DIY EMOJI EOS LIP BALM!! (Two Ways)
updated
And that’s it! This is an adorable gift for someone who has a lot of earrings or rings, and if you have extrabudget you can even buy some earrings and put them inside.
For this amazing card you will need four square piece of cardstock, mine were 20 by 20 cm but they can be bigger or smaller if you want, but they have to be square. Now fold the piece in half and in half on the other direction. Open the fold and make a cut on one of the folds, you can see it better in the video. Now simply use that cut to fold the paper like this, so create this figure. And secure it in place with some glue. Now fold that diagonally so you get something like what you can see in the video, it’s a little difficult to explain but it’s really easy to do and the repeat with the rest of the pieces. Once you have them all glue them together in a pile as I’m doing here, so you get something like this, you should be able to open and close it. Now it’s time for the design! Take pictures of you and your friends or your family depending on who you are going to give the gift to, you can add sticker and any kind of decorations, but make sure they are flat, so you can close the card and then decorate the cover, as you can see I made it very Christmassy, but can decorate it with another theme of course. Make a hole on the side, so that way you can keep it close with a ribbon.
And this is the final result! As you can see it turned out amazing and it was super easy and super inexpensive so yeah, I hope you can try it!
The third one is for all the potterheads out there and you will need some clear glycerin soap, so melt it in the microwave and then add some food or soap coloring in bright red and then use a plastic cup to pour the soap and that way once it is dry it will be super easy to take it out. The use a knife to give it the shape, simply make some cuts like so and of course be really really careful. For decoration I cut thin pieces of paper and put the in a box and then the soap, and to decorate the box I searched on google the envelope that hagrid gives to the goblin in the bank, I printing along with some harry potter stamps and then you can cut everything and arrange the envelope. Cut the stamps and stick them to the box and also you can write a message or even make a card to go inside the envelope. Tie everything with some cord and that’s it!
So I really like how this turned out, I think it’s perfect for all the harry potter fans out there and as you saw it was super simple to make.
The next one is a classic idea which is to make a candle so start gluing the wicks to a glass or jar, then melt some wax and add some crayons for the color and some essence so it smells nice. Pour it in the jar and let it set, you can of course make as many colors as you want, I made another green layer and while that was drying I decided to use some leftover from the brown wax to sprinkle there because it reminded me of chocolate, kind of, and then for decoration I placed some iridescent plastic and a ribbon. I think this one is a super simple gift but perfect for candle lovers and a lot cheaper than most of the candles out there.
And the last gift is perfect as a stocking stuffer or as a party favor, so you will need some chocolate bars of your choice and unwrap them and wrap them again in aluminum foil. This is not necessary if they already come with some silver paper or something like that. Now you can use some wrapping paper, or decorative paper or even you can print some images like so and I decided to add a little bit of glue and glitter to make them more special, but you can skip this step if you want and then use those paper pieces to wrap the candy. Now you can use some cord to make little packages with them like this, and of course you don’t have to make them Christmassy, as you can see here I used some vintage papers to make the same thing. And they are finished! I think giving candy as gift is super nice but it’s better if you customize the packaging to make it super personal.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

For the first project you will need a glass and a fuzzy sock in gray, so you will need to put the glass into the sock like this and then cut the excess. You can secure it with a little bit of hot glue if you want. For the belly part, I took a piece of cardstock as a template and I covered it with a piece of white fuzzy sock, only on one side. Cut the excess fabric and stick it onto the main piece with some hot glue, you can use other types too. To make the ears I made the shape turning the edges in, with a round shape and securing it with hot glue. You will of course need two of them and then you can glue them on the top part. For the little marks on the belly, I made the shape on paper and I glued the fabric on and cut the excess around the sides, the reason I did it like this is because otherwise the fabric would shed a lot and it wouldn’t hold the shape and of course I made three of them. The little arms are exactly like the ears, so make two more pieces and stick them on the sides. You can make them bigger if you want and for the face I cut some felt pieces in black and white and I used a marker to make the pupils and stick them too to the face part.
For the second DIY you will need a fake flower, a rose or anything else you want, so you will need to separate the top part and take out the bottom part of a pen, you can trim it a little bit so the flower can fit, you will need to secure it with glue too. Then take the leaves and we will use these to glue them to decorate the pen, just glue them down, but be careful and don’t burn yourself. Start from the flower part to the actual pen part and I also decided to glue some pieces on the sides as decoration and that’s it!
For the third project i printed these illustrations:
br.pinterest.com/pin/75646468720972123
es.pinterest.com/pin/472033604684782349
Cut them, and you will also need to cut a bunch of regular paper pieces of the same size. I used this paper as a template, so all the holes for the notebooks are on the same place and then I obviously made all the holes with a punch. I decide that I wanted a thicker cover so I stick the cover pieces to some cardstock, you can skip this step, and then I cut the excess from the sides. I also rounded the bottom corners, and I made the back with a cardstock piece. To hold everything together I used hoops or jump rings, I just simple opened them and passed the through the holes and then closed them with pliers.
The next one is super simple, just take some cardstock, this glitter one is perfect but plain ones also work and cut a square and a rectangle like this, then I cut a piece of foam but you can use cardstock too and cut it to give it a shape of a lipstick top. And when you stick them all together, you will have a super cute lipstick. And now simple glue it to a clip and you can hide the back with another piece of cardstock.
And as a little decoration for your wall, start off making a rectangle on a word office document and paint it any color you want, of course I chose pink and write one letter at a time (font: equal sans demo), and repeat this with all the letters you want, I decided to write girl boss. Then print and cut them and then take some yarn and simply attach the letters with some tape.

**If you are reading this tell me in the comments when you are going back to school!!
For the first case, start cutting a piece of paper with the size of your phone and paint some circles with some watercolor. I actually just mixed some water with some acrylic paint to get this effect. You can paint more layers and then add the green color. Once it dries you can paint the seeds, I made them with a metallic marker and you can leave it like this, but I decided to cut out the white part, and finally since the metallic seeds weren’t very visible, I decided to paint them again with black.
For the second one, you will need a pic of a beach and trace you clear case and cut it out. I decided to mark the middle and trace a triangle and cut it, although you can leave it as it is too, and then I took some nail tape and added some decorations on the edge and on the rest to make it a little bit more interesting.
For the next one you will need a clear template, I showed you how to make them in other videos, just trace your case in a plastic sleeve and cut it out. Then, I printed a pineapple pic, and stick to the template and on the other side I painted some paint lines in pink.
For the next one you can search a tropical background, and drag it to a office document, you can write anything you want, I decided to highlight it with black and make the words white like so, you can make any design you want, change the font and everything and once you print it out simply outline your case and cut it out!
For the next one I printed some cute ice creams from google images and cut them. You will also need the plastic template here and basically just place it on the back of your phone and arrange your ice creams however you like and once you have them all stick them with some double side tape, and that’s basically it!
For the next one you can search for summer pics on tumblr or you can use your own photos with friends and arrange them in an office document, they have to make a rectangle that is at least the size of your phone and them you can write something there, I wrote summer and make the letters big, change the color, the font, play a little bit with your design and them print it out. Trace your case and cut it out!
The next one is my favorite idea and you will need to print some succulents and roses from google images, choose your favorite pic and cut them out. You will also need a transparent template and I decided to add some nail tape to make it a little bit more interesting but is not really necessary if you don’t have it and after that arrange the pictures and stick them to the template with some double side tape.
And as my extra idea, if you don’t want to print anything or use a plastic template you can use some label paper, and draw anything you want, I decided to draw some tropical leaves with a marker like this, you can use pictures online as a guide, I needed them myself because I'm terrible at drawing...LOL Then cut them, arrange them on your phone and simply stick them to your phone, and don’t worry you won’t damage the phone and simply then add your clear case.

*** If you are reading this, comment: I'm actually a mermaid ^^
Inspiration: instagram.com/p/BPEqeuNh0rw
Start of with some clear glue and I decided to add a teeny tiny bit of pink paint to add a slight color.
Then I took some unicorn skin or iridescent cellophane, and cut small pieces into the glue.
Then I added like 3 teaspoons of salt into some hot water, I mixed everything together until the water was clear and the salt was dissolved.
You should add a little bit of that mixture to the glue but don’t add too much because it can be too much and you can easily ruin it.
And then simply take it out of the water and that's it!

You will need a transparent phone case that fits your phone and then a transparent template. As I showed you in other videos, to make this take a plastic sleeve, trace the outline of your phone case and then cut it out.
For the first case I chose this watermelon slices, print and cut them. Now take your plastic template and start arranging the slices on there. You can place them like this or randomly or however you want. So glue doesn’t work here, so I’m using some tape to stick the pieces in place, you can use double side tape or hot glue too and then just cut any excess from the sides.
The second case is the easiest one, you just need some dry flowers, so I you see simply place them on your phone case and when you slide your phone they will stay in place. And you can also glue them down, but this way you can rearrange them as many times as you want.
This illustration is from anum tariq, my favorite fashion illustrator, so I just printed and cut this picture then you can stick it to a plastic template with some tape. Now on the other side of the template with some acrylic paint make some brush strokes
And I actually couldn’t help but making another one.
For the next one I’m using some watercolor scrapbook and I’m using this heart punch, to make some hearts. Now take again another plastic template, and place it on your phone so you now where the heart are really going and simply arrange them, this time I decided to try hot glue, I have to say that it works perfect.
And for the next design I chose this cute little donut that I cut it and stick it to my template, and in this case since it is slightly bigger I cut the excess from the sides. And of course I decided to write donut worry with a permanent marker. And my phone has these ugly number here, so I covered them with gold washi tape.
And if you are too lazy to make this or to find phone case desingns just search cute phone backgrounds on google images and you will find tons of beautiful design that will already have kind of a phone shape.
And I also found this Disney castle pic, so I had to use it for one of my phone cases, so I just cut it like the others and then I used this nail art tape to make my design a little more interesting.
And I think it looks really nice so I decided to use it again for my last design.
So first I printed this tinkerbell pic and cut it out. And I took a plastic template and I placed some tape at the top sticking it to the phone, just so it wouldn’t move. Now I made some like triangles and stuff with the nail art tape and once I was happy with it I glued the tinkerbell pic, and of course cut the excess tape from the sides.

