Fabulous Trick For Soft Hands

Today we have something a little different. This is something me and my friend Miranda did a little while ago. And can I say that it is amazing!!

So what you do is get a handful of sugar and lay it in your hand like pictured. Then, you put some olive oil on top of your pile of sugar. Rub it all over your hands for about a minute or so, and then rinse off. And let me say, your hands will feel absolutely amazing afterwards! It really does work!! My hands have never been softer. It was so easy yet had fabulous results.

Another Mini Bow and Arrow

Yes I am posting another mini bow and arrow. But this was one I did a while ago. It was ok. I actually was not very pleased with it. It just didn't work very well. Overall I didn't enjoy it very much.You made it with a popsicle stick, dental floss, and a q-tip.
 
  Although, I didn't soak it in water like it said to. That could've helped.  But I liked my other one better.

Homemade Kazoo

Today I am sharing a project you can do with little kids!! It's a homemade kazoo. You put wax paper over a toilet paper tube and secure it with a rubber band. You can hum into it and it sounds like a kazoo. It was actually pretty cool! Very easy and fun.

Plastic Spoon Rose

At one of our previous sleepovers, me and my friend Miranda were looking for something to do. And this is what we came up with. A plastic spoon rose. We foun instructions that said to melt the spoons with a candle. Then, you glued them all together. How hard could it be? Apparently really hard!! They took forever to melt if you held it above the candle but burned when you held it right up next to the flame. Burning plastic spoons are no fun. Just trust me on this one. And then once we finally got them all melted, it took forever to try and fit it together. Because they all melted completely different from each other. The top is the one off of Pinterest, the bottom, is ours. We thought the different colors of spoons would be cool since we had them.

Mini Bow and Arrow

So I'm sure by now you have all seen this, right?

 

Seemed cool! So I of course had to try!! I got the pen to make and and I was set. Except I also ended up needing scissors, duct tape, a glue gun, and burn gel. I needed the scissors because, well, there is no other easy way to make a hole in the middle of the pen. Hence bringing out the scissors to poke a hole in it. The glue gun and duct tape would be because the rubber band would not stay for anything!! So I put a ton of glue on the end of it with the rubber band. Then it would still not stay so I decided to use duct tape as plan B. Burn gel is because I burned my fingers several times with the glue gun. Not fun, but it happens to the best of us. So I finally got it finished and surprisingly, it actually works really well!! Took way longer than I anticipated but is actually really fun to use!!

Cupcakes!

Yesterday, I make cupcakes. Mint chocolate chip cupcakes. They looked really good! Here's a picture:         

They were actually really good. The cupcake didn't turn out as well as I was hoping. I have had better cupcakes, but the frosting was really good!! The only thing, is with the frosting, we were out of butter and I had to use a substitute. And it had a weird sort of aftertaste to it. But it was just because of what I used as a substitute. I'm sure if I used real butter there would be no other problems. Other than that, there were no big problems! And just a quick little side note, their frosting was green, while our frosting ended up purple. Per request of my little sisters. The food coloring is optional though

British Flag Project

I would like to just say real quick that this is not a project off of pinterest. This is just something I came up with and decided to make. Although I am still going to share it with all of you who read this

It's a British Flag binder! I made it with Duct Tape. Basically just covered all of it in dark blue Duct Tape and then used the red and the white to do the pattern you see on the front. The back is all dark blue. This is the binder I will use to put my flute music in for my band class. Took me a while, but I think It's really cool!! What do you guys think?
