Day 22: Flower out of Kleenex

I was wondering how people make beautiful flowers out of regular paper. I found some tutorials using gift tissue paper. I didn't have any cute paper but I had Kleenex paper. I thought, why not try it out. I used 8 pieces of paper and folded each one into a fan. Then I cut out the ends into a triangle. I finished all 8 and put them together and fold them into a bunch. I manipulated the tissue paper into a flower.


I wanted to go step further and made the flower into a skirt for this ad that I liked. I cut out the girl halfway. I glued the flower to her body and voila. 

I enjoyed this project. Who knew recycling could be so much fun.

Day 5: Newspaper Nail Art Tutorial

I wanted to try a  wonderful and simple idea.  I was surprised how easy it was to create beautiful nails decorated with newspaper clippings. On my 1st try the nail was a bit blurry but not too bad so I kept it. I had problem with only my right thumb. I removed the color and redid it. Success:) Follow the steps and see how much fun it is.

All you need is nail color , rubbing alcohol, newspaper clippings, top coat and small container.

Apply light nail color 2 times. I chose white color. Let it dry before you proceed.

Pour rubbing alcohol in a small container and dip your finger for about 15 sec.

Press a small piece of newpaper clipping onto your nail for about 15 sec.

Slowly remove the paper from your nail. You can use text or pictures. I put Angelina Jolie's face on my thumb.

 

Finish all your nails and apply a top coat.

Clean up the black mark from the newspaper.

Some might have to be redone:) 


Voila! That's it. I hope you enjoyed them and had as much fun as I did. 



I must say I have received many compliments on my nails. I love them.! It was so much fun, I'll do them again.
Let me know how your newspaper nail art turned out.