My inspiration for the technique: youtube.com/watch?v=I_pumjTmqqQ&t=12s
For this project you will need:
-Cardboard: 12 oval shape pieces (and a little more for the face)
- A pair of white fuzzy socks
- A pair of black fuzzy socks
- Lots of glue!
- Blush (optional)
Trace an oval shape onto the cardboard and cut. You will need twelve cardboard shapes. Divide them into three groups of four like this. Then take one of the groups and take one of the cardboard pieces, and draw the outline of like the bottom part of your phone and the cord piece and cut that piece out.
Now you can use this as a template to make the same thing on the rest of the cardboard pieces of this group.
Take another group of the cardboard pieces and just draw the cord part, only the bottom part as I’m doing in the video, cut it and repeat for the other 3 pieces.
So, you will get three groups of four, take the middle group and just glue them all together and I decided to also glue the cord to charge my phone to that middle area, you definitely can skip this step if you want and I wasn’t completely happy with it.
Take out one cardboard piece of each of the other groups and just glue the rest, as we did before, to the center piece. Be careful with the cord with those back pieces.
Now take those pieces that we set aside and cover them with some cotton, gluing it with hot glue.
Take a white fuzzy sock, cut a piece and use it to cover the cotton and cardboard piece.
For the middle section I used a black fuzzy sock, and it’s basically the same thing.
For the ears cut two half circles and cover them with cotton, this time in both sides and then add some glue and cover it with a piece of black sock, the only important thing here is just to pull the fabric quite tightly.
For the eyes I cut two ovals, these I covered them without adding cotton and I also covered a tiny piece of cardboard for the nose.
Now just glue all the pieces in place, and also added some white fabric circles for the pupils. And I added some blush with a brush to make it even cuter.
So just glue the back piece to the middle section, on the side where the cord is and the face to the other side, and cut the toe part of the black sock, fill it with cotton, close it with glue and glue it to the back to add the little tail, and oh my god! This turned out so so so cute! I think it looks super kawaii and it was actually really easy to make. The only part that I’m not sure about is that as I glue the cord in there, it takes a little bit to find the spot for the phone to charge but yeah! For the rest, I think it turned out amazing!

My inspiration: youtube.com/watch?v=wkXQwa8VQVc
For this project you will need any phone case that fits your phone, it doesn’t have to be transparent or anything and a piece of label paper or sticker paper like this, you can use regular paper too if you can't find it.
Take any crayons or markers you want, and first outline the shape of the phone case and start painting little areas here and there on the paper.
After that take some tape, it’s better if you use one of those wide tapes that would cover the entire width of the paper but I didn’t have one so I just covered the whole thing line by line.
After that cut the excess paper from the sides and stick it onto your phone case and if you used regular paper stick it with some glue. Don’t forget to Cut the camera hole with an x-acto knife or cutter and the last step is adding a thin but opaque layer of black acrylic paint.
To make all the scratching I used the back of a brush but you can use a toothpick or a dotting tool and just draw what your heart desires on the case.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

So open an office document and make a line down the middle. Then create rectangles with size of the erin Condren, then write morning, like morning day and night, and copy and paste this so you get three each day, copy the whole thing to make more days, and for Saturday and Sunday we will make just one rectangle. Then write the name of the weekdays leaving a gap for the number and print the pages out. Print them on both sides and cut down the line in the middle to get A5 sized pages.
The pages are undated, so what I did was simply write the numbers of the months and also the name of the month, just the first three letters, and print them out in label paper or sticker paper.
To made this adorable dashboard with a pocket on the back, so I just search digital papers online, there are a lot of free resources, and print them out. Cut them and cut the one for the pocket a little slanted like so. Then glue them together and as to protect the dashboard I covered this side with book covering plastic, you can use a laminator.
For stickers there are tons of free options online, and a trick when printing them is choosing the save toner or ink option, that way you can save up to a 15% of ink. When cutting them use a cutter or an x-acto knife and cut them without making a lot of preassure, so you just cut the sticker part and peeling them is super easy.
To make a cover you can download pictures online, you can write quotes too, you can personalize it however you want, then print it out, and I decided to stick it to this glitter paper, you can leave it as it is too.
There are different ways to make dividers but I made a guide rectangle with the A5 size and I made my image a little wider, then delete the guide and you can write a quote or whatever you want.
I made 3 of them and I cut the excess paper. Take the first one and cut a tab at the top part and cut a strip until reaching the tab, then use that tab to mark the second one, cut following the marks and I also cut a strip except the tab part. And repeat.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

For the next idea you will need a little candle in a vase like this, you can also make it yourself and for the personalized tags, fist search diptyque candle printables to find a label, save it and open it with picmonkey or any other editor you want. Use the draw tool to erase the name of the candle and then go to text and write the name you want letter by letter. The font that I found work the best is arial Baltic but you can try different fonts and arrange the letters however you want, and you have it however you want print them with a size a little smaller than your vase obviously, so I resize them in a word office document and print them out. Cut them and stick them with some glue to my little vases. And to make them all pretty and nice I wrapped them in some cellophane and tied some ribbon. And they are ready!
The next one is super easy you will need one of these rings for like, ring making, I guess and a stone that you can buy or find in nature too, so glue it to the ring with any glue and then take this golden wire, you can use other colors too and first secure one end with glue and simply wrap it around the stone as many times as you want and finally secure the other end with a little more glue.
The next idea is amazing and you will need two pieces of cardstock of 20x10 cms in one color and other two in another color. You will need to mark them at 5 cm from the top and from the bottom, draw a line and fold them there. Do this with your 4 pieces. Now take the first color, in my case the blue and make a line in the middle in the top and bottom sections and you will get something like this. Repeat with the other piece and place them side by side leaving a tiny gap in the middle and you will need to add glue to the squares on the outer corners. Then stick the other color pieces sideways like so and you card is ready! And then just decorate it!
Got the idea from: youtube.com/user/craftingeek
For the harry potter inspired idea, you will need tiny bottles, mine came with glitter and everything and are from tiger, but you can also shop them separately if you can’t find them like this, and you could also fill the bottles with colored water and for the labels you can search harry potter potion labels on google images and choose the one you and print it, you can also handwrite it but it is so tiny that I find it really difficult, so in my case I just cut them and glue them to the tiny bottles. And to make them into charms you will need these little hooks that you can attach to the cork, so you can hang them later and make key chains or necklaces.
For the last one you will need a piece of velvet ribbon of the size of your neck, a hoop with a jump ring, a charm, crimp end closures, and two chains a little longer than half the size of the ribbon. Start opening the jump ring and place the charm and the two chain and close it back. Now place the hoop through the velvet ribbon so you get something like these and attach the closures to each side. Now kind of fold it in half and you will see that the closures also have some jump rings, so open them and place the other end of the chain and close it back.

DIY Mirror vase: youtube.com/watch?v=by20I7P5J98
Projects in this video:
1 for the first idea you will need some little braches or twigs and start covering them with some white glue. Once you covered that pour some fake snow, you can use salt too if you want, and also cover them with some glitter, you can choose any color you want and of course you can use the leftovers from the table again and again so you don’t waste anything. Let them dry and put them in a vase or a jar and for decorations I took these little balls, I fold a thread in half and then thread it through the ball, I tied a knot and cut the excess.
2 Start off with some cardstock and fold it to make a cone and keep it in place with some tape and I cut the excess from the bottom. Now start arranging some chocolates making like a spiral shape, I was using double sided tape for this, but please don’t do that because it’s not strong enough and the chocolates will fall while you are sleeping and they’re gonna scare you so yeah… use hot glue instead. And once that’s ready fill the gaps with another spiral of tinsel.
3 You will need a frame, you can also use a shadow box if you want, but as I couldn’t find one I cut some cardboard so it would fit in the frame, and then I covered the pieces with paper so they would be white, instead of brown.
And I also printed “let it snow”, in white with a light grey border and I cut the letters, you can use premade letters too and I folded a square of paper in half twice, diagonally and then in thirds, cut the excess and made my design, you can find cool ones online so that way when you unfold it you get a cute snowflake.
Then take some translucent plastic and arrange the letters and glue them down, you can of course write whatever you want.
The final step is covering the back part of the frame with some aluminum foil and secure it with some glue, I made this so it reflects more light, cut the excess and then tape some Christmas light like so. Finally let’s put it all together, fist the frame, the plastic with the letters, the cardboard panels and the back of the frame, and secure it with tape, you can glue it together too, but I wanted it to be removable in case I want to change anything, and that’s basically it!

1 So, for the first idea you will need to make some clay, so that is equal parts of white glue and cornstarch a tiny bit of oil and a tiny bit of Vaseline and mix it until it has a sticky texture. Then put it in a pot with hot water but not boiling and stir for like five minutes until it hardens and sticks to the spoon.
Now it’s time to make the little charms, first I made a marshmallow, then a square shape and tiny squares to make like a chocolate bar piece and finally another square this time with a line in the middle, I made this with a needle and some dots like this to make the cracker. Of course you don’t need to make these designs; you can make your own design or check my other gift videos for more design ideas.
I also took a wire and twisted to make a little hook and attach it to the charms like this, and now just let them dry for 2 or 3 days. I know it is a long time so if you don’t have time you can also use polymer clay that you can buy at craft stores.
Now it’s time to paint them and I used acrylic paint for this, because I had all the colors but you can use nail polish too.
And after letting the paint dry you can attach a chain to each of the charm to make the necklaces, oh and you can also paint cute faces to the charms but since I do that every year I wanted t try something different and that’s it!
2 For the second idea start off cutting a sponge like this, you can use a cuter or ax-acto knife, cut it until you get little cubes and then in half again. Then use some white silicon, like the one that it’s used for decoden stuff and fill the cake and place the other half on top. To decorate the top, I’m using some deco-sauce that it’s like puffy paint basically, and put it at the top and dripping a little bit down the sides. Let this dry overnight and then again with the silicone, using a tip, like the ones for icing I made a little decoration at the top and then added some cabochons.
You can leave it as a squishy or you can attach a keychain thingy and make it a keychain and I just attach it with a thread like so and then making a knot.
3 For the next project the best is to have glycerin soap, but I could find a lot where I live so I cut cubes of regular soap and put it in this cute heart shaped mold, and then I took this pink glycerin soap, which you can actually melt so I did so and pour it onto the molds.
You can also just pour the pink soap until you reach the middle of the mold and then add a drop of food blue food colring to make the remaining soap purple and pour the rest.
And as I had some leftover a mixed some cosmetic glitter in there and pour the soap into this super cut owl mold. Let it set and take them out. For the packaging I took some cellophane and I wrap the soap in it and then add a cut ribbon.
4 For the last one take piece of green cardboard and make a strip like so. And kind of measure the size of the chocolate that is going to go inside and then fold the strip making squares of that size and keep going making kind of an accordion shape. To get that flip it over after each fold. Attach an extra strip if you need so because we need to get 11 squares. Then fold then to get triangles like this. And secure them with some tape, you will get something like this. Then do the same with 7 squares that will give you 3 triangles, and then with 3 squares that make 1 triangle. Place them one over the other to get one big triangle, full of little triangles. And hide the sides gluing more cardstock strips. And then just attach a ribbon for decoration. And of course finally add your candy or chocolates.

