DIY Puffy Paint Bracelets

bracelets
Add some color to your life by trying out these puffy paint bracelets! It's super easy to make plus the materials are easy to find! You might even have them at home already.

Here's how to make them!

Materials You Need:
Multiple colors of puffy paint, string, ziplock (you can put paper inside for stability), toothpick and scissors

Option 1: Straight Lines

Step 1:
Draw a line and make it as straight as possible using a light-colored puffy paint. Make sure to place the line relatively in the middle so that you'll have space on both sides for the string and extra paint.

Step 2: 
Place the string on the line.


Step 3:
Choose 2 or more colors then just draw vertical lines continuously in alternating colors. 



Step 4: 
Once you're done, clean any smears or imperfections in your work using a toothpick.


Step 5: 
Drag your toothpick on both sides from top to bottom.


Step 6: 
You're done! All you have to do is to let it dry for 24-48 hours untouched, and you can start wearing it.



Option 2: Circles 

Do Steps 1&2 

Step 3:
Pick out at least three colors and bear in mind that one of them will be used for the interlocking hearts and not the circles. After this start drawing the circles.

Step 4: 
Clean any imperfections with the bracelet. Don't worry about there being a lot of mistakes because you can always fix them since the paint takes quite a long time to dry. 




Step 5:
Use the last color of puffy paint and draw smaller dots on top of every circle.

Step 6: 
Drag your toothpick down the middle of the bracelet, through the lines that the dots make. If there are any more imperfections just keep on fixing them with the toothpick, but don't forget to make sure that you take away any remaining paint on the toothpick so that you don't make a mess. 


Step 7: 
You're done! Don't forget to let it dry for 24-48 hours before using it.

DIY Shirt #2

black
Just as I promised, here is my second shirt DIY for the day! I used a normal green shirt then designed it to be somewhat ragged but still unique. 

This design can be paired up with your favorite shorts and is a great way to turn your unwanted tshirts into something fun! 

You can even wear this in parties just like what Kimi did before! 


Because I found this really cool, I'll show you the step by step tutorial below! 

Step 1: Cut a small part of the sleeves.


Step 2: Rip out the remaining sleeves. 


Step 3: Measure how long you want the strips to be then fold it. 



The Christmas Series: A Stitch In Time Saves Nine

A stitch in time saves nine
'A stitch in time saves nine' means that if we fix a problem while it is not yet big, we could stop that problem from getting bigger and harder to solve.

Although a lot of people hate problems, I actually appreciate and am thankful for the small ones that can be solved easily. This is because they show us the simplicity of life and how we are in control of it for most of the time. It also shows us that we can always do something to make a situation better so we should never feel useless and/or hopeless. 


I admit that sometimes, when life seems to become too hard for me to go on, I start wishing for a life with no problems. I imagine a place where it doesn't rain but is never too hot - a place where everything you need and want is already there. It always seems appealing to me but when I start thinking about staying in a place like that for the rest of my life, I get bored and hope that it never happens. Can you imagine a place where there are no problems, big or small? Sure, it'll sound nice at first but after a while it just gets boring, doesn't it?
