Creative projects and experiments

A couple weeks ago I took in a dress for the first time. I bought an XXL for because I liked it, it was $5 - $6, and I wanted to experiment with it. I didn't cut the seams open and no one pinned it while it was on me. I just measured, pinned, and sewed.










I made this 5-strand braided bracelet with embroidery thread(?) using this tutorial.


(Sorry for the blur.) Turned this ugly old necklace into....

....3 bracelets. Green & purple, orange, and yellow. (They're together for the sake of a picture.)


Made this...butterfly food....using these instructions. I didn't see a single butterfly, it hardened, and there were a couple of dead bugs in it. Mer. This picture was taken after it was outside in the sun for a couple days.



Made this headband using this 5-strand braid tutorial and using step 4 of this tutorial.



Don't try conditioning your hair with coffee. It is an acid (for those of you who use a base for your shampoo), and it may smell amazing, but coffee is filled with oils and will leave a gross film on your hair.

Do try brushing your teeth with a coconut oil and peppermint essential oil mixture.


So many more fun ideas swirling through this mind!