For every phone case you will of course need a clear phone case that fits your phone.
For the first design, which is the harry potter one just trace the outline of the phone case on a piece of paper so you know where to draw and cut it out.Draw your design, and then color the inside of the lines with crayons. Then I went over the pencil lines with a sharpie. Finally just cut the top part and put it on your phone!
For the second design you will need this plastic template that I show you how to make in my other phone cases video, but basically just take a plastic sleeve, trace your phone case and cut. And you will get the perfect canvas for a transparent phone case. For this one I wrote Slay with a sharpie. And on the other side of the template just paint little strokes with some acrylic paint.
Ok so for the next one yfor the third one, print any character you want, I chose alice:
google.es/search?q=alice+in+wonderland+disney&safe=active&hl=en-ES&biw=1366&bih=589&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjMjfuy1u7PAhVDtBQKHfb2DGwQ_AUICCgB#q=alice%20in%20wonderland%20tumblr%20background&hl=en-ES&tbm=isch&tbs=rimg%3ACbGd6IYnOFGRIjgAIZ0uP2ng4SMpNruj3utrVrPMNqTpzEc6WKF-qcL732MV0tn9eEZxRJne18XZvtVlrZpPHoRPayoSCQAhnS4_1aeDhEfuX6xn6LoxsKhIJIyk2u6Pe62sRJag8xKMzidsqEglWs8w2pOnMRxFXi8J8KiupUioSCTpYoX6pwvvfEbOE9qPbY6bXKhIJYxXS2f14RnER_1zjAkRiPKj4qEglEmd7Xxdm-1RHTyUTzvon-WioSCWWtmk8ehE9rEadirm_1DVUKX&safe=active
Just cut the picture and then take a piece of some holographic paper, this one I found at my local craftstore and glue the pic to the paper and make sure that it will fit on your phone.
The next design is one of my favorites, and you will need to print out any picture, I chose these leaves:
http://ih1.redbubble.net/image.235286394.5572/flat,1000x1000,075,f.u1.jpg
Just make sure it is slightly bigger than your case so you can trace it out. Don’t forget the camera hole and cut it out! You can leave it like this but I found this super cool like metallic sticker paper in my craft store, so I drew a triangle, like this and then stick it to the top part of the other paper. I also cut the camera hole in the metallic paper and that’s it!
And for the last design just print this super cute giraffe picture:
s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/4d/16/0d/4d160d76983a23ea523b1623c1100c04.jpg
Make sure it has the size of your phone, carefully cut it out, and glue it to a plastic template. And as you can see the neck blocks the camera hole, so just cut that out and that’s it!
And for the extra phone case, you can buy on ebay for really cheap this charms to glue on your phone:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Woman-DIY-Phone-Case-Cover-Genuine-Rex-Rabbit-Fur-Ball-Pendant-Decor-/181996139244?var=&hash=item2a5fd0b2ec:m:meNpGd8jACn7653JAZp_M5g

Phone Life Hacks:
1 When you go out and you get ready, you put everything on your bag, but you’re afraid that you are going to scratch your new phone with your keys. So to avoid this you can take your case and put it the other way around and that way your phone will be super safe of scratches while it’s in your purse.
2 So next I’m going to show you three easy ways to make a phone holder, They are pretty popular already but really cool too, so the first one is to just use a pair of sunglasses. The second one it’s pretty impressive, you just need a bottle cap and make some little cuts on the sides like so, and your phone will stay up!
The last one is my favorite and is using a tape case, I actually already show you how to decorate one in one of my old videos, but just in case you’re new or didn’t know this, here it is! I think it’s super cool and perfect for your desk. And you can also use it to watch videos.
3 I don’t know if it happens to you but my phone’s power button is tiny, and sometimes at night I can’t seem to find it, so I discovered that there is an option in setting, where you can turn on the screen by double tapping, what makes using the phone a lot easier at night. Of course I don’t know of it will work with your phone, but you should definitely try it.
4 And my phone also has another option that I don’t know if other phones have, perfect for winter, for when you use gloves, because regular gloves usually don’t work on smartphones. And it is on settings and as you can see it is a gloves mode, so you don’t have to worry about buying special gloves for winter. Let me know if your phone also has this feature because I would love to know!
5 You can have a regular lockscreen on your phone, or an emergency lockscreen. You can do it with any app that allows you to add text, I’m using snapseed, which is free, so just choose the pic you like and add your more relevant info, you can change the font and size, like your name, medical information or an emergency contact, so for example if you lose your phone the person who finds it can contact you, at least if they have good intentions!
6 If you are anything like me, you surely love instagram, I love taking pictures and selfies and then editing them, so I will show you a trick in vsco cam in case you didn’t know, so instead of editing all your pics the same way to get a cool feed you can copy the edits from one pic and paste them on your last photo, or on any photos you want so you don’t have to edit all of your pictures one by one, and still have the perfect theme!
7 But you know sometimes even if you edit all your pictures the same way, when you upload them they ended up not matching your feed completely, and you’re like why??
So one thing you can do is create a new instagram account, with another email that you may have, and then make it private. That way you can upload your pictures there first and see if they look good together, and delete and reupload them as many times as you want before uploading them to your real account. There are apps that do this for you, but you have to pay for them so, this is an simple way to test your pics!
8 If you are studying and the lights go off, a super cool trick you can do is place your flashlight underneath a bottle of water and it will act as a lamp, it gives a decent amount of light and really is also super pretty. This hack is also pretty popular, but it is so cool, that I have to show you guys, in case you didn’t know!
9 So I’m sure that when you go to bed, you go to bed with your phone, and that can be bad for your sleep because of the blue light from the screen tells our brains that is daytime and we should be awake! So a way to avoid this is using an app called twilight, which takes out the blue light from the screen, making it redder, so that way you can use your phone at night and not lose sleep over it!
10 So you’re just hanging out and suddenly you’re like….where is my phone?? And it is on silent! But don’t worry! You can still find it. So go to google play, with the email you have on your phone, and download android device manager, and it will download the app on your phone, then you can go to device manager, and make it sound, and it will sound at full volume, so you can find the phone even if it is in the weirdest place!

The first way of making a case is super simple, you just need your phone, a clear case like I said before and any picture of your choice like this one that you can print out, so cut it out and place it on your phone however you like, cut out the excess paper from the sides, slide your clear case and that is it! This is the easiest way of making a cute case like this, the only important thing is that you resize the pic before you print it so it fits in the phone, mine for example is 7 cm wide so I made the pic 6,5, and it fits great so yeah as you can see this is a super simple method!
Another way of making transparent cases is using some plastic sleeves like this one, so trace the outline of your phone case with some whiteboard marker, including the camera hole and cut it out. You can cut the camera hole with an X-acto knife if you prefer, and the whiteboard marker marks just disappear by rubbing them.
So once you have your transparent template, there are tons of cases you can make. For example you can print some watercolor feather pics like these and cut them out. Now place your template onto the phone and start arranging your feathers until you have your design. And then glue them to the template with some glue or double side tape. And once you have that ready place it onto the clear phone case. As you can see this technique is also really simple and really allows you to make any design you can think of.
For example for the next design, I started printing out a pic of this cute flamingo and cutting it out. Then I stick it to my clear template and on the other side of the template I made little stroke with light blue acrylic paint and then with a darker blue too.
But if you don’t own a printer another option is using this like exchange cards, I didn’t really know how they are called in English, in Spanish they are cromos, but yeah you can find them at craft stores, so you just need to cut those divider thingies and using the clear template again, just arrange them however you want, and once you are happy with how it looks just glue them down, don’t forget to cut any excess from the sides and it is all done!
And again if you don’t want to use a printer another option is using some cute washi tape like this. This method literally takes 2 minutes to make and if the washi tape is cute you will have a super cute case. As always cut out the excess from the sides and place the template on the phone case and voila! This was definitely the easiest one of all but it’s also really pretty.
Another option without needing a printer is using some marble contact paper, so trace your phone case and make a vertical line in the middle. Then you will need a box or anything that has that 90 degree angle and placing the corner in the middle line, just trace the sides, move it upwards a little and do the same thing and then cut your design. You will get something like this and the stick them onto the template.
And if you don’t want to use a template, another option is using this iridescent plastic, really pretty and you cut little triangles directly onto the phone case, cut as many as you want, you can use different colors… and then just put the phone back.
For the next idea you will need a paper template like this and since all of you have requested me to make an holographic DIY, you will need a piece of holographic contact paper, so just stick it to the template and cut the excess from the sides so you get something like this and then print out a picture, to find this you can search tumblr png and stick that also to your design, place it onto the case and bum! You have a super cute holographic case and you can always personalize it changing the picture in the middle for something else.
Another very similar option is printing any background you like and trace you phone case, cut it out, don’t forget the camera hole and to make this little speech bubble all you need to do is search tumblr speech bubble on Google and click the first link and there you can write whatever message you want and save it to your computer, then print and cut it like so and stick it to the background you choose before. This option allows you to make tons of designs and with that little program you can write whatever you want on your speech bubble.

