scrub off the dead skin and moisturize them!



Lip Scrub:

You will need:
2 tbsp. Sugar
1 tbsp. Olive Oil
1-2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1-3 drops Food Color
Containers
Mix all ingredients in a bowl

Pack the mixture tightly into container

Lip Balm
You will need:

1 tbsp. Vaseline
 1 tbsp. Honey
1-2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2-4 drops Food Color
Containers

Put all ingredients into a microwave safe bowl and melt all the ingredients in increments until it has a runny texture

Add the food coloring and keep mixing it all together until well
incorporated. 
Pour into container and wait till cools before using it.

This is a great idea for a little gift since it works really well, smells really good and tastes pretty well!

I hope you try this out and enjoy your day:)

Bookmarks!

Hi There!
These bookmarks are the cutest accessories for your and to mark your pages!
All of these are made out of things you already have at home! Let's get crafting!

Materials:

                                                                             Paper
Glue

Scissors

Lace
Hole Punch
Paper clips
Office clips  (Is that what they're called? :) )




Step #1

Fold a piece of paper in half, and on the side where the arrow is, put a line of glue and press the sides together

Step #2

Cut the top corner rounded or use a corner punch
 and you are done! The next bookmark uses a similar method:




Step#1

Instead of cutting diagonally, cut in the shape of a slanted square, like in this picture

Step #2

Glue on the accessories like ears, nose, and eyes



It's so cute how the ears stick out of the book! Let's try some other bookmarks:


Here is one that anyone can do: just glue a piece of paper to a paper clip and you are done!


Wasn't that really easy with such a cool result?


Glue a piece of lace to a strip of paper and you instantly have a shabby chic bookmark!


Tie a stretchy ribbon to another strip of paper to make a page keeper for you:)

I hope you enjoyed these ideas and recreate them for yourselves adding your twist on them!

DIY Notebooks

Hello!

Hello!
Today I've got some more ideas for school supplies to share with you. These are all notebooks that look really cute and are easy to make, so lets jump in!

Here are all the notebooks that I DIYd this year


These two are painted with regular acrylic paint that you can by at walmart for . 50$ 
To protect the paint, I went over it with Mod Podge.

These the easiest notebooks to make if you don't have artistic fingers.
The one on the left is glued scrapbook paper with a label; 
And on the right, I just glued paper hole punched circles and glued them on. For extra protection I went over and around the circles with matte Mod Podge.

Try to make some for yourself, and comment if you did!
Hope you find these fun to make and thank you for visiting my blog!

Flower Headband

Hi Everyone!
So, after I made the Fluffy Flower Necklace, I really wanted to experiment with making the same flowers but seeing how it will turn out if I glue all of the petals instead of sewing them. I also made 2 layers  with 4 petals in each.

This turned out really cute. A little less fluffy because of the glue, but also more full because of the two layers. Hope you find this as an inspiration for your own crafts, and have a great day!
