Homemade Baby Wipes/ Makeup Remover Cloths!
I got this idea and recipe from another blogger and you can visit her blog {here}! :) 

Supplies:
*Coconut Oil
*Roll of paper towels
*Baby wash (or your favorite wash)
*2 cups warm water

Instructions:

1. Begin by melting 1 cup of warm water and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over low heat.

2. While 1/2 the solution is melting, cut  1/4 of the paper towel roll and remove the bits and pieces of the paper towel.

3. Add a squirt of baby wash, or any wash that you prefer, to 1 cup of warm water.

4. Place the towel section into a container with a leak-proof lid (fuzzy side down) and add both solutions (the coconut oil/water and the baby wash/water). Turn the container upside down for at least 5 minutes.

5. Open the container and take out the cardboard center. Pull paper towel up and place into a pop-up container, or keep it in the one you already used!

The cost breakdown:

Coconut oil- $5.98

Bounty Paper towel- $1.00

Baby wash- $1.00

Total- $7.98

Now, the paper towel roll has 52 sheets to it. Since I divided it into 4 sections, that means I'll have a total of 208 paper towels.

$7.98/208= .04¢ per wipe! You can't beat that :)

The possibilities are ∞ [endless] !

I am so excited to find an alternative to the expensive store bought wipes that sometimes irritate my skin. These wipes can also be used as make-up remover wipes because of the coconut oil! I will update y'all after I use them for a while!

Birdie Button Earrings :)

Birdie Button Earrings

Supplies:

*Plain earring posts and backs

*Bird buttons {can use any buttons}

*E-6000 adhesive

*toothpicks

Instructions

1. Place the buttons on your ear to see where they will fit best. These buttons are larger and I had to fit them just right on my lobes.

2. Place the buttons facing down on a hard surface and apply adhesive to your earring post using a toothpick {or something similar}

3. Adhere the posts on the button where you decided it would look best on your ear. I placed my posts near the bottom so the birds would be right-side up. Let dry for 1 hour.

4. Place the earring backs on the posts and enjoy your new accessory! 

DIY: Flower Hair Clip!

This DIY is very simple and takes only about 30 minutes! 

Supplies needed:

*Plain hair clips

*E-6000 (Industrial Strength Adhesive)

*Silk flowers (paper flowers can be used)

*Brads (Optional)

*Clear nail polish ( I used a high-gloss top coat)

*Toothpicks

*Scrap fabric ( I used black knit fabric)


INSTRUCTIONS


I like these hair clips the best because they are easiest to use and can be used for a lot of different things :)

1. First, cut some scrap fabric to the length of your hair clip. It's okay if its slightly bigger than the clip because you can always trim the excess off later.


2. Using a toothpick, apply the adhesive to the metal hair clip along the top and then lay the fabric over it. Push the fabric slightly to make sure it will adhere.

3. Trim the excess fabric from the clip. *Note: It doesn't have to be perfect; no one is going to see this part.












4. Take your silk flowers and paint them with clear nail polish. You don't have to do this step, but the silk flowers I had were kind of dull. The top coat added a little bit of shine and deepened the color of the flowers.
5. Stack the flowers and add the brad through the center. Coat with nail polish.

Just a light coat will do.

6. Apply more adhesive on the top of the fabric and adhere the flower to the fabric. Apply pressure for 5 to 10 seconds.








Voila!
How you use your new hair accessory is up to you! Use what inspires you! The colors and styles are endless :)


P.S- Here are some other colors :)
*Note: The black and white one is made with an alligator clip.

Everyone has to start somewhere...
