….

You know I love a great DIY and this was super easy and very effective. I have seen a similar thing back in October when someone added tattoo spiders onto candles for a Halloween table scape and I thought wow this is such a cool idea with a lot of impact and forgot about it. But somehow it was still flying around in my head cause when I was brainstorming what would be cute post ideas for Valentine´s Day this suddenly came back and here we are.

DIY Tattoo Candles

This is a fairly easy tutorial. Choose the candlesticks (of course normal candles work as well as long as they have a smooth surface) and add your tattoo onto the place you would like to add it. Make it wet so it transfers and be careful when you are taking away the paper. That is it my friends!!!! Repeat this as often as you like or until your candle stick is full of cool tattoos. Works for every season or ocassion.

So here is what you need :

– candles (obvious)

– a cloth you can make wet (I used a dish towel)

– tattoos of your liking

My candles are leftover from our wedding so I already had them stored away in the basement and the tattoos are from SheIn I think but amazon has very similar ones if you don´t have much time left for your package to arrive.

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I have a long list of activites planned for this years Christmas time. Emilia has the perfect age to get crafty. I have seen someone make salt dough ornaments on Instagram weeks ago and thought why not. This is the perfect opportunity for us to make something together we can keep but also gift. 

So with no further ado, here is how we made our salt dough ornaments….

Ingredients:

– 1 cup of salt 

– 2 cups of flour

– 3/4 cup of water

– mix everything together unitl you have a nice dough and then roll it out on your kitchen counter with lots of flour so it won´t stick

– bake for 2-3 three hours on 120 degrees

– let it cool and then start painting or leave it blank, however you prefer it

I used acrylic color cause it is brighter but you can also use water color.

Emilia´s Arts and Craft Corner…

….

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate LInks-not sponsored)

Building this art corner has been one of the best ideas I had this year. We gifted Emilia the art easel and all the supply for her second birthday cause she loves to draw and it was a huge hit. We might have a little artist on our hands 🙂 but all jokes aside I think it is perfect for her age. She likes to draw all by herself or with one of us. It definitely keeps her occupied and happy.

I got most of the stuff from amazon as well as a local store but you can get many of the things like stickers and glitter glue or stamps at your local dollar store, I am sure about that.

The art cart itself is from Ikea and stuffed with great items to draw, color and do handikraft. I got lots of boxes and cups to keep it as neat as possible and so far it has worked great. The paper divider is from amazon and perfect to store the sticker sheets, construction and glitter paper as well as the little sheets of foam rubber. I am sure we are going to do lots of crafts with all these things.

As far as I can see there are hundreds of cute things you could add to your cart. You just need to decide which theme you want to follow and also what you or your little one enjoys.