Fox pillow:
Start off drawing the fox on a piece of paper, first an oval shape, the ears, nose, cheeks and eyes. cut that out and trace the outline onto a piece of fabric, I used felt, and cut that out too leaving one cm of seam allowance.
Cut another piece the same way, it can be the same color or different, and place them right sides together. And then sew or glue all the way around leaving a little gap at the bottom.
Use that to turn it inside out, and stuff it with some cotton or pillow stuffing. Finally close that little gap.
Now take the template again and cut the cheeks and the little triangles of the ears and use them to trace them onto some white fabric like this, cut them out, you don’t need to leave seam allowance this time and glue them careful to the pillow, you can sew them too, but I find gluing a lot easier. For the nose it’s super simple, just make a little black circle and glue it also to the pillow. And finally for the eyes you can cut like some curved lines but I decided to make them with some black rhinestone stickers. And that’s it!
Owl photo holder:
You will need some clay, I’m using the classic white clay and first I thought about incorporating some glitter as I’m doing in the video, but it was too much waste so I decided to leave the glitter for later… I shaped the owl like so, with its cute little ears and some holes for the eyes. And don’t forget to attach a wire so we can put the pin later. Let it dry for 20 hours more or less and mix some varnish or white glue or mod podge with glitter and paint all over the owl. Finally I used some rhinestone stickers, like the ones from the beginning, for the eyes and even tinier ones for the beak. I glued down the pin and it’s all done!! I really like how this one turned out, it’s super dainty and perfect to place next to jewelry or anywhere you want.
The last idea is really easy to make and you will need a piece of wood like this, the size is up to you and I decide to cover the edges with some marble contact paper to make it look better. So start off sketching your design with a pencil. I decided to draw an arrow and then I wrote hello fall, you can write something else of course,…once you’re happy with the design go over it with a tiny brush and some white paint. It’s kind of tricky at first but then it gets easier and you can always erase any mistake with the brush dipped in some alcohol. Add as many coat as you want and it is ready to decorate you room so it’s perfect for fall.

1 So the first one is about those annoying headphones, you know, you are listening to music, you have do something or go somewhere so you put them in your bag and when you take them out they have become like a brain teaser puzzle, and sometimes you’re just not in the mood to solve it! So the next time you’re using your headphones just use a hair clip, or any kind of clip for that matter, like so, and your headphones won’t get tangled again!
2 So I think that it has happened to all of us, that we are going to write something with a pen and it doesn’t work, even if you know that it still has ink in it… so don’t throw it away, just heat the tip with a candle or a lighter and it will work again!
3 So if when you look at the mirror every morning you feel like your hair is not healthy or it’s falling or you feel like your scalp is really itchy, and you don’t know what could be the problem…maybe it’s your shampoo, most of the typical shampoos that you can find at the drugstore have SLS, which is what creates the foam but it’s actually not very good for your hair or even for your health in general, so try switching to a more natural shampoo, maybe an organic one with no sulfates and your hair will feel so much healthier!
4 And continuing with the health issues, I’m sure that after a large meal you usually feel really sleepy and you want to take a nap, but at least until know I wasn’t paying any attention to what position I was sleeping in. and sometimes I would have stomach ache afterwards, so yeah your stomach is on the left side of your body, so technically you are supposed to sleep on your left side like this so your stomach doesn’t hurt afterwards.
5 So I’m sure it has happened to you before you want to eat some fruit and you find a banana that is just too ripe to eat, you know, the texture gets weird and stuff, but don’t throw it away, you can still use it if you put it in a glass and keep it the freezer like so, that way you can take it out whenever you want and make a smoothie with some milk, I’m using oat milk, and some raspberries, you can use any fruit you want and that’s it! You have a super healthy smoothie full of vitamins and really yummy.
6 So if you are anything like me you make a lot of mistakes when writing, like you just realize immediately but the damage is done so you cross out the mistake but you can still see it so you cross it a little more, and a little more and suddenly it’s a total mess…. But instead of crossing you can just write random words over it and your mistake will be completely covered.
7 So when trying new foundations at stores, and if you are not sure what color to choose, I’m sure you just take the sampler and put it on your hand.. but the thing is that probably your hand color won’t be exactly the same as your face color so don’t do that, instead just try it on your jaw line, I know that this is pretty obvious but I know a lot of people do it the wrong way so yeah, I wanted to share it!
8 So if you breathe with your chest you can’t really take a lot of air, you are actually supposed to breathe with your belly, and that way you can take a lot more air, it’s actually easier if you lay down so try it that way and you will see!
9 so the eternal problem, you have leftover pizza and you want to eat it so you put it in the microwave but the crust just get super soggy, so don’t do it like this, and no a glass of water doesn’t help either. So try using a sandwich maker like this one or a waffle maker if you have one. Place your pizza like so and let it heat for like 1 minute and it will be ready, and guys it turns out awesome it tastes like it was fresh made so definitely you should try this one out!
10 even if you are super tempted to scratch mmosquito bites, don’t scratch them, an effective remedy is heating a spoon in some hot water like this and press it onto the mosquito bite, and this is because heat destroys the protein that causes the itchiness, just press it slightly for like half a second, if you can handle the heat longer, it’s not hot enough, just be careful of course but it has to be really hot and just tap it super gently.

You will need a little notebook; I’m using this A6 size one but can use anyone you want.
You will also need a piece of cardboard like this and I use a nail file as a guide to make the kitkat fingers. Also cut another piece of cardboard of the same size of your notebook.
Then start covering the cardboard pieces with some air drying clay in a brown color. First the front and the sides and then the top and make some diagonal cuts, making sure that you don’t cut the cardboard, so it looks like a kitkat finger. Shape it with your hands until you like how it looks and then repeat with the other three cardboard pieces. As you see you only need to cover the top part.
You will also need to cover the big piece with the brown clay, just a thin layer on the top half of the rectangle.
Arrange all the pieces so it looks like a kitkat and let it dry for at least 20 hours.
For the next step, I decided to print out the logo like so and covering it with book covering plastic, so it looks more like a wrapper and cut the excess.
Now arrange your wrapper onto the kitkat bar, and make a cut at the top like so, so it looks like the wrapper is open. To make it more realistic you can add some tin foil too.
Secure the paper in the back with some hot glue. And for the bottom I used this edge scissors and I also glued that part to the back like so.
Finally arrange the tin foil, so it looks super realistic, you can add some glue to secure in place and glue your fake kitkat to the notebook.
I didn’t like how the spine looked like so I printed some more red paper, covered it with plastic and used that to cover the spine and the back of the notebook. Secure it with glue, you can use hot glue or regular glue for this and you kitkat notebook is finished!
Thumbs up the video if you want more videos like this!
Also, let me know what you want to watch next in the comments!

Donut mousepad:
You will need, a plain mouse pad, some printed donut, book covering plastic, scissors and glue.
The one I'm using is:
http://chicfetti.com/parties/printable/donut-banner
Cut it out and stick it to the mouse pad. Take your plastic and cover the entire thing. An easy hack for a perfect finish is using a card like so. Cut out the leftover plastic and it’s all done!
Sprinkle pencils:
You will need: some plain pencils, and some acrylic paint in your favorite colors.
Paint the pencil with a light color,. An easy hack to hold it in place while is drying is using a clothes pin. Now take some toothpicks and make some little lines with the rest of the colors so they look like cute candy sprinkles.
Panda stapler:
You will need: a plain stapler, and some air drying clay in black and white.
I'm using:
google.es/search?q=magic+dough&safe=active&client=firefox-b&tbm=isch&imgil=VvhSHMH5GPfc6M%253A%253B0TDG3MREwfITWM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.liderpapel.com%25252Fes%25252Fproducto%25252Fpasta-alpino-para-modelar-magic-dough-animals-caja-de-6-colores-de-40-gr&source=iu&pf=m&fir=VvhSHMH5GPfc6M%253A%252C0TDG3MREwfITWM%252C_&usg=__BcFabv1KfvwQ3ielmbQAv7vXw3M%3D&biw=1366&bih=589&ved=0ahUKEwj89vCkmbfOAhUFVxQKHT2lAwsQyjcIKQ&ei=zEyrV_zgIYWuUb3Kjlg#imgrc=VvhSHMH5GPfc6M%3A
Take a piece of the white clay and cover the top part of the stapler, make it smooth and make sure that you can still open and close the stapler. With the black clay make two little half circles for the ears, bean like shapes for the arms, and also for the legs. Make a little ball for the tail, and give it a cute face. Let it dry.
Clips and pins:
you will just need: some printed pics paper clips and book covering plastic. You can find these ones on Google images writing cute cartoon tumblr (similar here):
google.es/search?q=tumblr+png+cute&safe=active&client=firefox-b&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjE7Lu9jbzOAhXGNxQKHRbiCtAQsAQIHQ&biw=1366&bih=589#safe=active&tbm=isch&q=tumblr+cute+cartoon+png
Take a little piece of plastic and cover the little pics, first the front and then the back, and cut the excess leaving a little bit of edge. Finally just glue that to the clip adding a dot of hot glue and your cute clip is ready to be used!
Watermelon notebook:
You will need: a plain notebook and some paint. To make the watercolor effect, add some water to a tiny bit of paint.
Cute ruler:
Another useful supply is this ruler and you will need: scrapbook paper, a plain ruler, a cuter and glue.
Pineapple flash drive:
You will need: a tiny usb and air clay in yellow and green.
Start covering the bottom part of the usb with the yellow clay. Give it an oval shape and then with help of a knife make some lines so it looks like a pineapple. Once you are happy with the result let it dry and the the little lid. We need to cover it with the green clay. Make little cone-like shapes to represent the leaves and add them all around the lid.
Tassel bookmark:
You will need: a printed pic, embroidery thread and scissors.
Let’s start making the tassel of our bookmark. For that, wrap the thread around your fingers like so, until the loop is pretty full. Take another piece of string a thread it through the loop we just created and tie a knot. Take one more piece of string and wrap it around the top part of the loop as I’m doing in the video. Secure with a knot and cut the excess. Cut the bottom of the loop and your little tassel is finished. Now, cut the printed picture or some scrapbook paper and I decided to round the edges but you can leave them as they are if you want and punch a hole at the top. Thread and secure the tassel.
Cute clipboard:
You will need: some craft sticks, a binder clip and washi tape.
Place the sticks in a row and line them with the help of two more sticks. Glue another stick in diagonal to hold it in place, and break some more stick and glue them down too. Now glue the binder clip, this one is from tiger and decorate the clipboard with some washi tape, stickers or anything you want.

