How to do the Pyramid Ponytail

My dad sort of invented this hairstyle! He had been talking about taking my sisters’ hair, and putting it in a bunch of ponytails and then using a ponytail to hook those ponytails together. So I took this idea, modified it a little bit, and thus the pyramid ponytail was born!

Supplies:

7 ponytails (whatever colors you like!)

A brush/comb

Directions:

1. Brush hair thoroughly (if you want, you can create a middle part for the hair, which makes it look nicer, but you can also just leave the part ;))

2. Divide the hair into 4 sections and ponytail them off

3. Take the 2 ponytails on the left and connect them with another ponytail, and then take the 2 on the right and connect those 2 with a ponytail

4. Now connect the one on the left with the one on the right

5. Now you can braid the extra hair below the ponytails or leave it as it is 

Note: the braid needs 1 extra ponytail.

6. You’re done!

T.P. Roll Hearts

 

This craft is insanely easy, and takes under 5 minutes! These can be a perfect simple decoration to a desk, a shelf, or anywhere! You can customize the color (by covering them with paper or painting them), and they are so simple!

Supplies:

Scissors

A toilet paper roll

Paper/painting them (only if you want it; I kept mine the same)

Directions:

1. Cut your toilet paper roll into parts (around one inch long)

Note: if you wish to cover your heart in paper or paint, you can do that now :)

2. Cut a slit in the top of one of the parts

3. Now fold into this shape (really squish it down if necessary ;P)

4. Now kind of release it, so it can unfold itself, and you should get a shape like this:

5. Now you can bend it into more of a heart shape if you like!

6. And you are done!

Paper Flowers

 

These paper flowers are so simple to make and can be the perfect thing to touch up a bedroom! You can make them in any size, and color that you want! 

Supplies:

Scissors

Paper in any color (or colors) you like (I used dark pink and light pink)

Paper for the middle of the flower (I used the classic, yellow)

A glue stick

Directions:

 

1. Cute out 6 or 7 (or as many as you like) large lightbulb shapes (this is going to be for the base/bottom of the flower)

2. Glue them together as seen below

3. Keep gluing all of the lightbulb shapes together until you have a flower shape (if you have to make more lightbulb shapes that’s fine ;))

 

4. Now cut out 5 or 6 (or as many as you like) smaller lightbulb shapes (I used a different color for this part of the flower, but you can also us the same color you used before)

5. Glue them onto the flower, just like you did before

6. Cut out a yellow (or whatever color you want to use) circle, and glue it onto the middle of the flower

7. And you’re done! Make as many as you like! And I hope you enjoyed this!

T.P. Roll Christmas Cookies

 

This is a great craft. If you can’t decorate real cookies, you can decorate these fake ones, and put them in your house! You only need a few supplies, and they are so simple to make! These fit the holiday just right, and are so fun! I did these with my sisters; first I had them choose a color and shape for their cookie. And then I gave them the shape, and cut out a shape of it in the paper color they chose. Then I let them glue them on and add decorations!

Supplies:

A pencil

Paper in the colors you will use

A toilet paper roll

Glue

Scissors

Directions:

1. First, flatten your T.P. Roll, and cut it so that it isn’t a roll and is just a rectangle

2. Then, cut out the shape of the cookie (after tracing it out) and cut it out

3. Now you can cut out paper that is also that shape, and add decorations! I made my decorations by using design hole punchers (if that’s what they’re called ;P), and I also cut out some other shapes.

4. Now you’re done! I hope you enjoyed this!

DIY Faux Christmas Light Garland

 

First things first, faux means fake, in case you were wondering ;)

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s time to break out the Christmas decoration! This is a great Christmas decoration! It looks like a Christmas light garland (especially when you have more lights on it than I do XD) and requires very few materials!

Supplies:

String (you could also use embroidery floss. I don’t recommend yarn though, it is really hard to pull through a thick amount of paper)

Paper (I chose yellow, but you could also use green, or red, or whatever you want!)

A glue stick

A needle

Scissors

Directions:

1. First, cut little strips of paper out of the paper you chose

2. Now roll one of the strips into a light-bulb-ish shape!

3. Now glue the little flap you have, and press it onto the circle, so that it doesn’t unravel

4. Now press it for a a bit. Once the glue is fully secure, you can puff the little “Bulb” a little!

5. Now do this for all the other strips

6. Then you are going to use the needle to thread the “Bulbs” onto the string

7. Now you are done! You can hang it up now, and do whatever you like! 

Happy holidays!

Things to do in Fall

 

Fall is a wonderful time. All of the leaves are changing from green, to beautiful reds and yellows. The temperature is also changing, we have moved from rainy days, to the cold and windy ones. And sometimes, we need things to do! So here is a list of things to do, in Fall.

Do a puzzle with all of your family members

This is a great way to bond with your family members, and pass some time! You can also probably easily find some nice Fall related ones! 

Cozy up with some tea and read a book

Tea and a book… ahh. Whether it is Fall or Winter, this is a great thing to do! It is relaxing, and enjoyable for those of you that are book-worms ;). 

Take a walk in the beautiful nature that surrounds you

Nature, in Fall, is beautiful. All of the plants are changing colors, leaves are on the ground, and cool breezes blow through the wind. It will be decently cold though, so bundle up!

Collect leaves

While you are out on a walk, there are millions of leaves this time of year. And they are all different shapes, sizes, and colors. Imagine having a jar full of them in your house! Of course, you don’t want to keep them in that jar forever… but you don’t have to think about that for now. What you will need for this is only a mason jar, and some leaves that you can find outside in the beautiful backyard that is nature.

Decorate for Fall

What better way to celebrate the changing of a season than to decorate for it? You can make leaves, garlands, pumpkins, anything you like! Fall colors would be red, yellow, orange, and maybe even green. This is a fun project, and it spices up your house for the season!

Paint a pumpkin

Painting a pumpkin is very enjoyable. You can express your creativity with paint, and let your hand roam free with the brush! Then, you can display your works, in your house, on a table, desk, or whatever you want!

That’s all for now! Have a great Fall!

T.P. Roll Pumpkins

 

It is now October! The season where it really starts to feel like Fall. So why not decorate for Fall? These T.P. Roll Pumpkins are easy to make, and don’t take a lot of supplies! Let’s get to it!

Supplies:

A toilet paper roll

Orange paper (you can also use orange paint, but I didn’t have any ;P)

Green paper

Glue

Scissors

A pencil

Directions:

1. Cut your T.P. Roll into individual circles, you can probably make around 4 of these (meaning 2 pumpkins)

2. Now you are going to glue orange paper onto them (or paint them orange)

3. Now you are going to place 1 of those mini rolls into another like this picture shows:

4. Now you can glue a green paper stem on top!

5. And you are done! I hope you enjoyed this, and happy Fall!
