I Made Another T-Shirt Scarf

Today, I made another t-shirt scarf.
I found the idea on the web, but I kinda made it my own.
It's a lot like the green with envy scarf I made.

Materials:
T-shirt (or multiple if you want yours colorful)
Scissors

Step 1:
Cut off hem

Step 2:
Cut your shirt into about 1'' horizontal strips

Step 3:
Stretch out your new made rings.

Step 4:
Wrap each ring around your hand, making smaller rings.
I looped mine about 4 times.
This is a preference on how you want these.
Also, how big your t-shirt stretched.


Step 5:
Cut out about 2-3'' strips from unused fabric on shirt.
Stretch them.
Use them to tie your newly made rings together.




Done!




Also, I made a bracelet.

What You need:
t-shirt scraps,
colorful hemp.(walmart)

I made a Shirt Cuff Bracelet

So, yesterday I made my Painting Shirt.
Today, I had the bottom of the sleeves that I had cut off.
I had to do somethin' with em.
I made me some bracelets.
I think they turned out cute, and I got a couple compliments already. :)

What You Need:
A shirt cuff, from a dress shirt. duh.
Scissors or rotary blade.
Needle&thread or Sewing Machine.
Glue.


Step 1:
Cut cuff off.
cut to width that you would like.
I like mine about an 1/2''-1''


Step 2:
This part depends on how loose/tight you want your bracelet.
I put mine on my wrist, then I marked how tight I wanted it.
Then I sewed it so that it fit on my wrist nicely.

Step 3:
Glue sides and ends to prevent fraying.

All Done!

I made Brownookies!

I invented a monster of sorts.
This is a delicious monster.
It is the ultimate dessert of desserts.
It is a brownookie.
By the way, my housemates liked it, and the boys loved it.

Ingredients:
Cookie Mix
Brownie Mix
Cupcake Pan

Step 1:
Make the batter/dough according to the Box.
Heat oven to 325 degrees



Step 2:
For cuter Brownookies: fill the bottom with brownie batter, then put cookie dough on top.
For uglier more chocolatey Brownookies: layer brownie, cookie, brownie.



Step 3:
Bake for 15 minutes.

Step 4:
This is crucial. Make sure you let cool off all the way,
 or else they are super crumbly coming out of the pan.


Step 5:
Enjoy your Frankenstein dessert! Ice cream would be way good with it too.
It's pretty rich.
I had help from my Bestie Dain



Monochromatic Nails


Today I did my nails in a monochromatic way. 

What You Need:
cue-tips
4 colors nail-polish, that have 4 different shades.
1 top coat, I used a sparkle one.


Step 1:
Paint your nail with the lightest color, I did about 3 coats.

Step 2:
Dip a cue-tip into the second lightest color, and sponge on the polish starting at the tip.

Repeat:
Sponge on the darker, and then darker color.




Finally:
Do your top coat, mine is pinky, so it helped tie all the colors together.

Done! Enjoy You're Beautiful Nails!
