michael ann made.: woven friendship bracelet tutorial i love the summer friendship bracelet trend that i keep seeing in blog land, so i thought it would be fun to share with you another way to weave a friendship bracelet. one of the parents at work showed me this technique of using a circular cardboard loom and i love how quick it goes, you can easily finish a bracelet in one sitting. - cardboard - something small and circular (like a teacup or ramekin) - scissors, ruler, pen - embroidery thread in pretty colors , thin yarn, or ribbon trace a circle onto your cardboard, and use a ruler to draw 8 lines cut a small ways into each line, between 1/2 an inch to an inch and make a hole in the middle of the circle where all the lines intersect. cut 7 strands of embroidery floss, about 24 inches long and tie them together with a slip knot. pull your thread bundle through the hole in your cardboard with the knot right up next to the hole and use a little piece of tape to hold it in place while you start.

DIY Homemade Oil Absorbing Sheets #Beauty Oil absorbing sheets (or oil blotting sheets) are a useful beauty product that can keep you looking polished and pretty all day long (especially during those hot summer months) by removing excess oil from your face without ruining or removing your makeup, so we love them.

We decided to learn to make them ourselves (and share the super simple beauty tutorial with you)…we can all be pretty and save money together! What you need: * Either rice paper or tissue paper (the type used in gift boxes and bags) * Scissors * Small container (that fits in your cosmetic bag) For this beauty tutorial, I used tissue paper from Victoria’s Secret- I just find the pink stripes so pretty- but any tissue paper or rice paper works great for absorbing facial oil well without ruining makeup.