For the first one you will need to print out the words “good vibes”, you can choose other words too, and then cut them out, and you can leave some links between the letters like so, so you keep the space between them.
Then take some adhesive velvet and trace the mirror image of the letters, cut that out and you will get something like this. Take any plain pillow you have and just stick the velvet carefully and finally just cut the little links and that’s it!
This pillow was inspired by an expensive urban outfitters pillow and I think it turned out really cute.
For the second project you will need a wooden stick, some yarn and some summer pictures.
Start off cutting a piece of the yarn and tie it to the stick to make the hanging part.
Then take 3 pieces of yarn of the same size and also tie them to the stick, one in the middle and one on each side. You will get something like this. Then take the pictures and place them facing down under the yarn as I’m doing in the video and tape them in place. For a final decoration I took three golden cardstock triangles and I tape them at the bottom, and cut the excess yarn. You can choose any color for the triangles of course. And it is finished! This is perfect to show all of your summer pictures.
The last one is super super simple. You will basically need a little cactus and some little stones for fishbowls or things like that, so basically place some stones in a vase an then the cactus and fill the rest of the vase with more of the little stones. Finally you can use some dried flowers as decoration and you have the perfect little cute decoration for your room! This is perfect if you kill all the plants because these plants don’t need a lot of care.
So that was all, I hope you really like all these ideas and thumbs up if you do! Also if you are new here don’t forget to subscribe! Have an amazing week and thanks for watching!

Start off printing the unicorn emoji in a piece of paper, you can also trace it directly from the computer and then cut it out! Then, take any white fabric you like and trace the outline on the wrong side of the fabric. Then, flip the paper and outline the mirror image.
Then cut the fabric and don’t forget to leave at least one cm of seam allowance like this. Place your fabric pieces right sides together and pin them all around the pencil marks. Then you can sew or glue following the line, gluing is easier and faster, sewing gives you a better finish so that’s up to you and don’t forget leaving an opening at the bottom like so.
My first attempt with the pleather fabric didn’t turn up right so I made another one with a thiner fabric so after sewing or glueing turn it inside out and use the gap to stuff the pillow with pillow stuffing. Then close the gap, you can sew or use some glue.
To make the face details start off making two triangles for the ears with some pink felt and hot glue them in place. For the mouth part make like a comma shape with some lilac felt and also glue it in place. For the hair part I outlined the basic shape first and cut it and then draw the details with a pencil like so, I wasn’t really sure how to do this so if you have your own technique or way of doing this of course go ahead and do it as you want. There is one part of the hair that isn’t showing so I cut that off and glued the rest in place.
And for the horn part, I know that it has rainbow colors and stuff but I decided to use some golden fabric, I thought that it would look really good but of course you can use some felt pieces and do the rainbow horn and finally I cut some black and purple circle pieces for the eye and the mouth and I also glued them in place,.. and that’s it!!

So start off with some glycerin soap like this, it doesn’t have to be pink I just had this one and melt it in the microwave by heating it 30 seconds. Now it’s time to add the color changing agent and I’m using this pigment that I have previously used in some other DIY and I will link it down below
Product options:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Heat-reactive-colour-change-Thermochromic-FABRIC-Paint-Choose-a-colour-30ml/150801389949?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3D22f3b28e61b34f57b396780207c56060%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D150801389949

In ebay.com (lots of options):
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=Thermochromic+Temperature+BLACK+colour+changing+at+31c+powder+Ultra+pigment+5g&LH_BIN=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XThermochromic+pigment.TRS0&_nkw=Thermochromic+pigment&_sacat=0
There isn’t a certain amount you need to add but more or less half a teaspoon.
Then mix it really really well. For the mold I’m using this oreo mold I Found on ebay but you can also make your own with some mold putty, there are lots of tutorials on youtube on how to make one, so yeah just pour the liquid soap and put it in the freezer for like 5 minutes. Once it’s cold the pigment color will be visible and it will look exactly like a real oreo!
For the oreo filling I’m using some regular white soap and I try to melt it in the microwave, but the thing is that it doesn’t really melt, you just get like a creamy texture, so just I just put it in the mold like so. Then I put it in the freezer to chill and as I’m using the oreo mold, I got like all the outside details like this, so I just put it under warm water to get the actual smooth filling shape. You can of course use a separate mold for this.
You can obviously use some food or soap coloring to make different colors, I actually used some yellow coloring to try to make a golden oreo but it kind of turned out orange.
And after you have all the pieces just assembly them using some melted soap as glue… and that’s it!
As you can see it’s super simple to make some oreo soap like this, I think they look super cute, now let’s try the color changing effect: This is the orange one under some heat from a hair dryer and this is how they look like when you place them under some hot water. I think they are perfect as gifts because you never know what color they are going to turn out when you put them under hot water.
I hope you have an amazing weekend and thanks for watching!

Ok so the first one is for when you are maybe on a trip and the plugs of your hotel don’t fit your charger or maybe your friends and family are using them… so If you have a TV in your room, most of the then have a usb plug, so just look for them and just plug your phone and turn on the TV. And boom! You will have a charger!
The second one is for when you are studying, and if you are anything like me, you probably end up studying in the weirdest positions and your shoulders start hurting, so you can place the opposite hand on the spot you have the paint and rotate your shoulder as I’m doing here. If you do this right it will definitely ease your pain.
So, we all have some hangers that are so slippery that the clothes just fall, and although I know that there are some velvet hangers that you can buy, you can also reuse these one by gluing some dots of hot glue. And this will stop the clothes from falling and you won’t have to buy new hangers!
So a good way of cleaning jewelry that has that layer of, like not really rust but you know, like dirt is with some baking soda, so rub it like so and then rinse it off with water and dry it really really well and your jewelry will be super clean. You can’t really see it in camera but just try it at home and you will see!
Sooo, a really weird way of opening bottles like these ones is with an eyelash curler, and I know that it is a pretty weird way to open a bottle but it works so … yeah!
So if you have some make up on, especially some waterproof make up and you don’t have makeup remover, you can just use any cooking oil, I know it might sound weird but it just works and as long as you rinse it off with some soap your face will be fine.
So we all love Pringles, but sometime you just don’t want to get you hands dirty with the can and stuff. So just fold a piece of paper in half place it down the side of the can and use it to get out the chips like so. I know that this hack is already pretty popular but it gave me an excuse to buy Pringles so yeahh win!
So the last one is for those shoes that are maybe super slippery or hurt your feet so a super cool but very weird trick is to place a panty liner on the sole like this and that way, your heels wont slip, the sole will feel so much softer and when the panty liner gets dirty just remove it and your shoes will remain clean!

First take a sponge and start shaping the donut with some scissors, start making it round like so, it’s actually really easy, just take your time. Then make the hole, and make it slightly bigger, this was a little more difficult so just be patient.
Now that the basic form it’s ready we will cover it with some magic dough, this clay just dries flexible, so its perfect for our squishy, I wanted to use 3D paint, but I couldn’t find it where I live. So, as you can see, just make the dough flat and place it over the sponge and mold it to fit the shape, use your finger to poke the hole, and don’t forget to cover also the other side.
Now its time for the pink icing, so just take some more magic dough and make it flat like before, and use a toothpick or something similar to draw the shape. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect, you can fix it later. Remove the excess and place it over the donut! Let this dry for 1 day. Then I painted some sprinkles with some acrylic paint, but 3d paint works amazing too.

For the first idea you will need some kind of cute picture, you can search tumblr background spring or something like that on google or use some scrapbook paper if you prefer.
You will also need any kind of mouse pad you have around the house and use that to outline the shape of it on the paper. Cut it out and stick the paper on the mouse pad. Then use some sticky book covering plastic to protect your design and make the mouse go super smooth. Using a card is super helpful here. Cut the excess form the edge and that’s it!
For the super cute calendar, start off in an office document and open a table that will be 7by6 and stretch it like so to make it longer. In the first row you should add the days of the week. And in the rest the number of the days, each month obviously starts on a different day so make sure you do this right. You can change the fonts if you want and make the numbers bigger, things like that. Finally hide the actual table so you have only the days and numbers.
Place that on the bottom part of the paper and write your month, change the font and the size and add your picture or illustration.
Mine was from Anum Tariq illustrations.
Make sure you choose one that fits your style or the style of your room. Print it out and you have your very own calendar. You asked me a lot how I made mine when I posted it on instagram so here it is!
For the last idea you will need some modeling clay in any color, I chose white and make a snake with it, add a second color like this and roll it until it’s incorporated. I added a little more of the blue because it wasn’t enough, and then the camera decided to stop recording but I basically made a ball and flattened it like so. I printed this hexagon as my template to cut the clay but you can give it any shape you want. And don’t forget to bake it following the instructions of your clay. Finally you can paint the edge with some gold paint or a marker like me or leave it plain if you want, and that’s it! You will have some super cute coasters for your desk, and I think they are a really cute gift too!

You will need a tic tac container like this and start off removing the label. Once it’s clean take out the white cap thing and check out if your sharpener fits, obviously the smaller the better, for example this one is too big, and once you decided which one you want secure it in place with some hot glue or any strong glue you have.
Once the glue dries, your new pencil sharpener is ready! Now, there are millions of ways to decorate this, for example you can print any picture or illustration you want, like this one, outline the shape of the container and cut it out. Then, place in the container like so and that’s it! This idea gives you a lot of options and you can also change the picture if you get bored.
You can of course use the classic washi tape and make any design you want.
And I also printed some emojis in some stickers paper, so they are like little stickers, and use them to decorate the little container.
Now you can use it to sharpen your pencils and you won´t make a mess with the shaving because they will stay in the container.

For the first project, you will need a pair of fabric sneakers and some tape, I’m using washi tape because it sticks better to the fabric, and then just make any design you want you can also free hand some drawing if you want, you know, get creative…and also line the edge so you don’t get paint there.
To paint you can use some color changing fabric paint, or some fabric paint and some color changing pigment, you just need to combine then, like so, just like I made in my other color changing videos, the more pigment you add the bigger color change you are going to get.
Product options:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Heat-reactive-colour-change-Thermochromic-FABRIC-Paint-Choose-a-colour-30ml/150801389949?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3D22f3b28e61b34f57b396780207c56060%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D150801389949

Then just paint your sneakers however you want, I just painted each segment with a different color, again, use your imagination here and make any design you want. Once you paint everything remove the tape and let them dry!
For the second project you will need any shirt you have, just place an old book or a piece of cardboard inside so it’s like a nice surface to draw and I choose this design for my shirt, I will leave it on my tumblr page:
http://diylover89.tumblr.com/post/141972678873
Just draw your basic design with a pencil. Once you are happy with it just go over it with a fabric marker. I’m using some color changing fabric paint here and I added the final details with the fabric marker, and that’s it!!
As you see the color changing effect is super cool, I wanted to try them outside but the weather is still cold and cloudy, but I’m sure they will be amazing in summer when the weather gets warmer.

