How to Make Bracelets Using Tape Rolls

      The Tools you will need are: Liquid Stitch Fabric Glue, Fabric, Sheers, & Tape Roll. First, find a tape roll that fits your wrist without any tape on it. Make sure the roll is smooth. Bumps will show through fabric. Then cut fabric to size in a long strip measuring top to bottom of the tape roll. Make sure the fabric is long enough to fold inside of the tape roll as well. Then cut a separate piece of fabric to fit the inside of the tape roll. This covers the seam when you fold in the fabric. If your cut is precise you may not need it. Glue the First piece of fabric to the tape roll making sure it covers smoothly putting glue onto the outside of the tape roll first. Now glue the inside. Then smooth out fabric & make sure to put enough glue but not too much so it's secure. Finally, glue the second piece (if needed) on the inside covering the seam. Let dry then wear. Note: Make sure to put glue on a small piece of fabric to see if you like the way the glue dries on the fabric.

Itchy Scalp

      When having a dry & Itchy scalp that seems to never stop Itching try mixing Vitamin E & Coconut Oil together. Get a small bottle (clear so you can see how much you are pouring). Travel size bottles will work as well. Pour in 25% of the Vitamin E & fill the rest with Coconut Oil. Shake slowly so they mix well then apply to itchy scalp. Give it 5 to 10 minutes to work. If it still itches reapply. You will see quick results. The products I use are: Hollywood Beauty Vitamin E Oil from Sally's Beauty Supply. It prevents Dryness. A Hair & Skin Oil, Damage control, Helps Stimulate Growth, & Anti-Aging. The Coconut Oil: Simply Natural Coconut Oil in which you can find in certain stores. Note: Make sure not to rub eyes when on fingers it will burn. Flush eyes with cold water if so.

How to Make Post Earrings

     The tools you will need are pliers, hooks, jump rings (optional), post and beads of the size of your choice. First, take the beads and put them on the post in the design you desire. Note: If you have big beads put a smaller bead underneath it to prevent the bigger bead from slipping off. With straight post on both ends you can use your pliers to close off the ends by making a hoop. Once the beads are on leave space to close off the post with a hoop. Then open the jump ring & slide it through both the hook & post with beads. Close the jump ring. Finally, repeat the technique with the other post & wear.

How to Make Elastic Rings

 The tools you will need are: 

  • Elastic
  • Scissors 
  • Beads

First, find beads that are a nice size that will fit comfortable around you finger. Next, get elastic that really gives when you stretch it, (the thin elastic). Double the elastic to make two elastic stings parallel around the finger. Leave 1 1/2 inch or 2 inches so you can tie. Cut off excess. Slide enough beads onto the elastic to fit around the finger. Finally, tie off your elastic doing over & under knots. Then you're done.
