DIY Knitting Needles

I recently learned how to finger knit. I wanted to use regular needles, but it snowed where I live and we couldn't really leave the house. So being home from school, without hot glue and thread (ran out lol) I made my own knitting needles. Sadly, my pictures refuse to upload :( here is a link for the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkHHdoj4Tw4&feature=youtu.be

Materials

• Wooden Dowels
• Pencil Sharpener
• Knife*
• Clay
• Paint (optional)

*always have adult supervision when dealing with hot or sharp objects

Step 1

Take a wooden dowel into the same kind of point as a dull pencil. you can use the pencil sharpener or the knife for this step. Make sure one is sharper than the other (NOT SUPER SHARP. Just as sharp as a gently used pencil lol)

Step 2

Make two clay balls for the end of the needle. 

Step 3

Wait until clay is slightly dried to where you can push the sharper needle end without the clay changing shape.

You're done! Enjoy your new knitting needles!

Popsicle Stick Coasters

Easy DIY Popsicle Stick Coasters

          I know this is going up on Sunday instead of Saturday. Yesterday was a weird day and I did not get a chance to post anything. Sorry about that. So today I am doing a tutorial on how to make popsicle stick coasters without glue or anything other than popsicle sticks. Hope you enjoy! :)

Supplies

Jumbo Popsicle Sticks

Step 1

Gather 9 popsicle sticks and put them on a surface like a bed or a carpet. The sponginess will make it easier to weave the popsicle sticks. Then lay out three of them.

Step 2

Weave one popsicle stick through the middle of the three. It will help with adding the other ones later, then add the rest.

Step 3

Continue weaving until you have used six more popsicle sticks. Then you are finished :)

DIY Lipbalm

How to Make Your Own Lip-Balm

          I recently found out that you could make lipstick out of beeswax and crayons. But, the majority of kids I know can't wear lipstick or other makeup. So, I came up with my own recipe to make scented, but not colored, lip balm.

Materials

• Small Microwave-Safe Bowl
• Some Kind of Container (I used a clear plastic container I got on Amazon a while back)
• Coconut Oil
• Beeswax (I used part of an old candle)
• Vanilla Extract for Scent

Steps

• Add about the same amount of beeswax and coconut oil. If you want it to be more dense, add less oil. 
• Microwave until you can stir the beeswax and coconut oil. The beeswax does not have to be melted all the way. Make sure when you but the beeswax into the bowl that it isn't all in one big ball so it can melt better

.

• Remove from the microwave and stir.
• Add one drop of vanilla extract and put into the container. 
• I put mine into the fridge for about 15 minutes.

You're finished! enjoy your home-made lip balm. :)

DIY Headband

How to Make a Headband

Easy

          Here is how to make a super simple headband. Mine took me about ten minutes the second time. 

• The first thing you want to do is measure the size of your head. If you're using stretch fabric (recommended) then measure about an inch less than your head.

• Cut the fabric out and make it double the width you want it, as you will fold it in half later.
• Fold the fabric in half long ways. Line it up as best as you can. It doesn't matter if the cuts aren't very neat. You can just sew in front of them like I did.

• Cut off any excess fabric, but don't cut too close to the thread.
• Turn the fabric tube inside out so the seam is on the inside.
• Press the fabric so the seam is on the edge and not the middle.

• Sew the two ends together about a centimeter away from the end, like pictured below.

• After sewing, fold the extra centimeter of fabric over the thread, like pictured.

• Once this is done, add whatever decorations you want, and you're done!