FAKE WATER
So for the first one I’m going to show you a really easy way to make those fake water vases. First just fill a vase with water and pour that onto a pot. You will also need some pure gelatin or agar agar, I’m using six leaves for 1 and ¼ cups of water and I let them soak for 5 minutes in cold water.
Once the water in the pot is hot, add a little bit of vinegar and the soaked gelatin and let everything melt.
After that I poured the liquid onto this glass so I could see the color better and I added some food coloring in blue mixed with a little bit of water so it gives a slight tint and I poured that onto the vase through a funnel. Then arrange your fake flower however you want and let it set overnight. And that’s it! You will have a super cute vase that doesn’t spill water and a lot cheaper than acrylic mixtures.
EASY CLEANING
There are tones of hacks for cleaning little spaces little keyboards and things like that, but I think that the easiest one of all is just using a q-tip. It’s super simple to use and it doesn’t leave any sticky residue or anything!
TAGLED NECKLACES
I’m sure you have in your room a bowl full of tangled necklaces, so for me, the best way to store them is inside some mini zip log plastic bags. They won’t get tangled or get damage from the air and it makes it super easy to see everything and to choose which one you want to wear.
DEEP SHELVES
So if you have some deep shelves with lots of books sometimes it’s hard to see the ones that are in the back, so just take an old phone book or any book that you don’t really like and put them under the books at the back and that way you will be able to see them and choose the one you want.
SOCKS!
This is a super simple way of folding socks, so just fold them like so and put the toe part inside the hole like this and that’s it! The sock pairs will stay together and they will be super nicely folded.
NUTELLA CANDLE
Ok so the next one is not really a life hack, it’s just a room décor idea, so you will need an empty nutella jar like this and glue a candle wick at the bottom like so. Melt some wax, enough to fill the jar and add some melted chocolate or nutella, this will add some color and a little bit of scent. But don’t add too much or the candle won’t work. You can also add some wax crayons to make the color darker and finally pour that onto the nutella jar. Let it set and boom! Nutella candle perfect for your room!
WAX CLEANING?
So making the candle I thought that it would be useful to have a hack for cleaning wax stains, you know for little accidents and stuff. So I found a hack where you place a paper towel and add hot air with a hair dryer, it didn’t really work so I decided to use an iron, this worked a bit better and it get rid of some of the stain but not completely, so this hack it doesn’t work!
So those were all the hacks, let me know if you knew any of them before and tell me any other weird hack you know, so we can all learn something new!

1st hack:
So I’m sure most of you have already heard the hack of using a fork with your Oreos when you dip them on milk but you can step up your game using some skewer sticks, that way you can dip more than one Oreos at a time!
2nd hack:
You really liked my nutella brownie from my weird hacks video, a way to make the same thing with Oreos is crushing 5 of them, add a packet of stevia, a pinch of baking powder, and ¼ cup of milk, mix it well and put it for 1 minute in the microwave at high heat. And that’s it!! You can add some toppings if you want and it is delicious!
3rdhack:
This one is not just for Oreos, it works for any cookies or homemade snacks, so you can make a cute box to display them, making four cuts onto a paper plate, fold them like so, fold the pointy edges to the inside and secure everything with a cord and some ribbon for decoration like this. I added this cute paper that came with the paper plate and that’s it! This is the perfect way of making a cute box for cookies for birthdays and things like that!
4th hack:
A really easy way to make oreo sprinkles for any dessert is just taking a pepper grinder like this, crush an oreo into small pieces like so and put it on the grinder. And that’s it! Super simple oreo sprinkles!
5th hack:
I tried to think a way of making Oreos a little healthier or at least less unhealthy, and a way to do this is actually just to eat them for breakfast. Of course I’m not a nutritionist, but studies have shown that eating something sweet for breakfast can help with not having cravings during the day and also if you eat them early in the morning you kind of make sure that you are going to use those calories during the day.
6th hack:
I’m sure most of you know the classic oreo-toothpaste prank, but the key here is to take out the first cookie, then take the second one twist it open, take out the filling and fill it with a little bit of toothpaste, so it really looks like a real oreo. Then put them back into your bag, and when you are with your friend just casually eat the first oreo and offer them the second one, they are going to fall everytime.
7th hack:
The last one, it might sound really really weird to you, but trust me it is perfect as a party snack or to impress a friend because it is so crazy but as you see it’s just wrapping an oreo in a bacon strip, then hold it in place with a toothpick and put it in the microwave for 20 seconds or so, and it is delicious, try it out if you don’t believe me and you will see.
So those were all the hacks, let me know if you knew any of them before and tell me any other weird hack you know, so we can all learn something new!

The first one is for when you have a picture and you want to hang it somewhere but you don’t have a frame, so just take a straw like this, cut a slit through it, and then cut following the length of the picture, then you can place it like this on the picture, do the same with another piece, and finally you can add a ribbon or cord through the straw to hang it like this! And it won’t fall! This is perfect if you have a lot of picture to hang but not enough frames!
The second one is not really that weird, but it’s for when you are traveling by bus or train, and you are maybe a little paranoid of someone stealing your bag while you sleep, so just pass your leg through one of the straps and that way no one will be able to take your bag.
The next one is for when you need to draw a perfect circle and all you can draw are potatoes like me, so just press your knuckle against the paper and just rotate it like so keeping your pen still, and voila! You will easily get a perfect circle!
The next one is really useful, and I just discovered it, so if you need to put a key on a keychain, don’t use your nails, use a staple remover instead, it’s super easy and you won’t break your nails!
The next one is for when you are cooking and you don’t know where to put the cookbook, it just closes all the time and stuff, so just use one of those hangers with clips, and hang it from one of your cabinet’s knobs.
The next one is for your beauty bender and all those annoying foundation stains, so fill a cup with water and little bit of soap and let it soak for like four hour or overnight and that really gets rid of all the stains.
So let’s say you have a craving like for a brownie of something but you don’t want to spend 2 hour baking, a super quick and easy way to do one is mixing four teaspoons of nutella in a bowl, a little bit of milk and three teaspoons of flour, mix it well and put it for 20-30 seconds in the microwave. And you will have an instant brownie!
And the last one is for when you are using those shoes, that are so uncomfortable, they give you blisters in your heels, so take your eos or any lip balm really and rub a little bit on your heel and that’s it! The shoes will stop hurting your heels.
So those were all the hacks, let me know if you knew any of them before and tell me any other weird hack you know, so we can all learn something new!
Also, let me know what you want to watch next in the comments!

Start of printing out any pictures you want, search tumblr png and you will find amazing ones.
Cut them out leave some edge, like this. I used two ways to create the color changing effect.
For the first one, I used the color changing paint that I have used in my previous videos. You can find it on ebay, amazon and craft shops in general, I used this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Heat-reactive-colour-change-Thermochromic-FABRIC-Paint-Choose-a-colour-30ml/150801389949?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3D22f3b28e61b34f57b396780207c56060%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D150801389949
More options:
In ebay spain:
http://www.ebay.es/itm/151253215490?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
In ebay.com (lots of options):
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=Thermochromic+Temperature+BLACK+colour+changing+at+31c+powder+Ultra+pigment+5g&LH_BIN=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XThermochromic+pigment.TRS0&_nkw=Thermochromic+pigment&_sacat=0
so just paint the areas that you want the color change to happen, like the hair of this girl. Apply as many coats as you need to make it opaque.
Then just let them dry.
Another option is using some heat sensitive pigment and some ceramic varnish together; I also did this in one of my past videos, just mix a little bit of both and apply onto your pictures with a brush. As always it’s better to apply two thin coats than a thick one.
After they dry cut the edge we left before, you can leave a thin edge if you want, that’s up to your choice.
To make the sticker effect, I’m using this adhesive plastic, which it’s usually used to cover books. So I’m just placing the pictures between the two plastics like this, so it sticks to the top… and then cut them out. Now it’s really important that you leave at least half a cm of edge this time, like this.
And that’s basically it! Now you can stick then wherever you want, for example on your tumbler cup like so, or onto your planner…the possibilities are endless so use your imagination and stick them wherever you want!
As you see, they work fantastic and they are really really fun and you can switch them up whenever you want!

The first thing you will need is some sticker or adhesive paper. You can find this at any craft store. Take any phone case that fits your phone, it doesn’t have to be transparent or anything and trace the outline on the paper, don’t make it perfect, it’s just a guide.
I’m going to use some color changing paint mixed with some color changing pigment to make the effect stronger:
In ebay spain:
http://www.ebay.es/itm/151253215490?_...
In ebay.com (lots of options):
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=...
So I’m just mixing a little bit of both and painting on the sticker paper. Let it dry before adding a second layer, and you can also add a layer of mod podge or varnish to protect it and make it shiny.
After letting everything dry, trace the outline of your phone case again including the camera holes and stuff and cut it out!
Then just stick it to your phone case and that’s it! You can try and paint directly onto the phone case too, but I wanted something a little less permanent. Now let’s try it out!
As you see, it works fine and the finger prints left have a lot of detail! This is how it looks cold and hot. And it will also tell you if your phone is heating up too much from charging!

The first thing you will need is a clean nutella jar, as you see I don’t have one so I’m using a jar that looks like the nutella jar and a printed nutella label. I used this:
http://diylover89.tumblr.com/post/136463468218/for-your-nutella-soaps
You will also need a soap dispenser, we will be using the pump and soap that’s inside.
So first, pour the soap into a bowl, and then to make it look like nutella add a couple of teaspoons of pure cocoa powder. Add them one by one and mix it well until it has the right color. I was expecting it to smell like chocolate but it didn’t so you can add some chocolate soap essential oils if you want.
Then I removed the label of my jar, you can skip this step if you have an actual nutella jar and carefully make a hole with a cutter on the lid. Make it bigger with some scissors until it fits the pump of the soap bottle.
Make sure that it works fine and secure it with some hot glue in the back, as I’m doing here.
Pour the soap in the jar, and cut the label like this. And I also cut some adhesive plastic a little bigger than the label. This way the label is protected from the water and soap, I stick it to the label like so and then to the jar. Finally, put the lid back in place and your nutella soap is finished!
I tried the soap and you can wash your hand exactly like a regular soap so it works fine.

