Playing with Pastels

Used pastels to dye my puppy's Mohawk! blended blue turquoise and green, it washes out :) as my best friend Megan said "pint sized punk". Works best on wet hair but is much easier to run water over the pastel crayon itself, or have a little cup to dip in to. I've done it in my own hair as well! *Note: Red may not wash out in one wash on blonde/ light hair! 

Sea Shell Wreath

I did this in less than ten mins. Bought the wreath at Walmart for 5$ and used seashells that I've collected from trips and a glue gun. If you don't have seashells you can buy them for cheap at most crafting stores. Would look perfect at a beach house but I dont have one :(. It tells a story of all my vacations :).

Hang Dry Flowers

Using ribbon or twine hang to dry for ten days until no moisture. Then use high shine hairspray after totally dry to give a nice sheer shine.  Makes a nice decoration as it dries :).

Buttoned Mirror

Using an old Ikea mirror (1.99$) I had lying around, some white glue and a bag of mismatched buttons purchased from the dollar store I created a functional and unique piece of art. Will now do other colour themes with the other mirror I have! :) Looks great on the wall!

Easy DIY lantern indoor/outdoor

Old mason jar, tea light and beans or sand... I used black beans as that's what I had, but coffee beans I bet would give a nice scent? :) indoor or outdoor I plan to put on my patio :)
