Create a Colorful Vase


I had an old Bubba Gump glass that I wasn't really using, but didn't want to throw it away. I cut out inch wide strips from a magazine and folded them until they were about a centimeter wide. Using puzzle glue, I pasted the strips on the vase until it was completely covered. Then, wanting to make sure the strips don't fall off, I added another layer of puzzle glue all over the vase and let dry. I recommend that you do this outside and with gloves!

Do it yourself headbands! for almost FREE


I plan on making them in absolutely every color!

I didn't know what to do with all of the old t-shirts I have collected over the years, until now! Each headband took me less than 10 minutes. These are cheaper, and WAY more comfortable than store bought headbands because you decide the size of them.

For the bracelets I did one braid and the other one fish tail. For the braid, I took the sleeve of a t-shirt and cute one long strip from it about 3 to 4 inches thick. Then I cut that strip into three and stretched each as long as I could without ripping them. Then, I simply braided. I did the same with the fishtail, I just cut about 10 strips instead of 3.


Super easy. Basically free!
