Hey guys! I just wanted to say that the Valentine Heart could also really give you some nice curls if you wore it overnight. Now I haven't tried it but I think it might just work. Here's what the Valentine Heart looks like when it's completed.

Hey guys! :) Sorry about me not posting that much on this blog. :( I've just been so busy with school and stuff. But I'm on now posting a hair tutorial so yeah. I call this a valentine heart. If your interested in this diy then keep reading!  :)

I just had to say that my cat is now 4 years old!

Ok now back to the hair.

  Now the requirements is that your hair (or the person who's hair you are doing) has to be about shoulder length. You will also need is: hair pieces, a hair brush, and bobby pins.
1. First make sure your hair is tangle free. You don't want your hair to be pulled out when you do your high ponytail. Speaking of high ponytails that's the next step! :)

2. Now create a high really high ponytail.(Sorry but you will need a higher ponytail then this one above. Try to make it more on top of the head. The image down below shows a little better)

3. Next split the high ponytail into two sections.

4.Then, braid the two sections. (This step is optional. If you want you could just leave it like step 3. But I find that it is easier to braid it.)

5. Now, bobby pin them down so the ends are pinned and won't get loose.

 And your done! I really hope that this was useful! =D

Halloween Craft - Recycled Newspaper Bag Jack O' Lanterns

I love, love to recycle.  That's why I made these silly pumpkins. 

They are really easy to make.  All you do is save your orange plastic bags that the newspaper comes in.  Then you can either rake up leaves and stuff them into the bags, or crumple up newspaper and stuff that into the bags.  Then you tie them off so they're kind of shaped like a circle, and draw jack o' lantern faces on them with a black marker. 

You can put them in a cute pile in your yard or on your porch, or you can hang them in your house, or really do whatever you want with them!

Halloween Craft: Paper Bats

I made this craft at school:

It's really easy to make.  Just use the pattern below to start.  The pattern should fit on a normal sized piece of paper.  If you have thicker paper, it's probably best, but any kind will work.

You don't even have to use that exact pattern.  You can just use it for an idea if you want.  Anyway, you color it and cut it out.  The top part with the bat head you roll into a cylinder and glue it together.  The wings you glue onto the back of the cylinder to attach them.  It's a little bat decoration! 

Halloween Craft Ideas

Hello everyone!  Wow, I've been so busy with school that I haven't posted much.  Sorry about that!  With Halloween coming up, I thought it might be fun to share some Halloween craft ideas. I will be posting a few each chance I get.  I hope you enjoy them!

Glow Jars

My mom saw this idea on a blog and she showed it to me, and I loved it!  These are really easy and fun to make.

Go to the dollar store and get a package of glow sticks.  Get a few glass jars from around your house.  Take one glow stick and cut it open.  Pour all of the liquid from the stick into the jar.  Put the lid on the jar and shake it all around.  The jar will glow in the dark!  I couldn't get a very good picture, but hopefully you get the idea.

You can see the full instructions and pictures HERE.

Easy Peasy Pillows

Hey everyone!  Sorry that it's been a long time since I posted.  I've been busy with the summer, playing with my cousins that had been gone for 5 years, and they finally moved back.  I was just having some fun with my cousins because I haven't seen them in a really long time.

Today's craft is easy peasy pillows for your doll.  First, make sure you have these ingredients:

I forgot to put the cotton in the picture...you always need cotton to make pillows!

Now, the reason I have glitter on there is because you can use glitter to decorate, but I'm not going to use it this time.


     1. Cut out two circle, square or triangle (any shape you want) pieces from the fabric.  Make them about the same size.

     2. Next, you put the cotton on top of one of the squares.  Don't make it too big, or it will be harder to sew!

     3. Put the second piece on top, like a sandwich.  Then find a color of thread that you like, then sew it together.  You can do any kind of sewing pattern you want.

     4. Keep on sewing until you reach the place you started.  You can have an adult help you with the sewing!  Now you have completed it once you have tied a knot for where you ended and started the sewing!

My doll loves her new pillow!  (Even if you don't have a doll, you can still make this just for fun.  Because crafts are mostly about having fun making things.)

You can decorate it with anything you want.  Glitter, markers, fabric paints, stickers, anything that your parents will let you use! 

Have fun making this!

Easy Peanut Butter Easter Eggs

This is Munchkin's mom.  I wanted to make some peanut butter eggs, but I wanted it to be an easy, quick recipe that the kids could help with.  So I took a really delicious, fancy-looking recipe, and simplified it a TON:

Mix together equal parts peanut butter and powdered sugar.  Take the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls, then lay them on wax paper and put them in the freezer for 30 minutes.

