DIY Headbands with Free Pattern!

Even though Summer is not here yet, it has been hot here in the South. I have been trying to grow my hair out, but I am a ponytail junky because I hate having my hair in my face. To stop me from putting my hair up, I decided that I needed some headbands for when I am working. So, I of course, decided to make my own DIY Headbands!

I have a ton of Fat Quarters, probably because I hoard them. So, I dug through my stash and found some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Fabric, as well as some Wonder Woman fabric to use. You can use any fabric you would like, just as long as it is a light weight fabric.

Easy DIY Reversible Apron!

When I first started this blog, one of my first projects was a DIY Apron. To this day it is still one of my most popular posts. The directions were a little lack luster, so I wanted to remake it. I also wanted to include a free printable pattern to make the process easier. For this Easy DIY Reversible Apron I went with a Deadpool theme. But, the options are endless with this pattern.

The pattern I included two different options for the waist and neck strap. Option A includes a banded waist, while Option B is a more simple option without the band.

DIY Bleach Stain Shirt!

One of my first projects on this blog was a Hello Kitty Bleach Shirt that I used vinyl to create the design. I love that shirt, and still have it. I wanted to make some more fun shirts, but instead of using vinyl, I opted to use freezer paper to make the design. These DIY Bleach Stain shirt are super easy to make, and fun to make.

I opted to make a Boba Fett inspired shirt using the Mandalorian symbol. But, you can make any design you want! I love using freezer paper for crafts because it is easily available, and cheap!

DIY Screen Printing with Vinyl!

If you have been around for a while, you know I have a passion for my Silhouette cutting machine. You can use it to make decals for shirts, design and print your own stickers, the projects are endless! I love cutting vinyl designs, but I always felt like I was wasting the negative of the cuts. But, did you know you can use the negatives to do your own DIY Screen Printing with vinyl?

For this project I used I used the negative of a decal I cut, of course I went with a Star Wars theme. You will also need the following:

Embroidery Hoop
Fabric Ink
Squeegee, or putty knife
Sheer fabric (I used an old sheer curtain)
Painters Tape or masking tape

If you are careful and wash your screen with cold water after, you can reuse the screen and vinyl to make multiple prints. Check out the video below to see how to do this DIY Screen printing with vinyl project!

The key to getting a good print is to make sure you press your vinyl down and remove as many air bubbles as possible. Thicker fonts and designs also work better with the project.

If you want to use the same template that I used in this project, you can grab the free template below!

Free Star Wars Template

Price: Free!

Who is excited about the new Power Rangers Movie?!?! ME!!!! I grew up watch the Power Rangers, and love them! The last movie was kind of a let down, so I am hoping that this one makes up for it!

DIY Game of Thrones Iron Throne Soap

Have you ever had a crazy idea and just went for it? That is how this project started. I was looking around my office for inspiration and I spotted my mini Game of Thrones Iron Throne setting on the shelf. I though, “I wonder if I can make this into soap?”. So that is what I did! I did not have high hopes for this project, but to my surprise, it turned out pretty awesome! So, today I am going to show you how I made this DIY Game of Thrones Iron Throne Soap!

My mini Throne had a lot of detail, so I was afraid that the soap version would lose a lot of it. I was wrong, all of the detail was picked up in the soap!

Doctor Who Chocolate Souffle Recipe!

Clara Oswald is, and will always be, my favorite Doctor Who companion. My favorite thing about her is her determination. And, nothing says determination like trying to make a Chocolate Souffle. After 4 different attempts (and a lot of swearing) at making a Chocolate Souffle, I finally think I got it. It may not be super pretty, but that is because it started to fall a little while I was setting up all of my camera gear. But, it is yummy, and the addition of a Tardis on the top makes this a Doctor Who Chocolate Suffle Recipe! …
