Diy window/mirror clings!

Windows clings! So simple little kids could do this as a fun craft.
Supplies:
1 tube of demensional fabric paint
Ziploc bag
Snowflakes to trace (optional)

Step 1- decide what snowflake you want and print it off and put the Ziploc bag over it

Step 2: apply a generous amount of the paint on the Ziploc bag

Step 3- let them dry. The thicker they are, the longer it takes, but if they are too thin they'll break. Mine took around 7 hours to dry..

Step 4- this Step is a little messy.. you have to carefully Peel them off and don't let the ends stick to each other

Step 5- apply to a window or mirror and enjoy. :)

Holiday Snack

Sausage Balls!

Every year around Thanksgiving and Christmas, my mom always fixed sausage balls! This is one of the easiest snacks to make, only requiring 4 ingredients!

Ingredients:
1lb of Sausage
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
2-3 cups of Busquick
tablespoon of water

Step 1: Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees 

Step 2: Take a cookie pan and spray a little bit spam on it 

Step 3: Take all your ingredients and mix them into a big bowl. 

Step 4: You want to add a little bit of water to the mix, but not too much. 

Step 5: Mix all the ingredients until all the ingredients are nice and compact

Step 6: Take out little sections at a time, and ball them up and put them on the cookie sheet, and do this until all the ingredients are gone

Step 7: Place them in the oven for 20 minutes, and i suggest checking them at 10 minutes and maybe turning the cookie sheet

Step 8: Take them out of the oven and right away get them off the cookie sheet so they dont burn. 

Step 9: Enjoy! 

Coffee Sharpie Cup

Coffee Sharpie Cup

Supplies:

White coffee cup

sharpies EDIT** The lighter colors wash off.. use only black. 

oven

Step 1: Before you begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees!

Step 2: Decorate your cup however you want! And then put it in the oven for 30 minutes. When the 30 minutes is up, open the oven door but leave the cups in there, because you dont want to accidentally smudge the sharpie! Once you think its nice and cool, you can take them out. 

(I recommend hand washing this cup, because well, you never know)

Enjoy!
EDIT** When I made this, the only color that stayed on was the blue, and the brown turned into pink.. I suggest only using black..

Elmer's glue

a ton of buttons

scrapbook paper

Step  1: Find a piece of scrapbook paper and place it inside the frame

Step 2: Organize the buttons on the OUTSIDE of the glass.

Step 3: You will then glue them on one by one until you are done. 

Super fun and simple!

Curly Coils

If you want to curl your hair but don't want to use heat on it, this is the perfect way to get natural curls without damaging your hair!!

Time:
10 minutes before bed, 10 minutes in the morning


Supplies:
hair
bobby pins

Step 1: With very lightly damp hair, you will take a piece of hair and begin twisting it. Make sure the piece is the same size throughout. The more hair in the twist means bigger curls. Less hair means smaller curls. Take your pick. 

Step 2: You will then wrap it around and around  until it is like the picture below.
Step 3: Take a bobby pin and pin the remaining little hair. The more bobby pins, the more secure. You  DON'T want it to fall out in your sleep!

Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 across your whole head!

In the morning, you will remove all the bobby pins and run your fingers through your hair to separate all of the curls. It will be big and poofy at first, but after a while it tones down. Unless you want it poofy, then hair spray it right away. 

If one of the coils came out over night, curl that hair with a curling iron and run your fingers through that to make it look like the rest of your hair. 

If you have any questions, just comment! 

Thanks for reading!

Sockbun

This post is all about the sockbun! Im going to show you how simple it really is!

Duration:
1-5 minutes

Supplies:
Long hair
sock
scissors

Step 1: Youre going to get a sock you dont mind cutting up.  The longer and thicker the hair, the longer the sock. I  used a toe sock and you just cut out the toe spot.

Step 2: Put your hair in a pony tail and that determines where the bun will be. you can put it on the back of your head if you choose, but I like mine at the top of my head. 

Step 3: Start at the bottom of the pony tail and put some of the hair in it and just roll it and make sure your hair is covering the sock completely.

Step 4: Tuck in any loose looking hairs and you're done!

(If you want, you can do this when your hair is slightly wet and sleep on it and it should make your hair curly)

For those of you who dont do well with just directions, I made a short video that shows a how-to as well!
Comment with any questions! Enjoy!
