Body Scrubs

These body scrubs were so easy and fun to make. So fun even my hubby helped me. HA. Since I decided to make everyone something for Christmas this year, I decided to make all the women these scrubs. I also made them lotions, soaps, and bath salts (will post pics later on). Here is what you need: 8-10 oz. jar, labels (I made mine from Avery and they were simple, I put them on the top of the jars, and forgot to take pics of them), essential oil of your choice (I used about 15-20 drops, but you could use more or less, its up to you), 3 cups sugar, 1 cup olive oil (I used Extra Light Olive Oil), and soap coloring (found mine at Michael's). Combine sugar, oil, scents, and coloring in a bowl, mix well and add to your jar(s). There you have it. Simple and easy to create.

Pine Cone Vase

I'm not gonna lie and say this vase was easy to make. This vase took me like three days to make, literally. But, I think it was well worth the tired and cut up finger tips, as it turned out so beautiful to me. So, I had some left over pine cones from last Christmas that my dear husband had asked what I was going to do with. I told him that I was not going to use them for anything and to just throw them in the fire. But, after looking at the fall vase that I had made that looked rather bare to me, I decided to take everything off of it and use the pine cones to my advantage. So, I took all the stuff off the fall vase and decided to get to work cutting, tearing, and breaking all the pieces off of the pine cones, piece-by-piece. Crazy Right! Then, I got the hot glue gun out and started placing them on the vase and doing as much as I could during nap time and at night. Once the vase was completely covered, I sprayed a clear gloss over it to give a little more detail. Here is the finished product.

Headbands

This Christmas I decided to make gifts for everyone. These headbands and bracelets were so fun to make for my niece. Each headband, except for the two Christmas ones have matching bracelets to go with them. I found these ruffle bracelets were so cute from Craft Snob so these are the bracelets that I ended up making for my niece to go with her headbands.