Message me or I will contact you shortly!
Hey guys!! I’ve been super requested to make some cheap and easy gift ideas! So that what I’m making today! All of these are super simple and under 5 dollars each so I hope you enjoy!
For the first idea you will need a clear phone case, just make sure it fits the phone your friend has. Go to their instagram page to take their favorite pictures, you can also use any pictures you have together, things like that, and arrange them in an office document, so they more or less fit the size of the phone case. Print it out.
Then trace the outline of the case, including the camera holes and stuff and cut it out.
Make sure that it fit in the case and that it!
For the second idea you will need some furry fabric, a cheap headband and a little bit of stuffing or cotton.
Start off drawing 4 circles on the wrong side of the fabric. You can use a cup or a glass for this.
Cut them out making sure you leave one cm of seam allowance. Now, place them right sides together and sew or glue following the line, and leaving a little gap at the end.
Then, use that gap to turn the piece inside out, and use the gap to stuff it too. Finally place the headband and make sure that it fits, you can try it on if you want and glue it in place with some hot glue or some strong glue if you prefer. Once you feel that the headband is secure they are finished!!
For the third idea you will need the frame of a picture frame, some cord and some little pins. You will also need to print some mini pictures like so and make sure you leave a gap between them so when you cut them out you can get some mini Polaroid pictures like these.
Tie a knot with the cord on one of the sides of the frame and wrap it around it until you cover the whole thing. And once you finish tie another knot to secure it. Finally just hang the mini pictures with the pins and you will get a super fun way to give a picture in a frame type of present!
The next idea I found it on pinterest and you will need: a jar, a candle, some sprinkles, a wax crayon and some essence. Start off taking out the wick of the candle, you can also buy some wicks but I couldn’t find them where I live, then glue it to the bottom of the jar. To stick the sprinkles I covered the inside of the jar with some olive oil but you can use syrup too. Add the sprinkles and swirl them around so they stick to the glass. Cut and melt the candle part or some wax, you do it in the microwave or on a double boiler. And once it is melted add a little piece of crayon if you want it to have color, I chose yellow and some essence oil, I chose lemon.
Pourg the melted wax into the jar. Let it cool down completely and cut the excess wick. Use some cellophane to wrap the candle like so, and make a bow with a piece of ribbon to complete the present!
The last one is super simple; you will need some chocolate of your choice, some candy and some lollipop sticks or skewer sticks.
Place your chocolate in a heatproof container or glass and melt it on the stove or in the microwave. Place your sticks onto some non sticking paper or aluminum foil like me and carefully pour the melted chocolate to form the lollipops. Then, place the candy you choose and put them for 5 minutes in the fridge to dry.
Then wrap them in some cellophane and tie a bow with a ribbon like we did before to make them look super cute and ready to give away. These are the perfect gift for children or anyone that loves chocolate!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I got the inspiration from this bear sold at aliexpress and I thought it was the perfect project to make it myself.
You will basically need any little teddy bear or stuffed animal, I chose this rilakuma one, but you can use whatever you want and a portable charger, just make sure they both have a similar size so the charger fits into the teddy bear.
You will need to find the stitches that are on the top of the head and start cutting them with some sewing scissors. Do this really carefully so you make sure you just cut the stitches and you don’t damage the fabric. Make a hole big enough to fit the charger and once you make sure that it fits, take out a little bit of the stuffing.
Then, with the charger in place sew a couple of stitches at the front as I’m doing here, this will make sure the charger is tight and that the stitches that we cut before don’t come apart. Do the same to the back.
And as my charger is square, I needed to cut a little bit down the sides, this will be different depending on the shape of your charger and as you see I also tugged in the fabric like so.
Once the charger is exactly where you want it to be, you need to secure it with some glue.
You can separate the fabric with some tweezers and add a tiny drop of some strong glue, and use the tweezers to push the fabric a little bit like so. Do this for all the corners and maybe to two of the sides but as I said add the least amount of glue you can so you don’t damage the charger or the fabric.
So, I hope you liked this little idea and make sure you leave me in the comments which video you would want to see next.
Thanks for watching!!

Cute clay accessories:
Ingredients: cornstarch (Maizena), white glue, oil (olive or other), vaseline or petrolium jelly. Acrylic paint or nail polish to paint, and some wire and chain or similar depending on which accessory you want to make.
Star off mixing two teaspoons of cornstarch with two teaspoons of white glue, a tiny bit of olive oil and a tiny bit of vaseline. Mix it well until it has this sticky consistency. Heat it in a pot with hot water and stir well. It will take like 5 minutes for it to harden and stick to the spoon and that’s the moment when you take it out!
Knead it with your hands until it cools down and start shaping any accessories you want. If it’s the first time you’re making these accessories, try to keep them simple. Here, I’m making a little penguin, and a little popsicle. Then, take a piece of wire, twist it like so to make a little hook and place it onto your accessory so you can hang it later. Leave them dry for three days.
Now, it’s time to paint them. You can use acrylic paint or nail polish for this. Use a small brush, obviously and you can use a marker or a toothpick for the details. Use some clear nail polish to protect the design and let it dry.
I also made a couple more designs with the leftover clay and using jump ring, I made a necklace with the penguin and a keychain with the other charms!
I think this gift is really easy to personalize and there are tons of designs you can make.
Photo calendar:
For the second gift, start printing any calendar design you want, I'm using this one:
scrappystickyinkymess.wordpress.com/2015/06/16/2016-calendar-horizontal-for-a-change
cut it out and also print and cut some pictures of the same size.
You will also need, 12 pieces of cardstock and 2 slightly bigger pieces of cardboard. The size is up to you but make sure the calendar pages and the pictures fit well. Glue the calendar pages and the pictures to the cardboard, like so, until you get every single month of the year. You can also decorate the pages with some washi tape, stickers or anything you want. Also, decorate one of the cardboard pages to make a cover, for example, I glued a picture and added some stickers but you can make any design you want.
Punch some holes and use the first page you make as a guide to make sure all pages have the holes at the same place.
Put the calendar together, with the cover first and place some book rings on the holes. And your calendar will be finished.
As you see it stays up really nicely, so it’s perfect to have it on your desk or side table.
Decoden mirrors:
The third gift, it’s for all the girly girls out there. You will need a pocket mirror, some cabochons, some white silicone caulk and a piping bag.
So basically, just decorate the mirror lid with the silicone and the piping bag, as it was icing and then place some cabochons here and there making any design you want. I also used some pearls and placed some rhinestones with the help of some tweezers.
You can use the same technique to decorate a bigger mirror like this, or even a frame and place a picture of your friend inside.
Easy chocolates:
For the last gift idea you will need a mold (MINE IS FROM FNAC). So melt some chocolate in the microwave and place a tiny bit in each hole of the mold. Then, swirl it around so the chocolate covers all the surface. Keep it in the freezer for 3 minutes until it dries. In the meantime prepare all the ingredients you want to use for the filling. You can use some pistachios, raisins, walnuts even some strawberry jam or you can take a couple of oreo cookies, crush them, add a little bit of cream cheese and mix it until it is well combined and it creates a paste. Now, use all your ingredients to fill the chocolates. Finally pour a little more chocolate and gently tap them like so to remove any air bubbles.
Keep them for 5 minutes on the freezer and then take them out of the mold. For the gift box, I chose a star shaped one, I wrapped the chocolates in some tissue paper and place them carefully inside the box. Decorate the box with a cute bow and your gift is finished.
This gifts is perfect for absolutely anyone, for your boyfriend, for your parents and make sure to personalize the ingredients so they like the chocolates.

One of the online pages that I like using is graphicstock. This site is a library with over 300,000 royalty free images, that means no copyright infraction problems, and they are always adding new content so that the library is always fresh and new.
For example, I’m going to choose this transparent image, download it, open it with photoshop and erase everything but these flowers right here. Then, I’m opening it in sony vegas in a new track over my video. I add a clock transition to the beginning and add some text on top. And that’s a cute way to make a title intro.
As you see, there are tons of ways you can use all these images and just in time for the holidays, GraphicStock is offering you guys an exclusive $50 off coupon from their Annual Membership in case you are interested. Usually the annual fee is $99, but for a limited time you can get a full year of GraphicStock for just $49!

To edit my voiceover I just record them in my camera and import them onto Audacity. This is a free program, really easy to use and perfect for basic audio editing, like cutting a removing noise and that’s what I use to edit my voiceovers.
You also ask a lot about my fonts and I use 1001fonts.com for this. You have endless font options, all of them are free and they are really easy to download and install them on your computer.
And remember everything you want to know, it’s probably already out there , so just Google it or search it on YouTube and you will find how to do something!!

Disclaimer: thank you Graphicstock for sponsoring this video.
I hope you like my DIY decorations for the season.
For the first one, start off with a piece of white cardstock and make a cone with it, you can also use any premade cones you have. Cut out the excess from the bottom.
Then take a white feather boa and glue it down all around the cone with some hot glue. Continue like that until you reach the top of the cone. Then, cut any excess feather that is very out of place. Take some little ornaments or balls and glue them all around the tree, they don't have to be these exact ones of course, I also made a little bow and I glue it to the top of my tree. And finally, as it was too white, I took some red and green pompoms and I glued them all around my tree.
And it’s done! This is the perfect way to make a mini Christmas tree to decorate your room.
For the advent calendar, start with a bunch of candy bars like this or any kind of sweets of your choice. Then wrap them as they were little gifts or present, you can use wrapping paper, brown paper or anything you have at home. Decorate the little packages with some ribbon or washi tape, you can also give the packages the shape of sweets like this one and tie some cords at the ends, so yeah, go ahead and use your imagination to make lots of different designs. Remember to make 25 of them.
Then, I made some little circles with the numbers inside, you can also draw them if you want and cut them out. Tape them to little pins like this one, you can also use regular clothes pins, and pin them to your little packages.
As you see, I already have in my room a place where I hang all my pictures. It s just regular cord hung from some command hooks and then some fairy lights wrapped around it. So I took down the pictures and I hung up the advent calendar.
I think it looks super nice with the fairy lights, and if you try this make sure you hang them really well so they don't fall.
The last idea is really really simple. Take a plain pillow and a piece of red tulle, wrap it around the pillow and make a couple of knots. Then take another tulle piece of the same size and wrap it around the other two sides, pass the ends under the first knot and make another knot.
Finally take shorter pieces of tulle pass one end under the big knot and make another knot. Repeat this with three or four more pieces.
Finally gather all the ends together and cut them like so, so they all have the same length. Make them all fluffy and that’s it!
As you see this was super simple to make, I hope the instructions were clear, but leave me a comment if you didn’t understand something and I will try my best to answer.

