Flower Headbands

This is a basic craft that young girls will love and even grown up girls. 



Supplies:
A headband (preferably a round one that you don't use anymore)
A glue gun
Fake flowers


Step 1:
Take the fake flowers and cut off the stems. make sure to save them for the next step.

Step 2: 

Take the stem material that you cut off and make it wavy by bending and twisting it, then wrap the wavy stem around your headband.

Step 3:

 Use the hot glue gun on the back of your flowers, then place them on your headband wherever you want.

Hope you enjoy this easy craft! Until next time!

Toilet Paper Roll Flowers

This is a simple creative easy way to turn those annoying empty toilet paper rolls into art.

Supplies:

Toilet paper rolls (paper towel rolls work too!)

Hot glue gun 

Scissors 

Step 1: fold toilet paper roll in half

Step 2: cut roll into equal parts 

Step 3: hot glue together in the shape of a flower. (Personally I made them 5 petals each but you can do whatever you find easiest) 

You can continue to this for as many flowers as you want I have a goal for a large flower collage to hang on the wall in my living room.

I recommend you should paint them if you want to just to get rid of that cardboard color!

Thanks for viewing!!

Brownie cups

For this simple recipe I used brownie mix but if you make brownies from scratch feel free to do so. 

Directions

Follow instructions on the box of brownie mix but when done mixing pour batter into cupcake tins take a second cupcake tin and place that one on top of the other one to enclose the brownies. (You can push down on it but be careful not to spill it over.) Once the brownies are done wait till they have cooled down put some icecream in the cup part and enjoy!!!

Blog's beggining

This blog was created for a project in my English and Health classes. What we're doing is a project called 20 Time, where 20% of your time in class goes toward working toward a passion of yours. I have possibly made my final decision about my 20 Time and it will be DIY Crafts and Baking. I have always have had a great amount of creativity when it comes to being in hands-on experiences, I believe this project will be great for me to finally fufil my passion of baking and doing crafts with the supplies inherited from grandmothers. I hope you all enjoy this blog! :)
