DIY and Lifestyle

Hey guys! Today is Monday and for today's post I am going to be showing you some idea's on how to DIY a New Year's party table! Wow I can't believe 2017 is so close! In less then a week it will be officially 2017!!! :) But I decided that I would show you this idea in case you wanted to have a party and you wanted to DIY everything! I am not having a party but this is great for just having with your family too! So without any further adieu....Let's get started! First off let's start with the decor! So what I did first is I cut out 2017 in paper and colored it. But I would highly recommend already colored paper.  Then I cut out piece's of paper and wrote: HAPPY NEW YEAR in colorful letters. Now to drinks! I just went the super simple route and served water! But definitely put out what drinks you like!  FOOD! Yay now we get to do the fun part! So for the first treat I cut up banana pieces and dipped them in chocolate and froz...

Hey, everyone! :) Today's Monday and for today's post I am going to show you things you can do during the winter time! I just got off for winter break on Friday and maybe some of you have too, but sometimes we need things to do. So.....I decided I would put together some idea's so that you won't be bored this winter break! So without any further adieu....Let's get started! Read! I love reading during the winter time! Find one of your favorite books or series and read that over winter break!! Ice skating! I have to admit I have only ice skated once but I loved it and I think it is great to do in the winter time! Ice skating is also a great thing to do with your friends and family! :) Make Hot Chocolate! I absolutely love Hot Chocolate! And it is a perfect drink for winter! And I just made a post on how to make it in the last post! So after you finish reading this one I would encourage you to go take a look at it!  Go Shopping! Shopp...

Hey, guys! Welcome to my second winter post! :) Today is Monday and for today's post, I am going to show you how to make the best hot chocolate ever! (Just kidding I'm sure there is a better hot chocolate in the world that would top this. But this is the best hot chocolate I know. )  So without any further adieu......Let's get started!  So to start off I melted one Tablespoon of chocolate in a 1/2 cup of water.Then I added milk.(But you can always use a hot-chocolate package instead.) After you have stirred up your hot chocolate, get out your other ingredients: 1 crushed candy cane, marshmallows(as many as you desire), and 1/3 cup of vanilla ice cream. Start off by taking your ice cream and adding it to your hot chocolate. DO NOT STIR! Second, add your marshmallows in a pile on top of your ice cream. It is okay if your ice cream sinks a little. Lastly, sprinkle your crushed candy cane on top. And now you're ready to drink it! I would definitely...

Hey guys! Today is Monday, and also the official start of my Winter posts! Yay! :) So for today's post I will be showing you guys how to make these really simple snowflakes and then show you how you can decorate with them! (And if you saw the last post then you probably already knew what today's post was going to be about.) So without further adieu...Let's get started! How to make a paper snowflake: Step 1: Gather your supplies: A pair of scissors, and a square sheet of paper.  Step 2: Start by folding your paper into a triangle. Then fold that triangle into a smaller triangle. Take your scissors and cut triangles going up each side. (As shown in the picture.) Step 3: Finish cutting by cutting triangles on the last side of your triangle. (Sorry my instructions are a little confusing but please look at the pictures for more information.) Step 4: Finish off your snowflake by unfolding it. And now you have a beautiful snowflake. An...

Hey guys! Today is Monday and for today's post I wanted to make a post about what's in my bag that I usually carry around with me. I don't carry very much in my bag so this post is going to be bit shorter then usual. Also make sure to stay to the end of this post for a sneak peek into next week's post! So without further adieu......Let's get into it! First I always have my sunglasses with me, because you never know when the sun might show up! So sunglasses are a must have in my bag. Second I have my ipod nano (mp3 player) and earphones with me because I love listening to music on the go.  Third, I have my notepad and my pen. You might have seen this notepad in a back to school haul I did back in September or August. (If you remember seeing it comment below "BTS!") And last but not least I have my hand-sanitize in the scent Paris from bath and body works.  Because you never know when you might need your hands clean!  And those are the...

Hey guys! Today's Monday and for today's post I am sharing with you some updates. The last updates post I did was in September so I thought I would make another one to update you guys on some things. So without further adieu lets get started. Blog name change.  Some of you might have noticed but I changed this blog's name from DIY Crafts...to... DIY Crafts + Life Style.  Since I have been doing a lot of Life style blogging lately I thought that I would add Life Style blogging onto this blog too.

I know,I know every time I reach another 1,000 views on my blog I get excited. But I just want to let you know that I am thankful for every single view this blog gets.  Winter posts coming soon.  Next month on December 5th I will be starting my winter posts! Yay I'm so excited! I love the winter time and I...