Start off by searching and printing an 8 bit heart design, cut it out and use it to outline the shape onto your mug with a pencil, you can also free hand this, but I find it easier this way.
Then go over with a porcelain marker or a marker suitable for mugs. Keep carefully completing the design until you finish with the black outline. To paint the red part, I’m using this porcelain paint so just go ahead and paint your red part with something that is designed to paint in porcelain or mugs.
For the second design, I free handed the design using a picture as a guide. Don't worry if you make any mistake, you can clean it up easily with a q-tip and some alcohol. After finishing your design, fill the inside of the gauge with red paint.
Now follow the instructions of your paint and markers and bake the mugs to seal the design if they need so.
To make the color changing effect, I’m using this heat sensitive pigment, that as always I found on eBay,
http://www.ebay.es/itm/151253215490?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=450310889820&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
and I will mix it with some ceramic varnish.
Just place a little bit of the pigment and a little bit of the varnish and mix it well. The consistency must be something similar to ink. Make sure it’s pretty opaque but not too thick.
And finally just paint over the red parts of your design. And remember, It’s much better to apply two thin coats instead of a thick one. Let it dry for at least 10 hours.
So, as you can see, it works amazing. The pigment doesn’t become completely transparent, but it works perfectly fine for these kind of designs. The effect obviously is not permanent, it goes back to black once it completely cools down, which takes like 20 minutes. And you can also pour some cold water to fasten this process.
And that's it!!

For the first one you will need a clear phone case and some cabochons of your choice, these ones:
http://sophieandtoffee.com/20mm-white-marc-jacob-inspired-daisy-flower-cabochon
http://sophieandtoffee.com/rhinestones/?sort=newest&page=3
Arrange them on your case and once you are happy with the design glue them in place, as you see, I’m using a hot glue gun, but I recommend using some strong glue instead.
To give the final touch, I took these little pearls and I glued them carefully with the help of some tweezers.
For the next one I’m using this rose trim that I’ve got from eBay:
http://www.ebay.es/itm/1Yard-3D-CHIFFON-Small-Rose-Flower-Mesh-Trim-DIY-Lace-Craft-563-Pink-B-/371188650524?hash=item566c91521c:g:Gw4AAOSwv1RUZMEs
And as you see You just need to glue it down with some hot glue. Once you get to the bottom, cut the excess and start a new line. the parts around the camera hole are too small so just glue some pearls with some strong glue.
For the next I’m making a stencil first, just outlining the shape of my case on some paper and cutting it out. This step is not completely necessary but it’s recommended in phone cases with curves at the edges like mine, so make sure it fits perfectly before continuing. Then I searched a cute nutella picture, because I love nutella and just trace the stencil and cut it out, you can totally use any picture, but I thought this one was super super cute.
As I said you can totally make any case using this technique, here I’m using an Instagram logo picture, trace it as before and cut it out. You can definitely go creative here and personalize your design the way you want!
For the next one we’re going to start with a white paper stencil like this, then cut out and glue a piece of brown paper, you can totally use a brown paper bag for example. And also print out the starbucks logo and glue it in the middle like so. Finally write your name on one sides of the paper so it looks like a personalized paper cup from starbucks. This case it’s perfect as a gift for starbucks lovers.
For the last one, I’m starting gluing a little mirror to our phone case using some strong glue. And then, just glue down some pearls all around the mirror and covering all the phone case. This process was definitely the most time consuming, so make sure you are very patient with this. You can use different kind of little pearls for this and be very creative, But as I said it was really time consuming and I got pretty tired at the end! But I really really like how it turned out!!

I mainly got the inspiration from this picture on etsy:
etsy.com/listing/210413167/oreo-and-milk-scented-candle?ref=market
You will obviously need some wax and wicks, but if you can’t find them, you can also buy some cheap candles as I did here, cut the container and easily remove the wick like so.
Now that you have the material, cut the wax candle into smaller pieces and melt it in the microwave, heating it one minute at a time, then stir well, another minute, and continue like so until the wax is completely melted.
To make the oreo cookie part, I’m adding one piece of black crayon, and a little bit of brown crayon. Then add any essence oil you want and stir well.
To create the shape, I'm using this silicone mold:
http://www.ebay.es/itm/321389538487?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
but you can also make it yourself with some molding putty.
Pour the liquid wax and let it set, you can put it in the freezer to speed the process. Then, take it out and you will have one perfect oreo cookie.
Now take some white melted wax and let it set until it has a creamy consistency, whisk that with a fork and use the mixture to make the cream filling. The wax isn’t very hot at this point so you can use your finger like so. Top it off with another cookie and you will have one wax oreo.
There are tons of different candle designs you can make with these oreos. For the first one make a bunch of them stack them up like so and then poke a hole with a skewer stick as I'm doing here. Use that hole to pass a wick and you can also use some melted wax to stick it to the cookies so it doesn’t move and that’s it! This is super cute as room decor or as a little gift for anyone that loves oreos.
For the next one, start off gluing the wick to a glass. Then melt some white wax and add your essence. Then pour that onto the glass with the wick, and as you see you can hold the wick in place with some popsicle sticks. While that dries cut one of the wax oreo halves in smaller pieces. And once the wax starts to cool place carefully one of the wax oreos like so and hold it there for a couple of minutes and once that dries add the little crumbles as decoration.
This idea is super super cute, once you have the oreo is really easy to make and you can totally switch the cookie if you’re not really into oreos!
The last design is definitely my favorite, start off like the other one, I’m using a rounder glass this time. Then again melt some wax in the microwave and add a brown piece of crayon this time. Add your essence and pour it on to the glass with the wick.
Now, melt some white wax and once it starts to get solid, whisk it as we did before and use that to make the icing or the whipped cream of our candle. The amount you add is up to your choice but make sure it touches the wick. Then take one half of the oreo, or the whole cookie if you want and place it on one side of the whipped cream. And finally take some real sprinkles and decorate your candle the way you want. I’m using pink hearts, because I love hearts and pink… and that’s it guys! This super cute candle is finished! Make sure you leave them chill for at least one day before lighting them up and yeah! This is a super cute room decor piece and the possible designs are endless!

The first ingredient is some clear glue, any brand would work and I’ve heard that white glue works too, but I haven’t personally tried it.
Then you would need the thing that will make it change color, I’m using this heat sensitive fabric paint that I found on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Heat-reactive-colour-change-Thermochromic-FABRIC-Paint-Choose-a-colour-30ml/150801389949?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3D22f3b28e61b34f57b396780207c56060%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D150801389949
but you can use any paint or pigment that is heat sensitive. The amount you add is up to your choice, the more you add the more vibrant the color is going to be. And it’s really important that you mix it really really well.
And the last ingredient is laundry detergent, and it doesn’t have to be this brand, I’m pretty sure any brand will work.
You don't need a certain amount , just add a little bit at a time and mix it well with the glue as I’m doing here. As you see the slime will eventually stop sticking to the bowl and that’s the moment you take it out. At first is going to be really wet and difficult to work with but keep kneading it with your hands and that’s it! You will have the perfect slime.
Now let’s test if it changes color!
I decided to make a ball with it and dip it into some cold water and as you see it definitely changes color but is not as vibrant as I expected, I also let it cool down completely and the heat it again with a hair dryer. And also I placed one of the halves in the fridge and I heated the other half with my hands and then mix them to see the two colors together.
And as the glue is clear you can stretch it like this and make kind of a window.

For all the design you will need some cords, in different colors and some beads.
Loop bracelet measurements: central cord 20-25 cm, Pink and blue cords 1'10 m each aprox., closure cord 30 cm.
For the first design start taping a piece of cord to the table so it doesn’t move. Cross another piece of cord under the first one and start making some square knots. Take the left cord cross it over the centre and under the right cord and thread this right cord under the centre and through the loop created by the left and centre cords. Then do the same on the other side. Take the right cord cross it over the centre and under the left cord and thread this left cord under the centre and through the loop created by the right and centre cords.
Then make two more square knots. Then take another piece of cord, in a different color if you want, and thread it under the middle cord. Now make 4 square knots. Take a bead and thread it through the middle cord. Now take the first cords, the pink ones in my case and pass them over the blue ones, and make four square knot, and remember to make them slightly looser. Then pass the blue cords over the pink ones and do the same thing. Now press those knots up to create the loops. Then , just repeat as many times you want.
Once your bracelet is complete cut out the side cords, and secure the last knot with some clear nail polish.
For the closure, tape the leftover cords, and with another piece make some looser square knotsand finally add some smaller beads and a knot to finish your bracelet.
Spiral bracelet measurements: central cord 20-25 cm, side cords 60 cm each, closure cord 30 cm.
The second design is a little twist to the typical square knot so start threading four or five beads through a cord. And then taking another piece of cord, as we did before, thread it under and start making a regular square knot, but now instead of switching sides, just start from the same side as before and keep doing this till the end always starting the knot from the same side. You will create this super cool spiral effect. Then do the same to the other side. once you finish cut the side cords again and make the same closure but again starting all the knots from the same side. Add a couple of beads and knots to the sides and that’s it!
Switch knot bracelet measurements: two purple cords 60 cm each, two pink cords 60 cm each, closure cord 30 cm.
For the third design tape two pieces of cord. Then take another one, in a different color if you want, as you can see, I’m using purple and pink, and make two regular square knots.
Then cross those pink cords over the purple ones, and make two square knots, now with the purple ones. Cross those purple cords over the pink ones and repeat until you get the length you want. Cut the side cords, and then make the same closure as for the first bracelet.
Braid bracelet measurements: to make 3 square knot bracelets, you will need two cords: th first one 20 cm and the second one 1'10 m. (for each of the three parts)
The last design is even easier, so start making three regular square knot bracelets of the size of your wrist. Tape them together on one of the ends and make a braid with the three bracelets. Tape that end too, and make some square knots with the leftover cords. Again, cut the side cords and make the same closure as before.