When it's about time to take that peanut butter out of the freezer, mix some semi-sweet chocolate chips with a teeny bit of shortening, and microwave to melt.  (When you microwave, only cook it in 30 second intervals and stir to avoid burning).  When it's melted, dip and coat the peanut butter balls, and if desired, sprinkle with candy sprinkles.  

Stick them in the fridge until you're ready to serve!

A Present for the Easter Bunny

I wanted the Easter Bunny to bring us a little something extra.  I hope that this Easter Bunny has some animal friends that may like bird seed.  I think that the Easter Bunny will take this as a deal:

I'm gonna fill the bottles with bird seed so the Easter Bunny can take the sign and show his friends and share the bird seed.  If you don't have bird seed, you can use any kind of food.  But don't use human food cause it won't fit in the containers.  

Since it's Earth Day today, I decided to reuse some plastic containers so I won't throw them away.  

I started by making the sign.  I wrote kind of block words so he could read it a little bit better.  

I colored it in so it would be nice in a spring kind of a way!  Then I taped it to the bottles so it would be kind of a sign and it also has food!  I think that this will be a good craft because it's Earth Day and then it won't liter.  Plus it's good for Easter in 2 days!

Bunny Mask

Today I would like to show you a craft I made 2 days ago.

You may think it is very difficult, but it's really easy.
First off, this is most of what you'll need:

• Scissors
• String
• Foam papers
• Foam shape stickers
• Markers
• Glitter Glue
• Pipe Cleaner
• Hole puncher

 Draw a circle on the foam paper which will be the um, structure for the little bunny face.

 Cut it out so it will be shaped as a bunny nose.  Look at my cute kitty's foot in the picture!

Use the hole punch to punch holes in the bunny nose so you can put some pipe cleaner in the six holes.  Put string in the bigger two holes.

 Add the pipe cleaner in the six little holes.  Those will be the whiskers.

Decorate with all the other stuff to make the cutest bunny you'll ever see!

Just so you know, I accidentally made the string too small so make the string bigger so it fits like a necklace on you and then lift it up on your head so it's like a bunny nose. 
You can use any kind of paper if you don't have the foam kind.

The Spectacular, Wonderful Hair Dos!

Hello everybody! Today we are doing Half Piggy tail and I done this by my self and this is going to be fun. So lets go!!!

1. make two piggy tails with the hair.

2. then leave1 half of each piggy tail and turn them into a pony tail.

Voila!  I told you it wasn't hard!

This one is trickier to explain.  Here are the steps though.  If you misunderstand it, just tell me on my website place.

1. Take two pieces from the front and make piggy tails with them.  Turn the bottoms into into one big ponytail in the middle of the back of your head.  

2. I grabbed more hair and the ponytail and put it into two piggy tails (The piggy tails are in the blue hair pieces.)  

3. Grab the two piggy tails and put it in a ponytail, and then spread it out and then you have it!

Woo!  I'm glad I explained it good enough!

Remember, you guys can type good compliments about my crafts and about my hair dos.  I'll post some more on here next week.  Bye!

Bead necklaces and bracelets

I would like to show you how to make bead necklaces.  I am making them for my mom for her Mary Kay customers.  Here's how to do it.

First, you need to have different colors of beads and necklace string.  I use this stretchy string my mom got from Oriental Trading.

You can use pipe cleaners, foam papers, and other stuff if you want to, but you don't have to.  Also make sure you have scissors.

Measure your string out to make sure it's long enough.  Then cut it to length.  Put the piece you want in the middle on first, and center it on the string.  Then put whatever other beads and stuff you want on the rest.  I cut out a circle from a soda bottle and painted it purple, and used that for my center piece.  My mom cut out a red foam heart.  When you are finished, just tie the string!

Here are two necklaces and one bracelet that my mommy and I made.  They were really easy!

mother's day card

I made this card for my mom.  You can make this card for anyone!

First, get tape, glue, glitter, yarn, and construction paper.  Fold your piece of paper in half.

Cut the yarn into 1-2 inch long pieces.

Tape the yarn pieces along the edge of the paper.  (The unfolded edge).  This gives the card a little extra something special!

Spread glue all around.  You can do it in a design, or just random, like this.

Sprinkle with glitter, and shake off the extra.  Now you've got a great decorated card for someone!

The Love Bugs

I love the Love Bugs. They came to my house. I like the love bugs.I really really really like them.So I made them a house.



*(I was so impressed to wake up from a nap to see that Munchkin had made the place all by herself!!)



( I especially loved how she decorated the wall of the baby's room, and the homemade broom she made!)

Here Comes the Penguin...I Mean Bride!

Munchkin made 2 penguins at school...one she brought home before Christmas break, the other she brought home 3 days ago. What better way to bring those sweet penguins together than to marry them? She fashioned the "dress and veil" for the blushing bride, and I thought it was quite crafty:
