How to make labels - Tutorial

You will need Freezer paper.
Also scissors, paper, and white fabric and an iron.


Cut out a piece of freezer paper the size of the paper. take your iron and iron the freezer paper to the fabric.
Figure out what you want printed out. here is my logo for my side labels

I take out all the paper in my printer and put the ironed freezer paper, and fabric in the printer. Print it off!
Now you printed on fabric!! Yay!

Iron on the printed paper to seal the ink.



Then take off the fabric from the freezer paper!


Cut it up!

and now you have your labels... you can use this method for many different ways. you can print off some coloring pages for your child, and let them color on it. or like a picture!

I hope you like, and understood everything.. Its pretty simple, and so useful!

Homemade Moon Sand!

I love doing crafts with my daughter! This craft was super easy to make and Arianna is having a blast with it. I have bought actual moon sand for her, and it was a complete mess and i ended up sweeping it all up and trashing it.
Recipe:
8 cups flour
1 cup of baby oil

yupp that's it! I split the recipe in half. and Ari loves it! It kept her busy so i could catch up on some sewing! 


Hope you enjoy!

Labels! and a Tutorial!

Hello!
I still do not have my sewing machine. I'm so sad! but I need something to do! I cant just sit around and do nothing lol ha-ha but my two year old does keep me busy, but in the down time I love to do stuff… I was looking at a website for labels… to buy them and they cost 25 dollars for 25 of them… so a dollar a piece plus shipping and handling which was 5 dollars… so total 30 dollars!
ok so I was bored and starting look up how to use the  iron on paper that I heard works… so I looked up how much that cost and it was 8 dollars for 5 sheets of paper. ok not to bad… then I found a webpage or like a comment (I really don’t remember what page) that said print right on the fabric using an ink jet printer with freezer paper… by the time I found this out. my hubby already went to work and so I didn’t have the car…. ugh! right? so my head went to thinking! I grabbed my tape, a piece of paper, scissors, cotton fabric, and my printer!

so what I did was taped my cotton to a regular piece of paper. but you have to tape it even no wrinkles on the fabric or your wording will be moved! ok next make your logo on your words page… I used a label helper that is already on the words page! then I took out all the paper out of the ink printer and put the piece of paper with cotton.. now hit print!

I was able to make two designs… now for the not fraying part… I'm gona use mod podge… I don’t have any right now since my last project.. so when I buy some, I will just paint it over and cut a little bit of the edges and no fraying!
all I have to do is just add to my purses or all my other stuff!
ha-ha cool right! I'm excited about it! and saving a lot of money doing this process my self!
ok well that’s it for tonight! hope you all had a good day!

Melting Crayons!

                                                                Melting Crayons Tutorial:

My daughter has this thing when she gets new crayons she starts ripping off the paper and breaks them in half! I'm like no! lol so i had a bunch of crayons broken and I'm like i don know what to do! i remember when i was little my daddy took all our crayons one day and melted them down and gave us totally new crayons! so i did a bit of research before i dived in and came up with this !

You need the double boiler method.. water in a pan and then like an old glass cup that you don't want or you don't like!

you also need a mold! and some old crayons!!
i used a toy mold from my daughter!

let the water simmer and put the crayons in!


the crayons are already melting!

see all melted! hurry before it starts getting hard again! Don't touch the glass with your hands ! its super hot! i just used my husbands tool!


and pour it into your mold!

wait a little, let it harden a little on the top before you put it in the freezer! i put it in there for five minutes!

and see you get your pretty crayon!

here is my tester! she loves it! and she cant break it! yay! lol

and i went a head and did some more!

look at the mess!! lol

here are the crayons i made!!

hope you enjoyed the tutorial!

Homemade Exfoliation Tutorial!

Tutorial:
So i love everything handmade! and i like to know whats in the things i buy! this exfoliation is very simple with only three ingredients! but its very effective! my husbands loves it shhhh don't tell him i told you! :) but anyway! i use it once a week... i read somewhere before if you exfoliate to much you will start taking away the live cells on your skin... and when you exfoliate you only want to take off the dead skin cells... makes sense right!
so here we go:



ingredients:
- sugar
- vegetable or olive oil
(preferably olive oil but this is what i had on hand)
- baking soda

put them all together... I'm not a big measurement person so i just put in enough to make me and my husband some! then you put it on your face... the sugar is going to scratch a little but don worry.. i think it feels good... keep rubbing all over your face! and rinse off with some warm water! and your all done!
simple but effective!

thanks for reading!
hope you all enjoy it!
God Bless
