Elvish hairstyle!

Well, having recently watched The Desolation of Smaug", I came up with a hairstyle that looks like the Lady Elf's. I did not read this, I did not see this on Pintrest, I did this from my own head, so it didn't turn out as well. But still, it looks pretty close. I started with:

6 ponytail holders

hair clips (optinal, do not recommend these with thick hair)


See? Very simple supplies. No reson NOT to try it, right?

Start with brushing the hair you are working with. This does NOT work well with tangled hair. Then, separate the side hair from the back hair. Separate the side hair into 3 sections. Leave the front section alone, this will hang in front. Braid the second section.

Braid the third section.

Do the same on the other side.

Then, take the two front braids and pull them behind the head, using a ponytail holder to hold them togethe and pull the ponytail holders from the bottom of the braids.

Unbraid the extra braids and smooth them into the back part of the hair.

Take the third braids and do the same thing as with the braids before, only pull them together lower. The finished project should look like this.

Thank you, Mom, for letting me do this. Thank you for reading and attempting this style. I know you were probably gritting your teeth in frustration at some point, but its worth it, anyway, isn't it? Enjoy!

Easter Cards!

Just in time for easter, I got the perfect idea for easter cards. Using:

Tissue paper

Glue

Googly eyes (optional)

Paper

Drawing utensils ( I used markers and crayons)


I folded a full piece of paper in half, hamburger style. Then, I cut tissue paper into strips and glued them on the front. On some, I glued the top of the egg down beside the egg, and drew a chick popping out, adding googly eyes for eyes.

. Inside, I wrote a message. I wrote "He is Risen! He is risen Indeed!" and " Happy Easter! He is Risen!" but you can choose your own message.

So, pretty simple supplies, pretty quick, cute Easter cards. Enjoy! Happy Easter!
