DIY Sorting Hat Bubble Bars without SLS

We have made a lot of DIY Beauty products in the past, but have not done one in a while. I figured it was time to start back up again, and these DIY Sorting Hat Bubble Bars without SLS seemed to be the perfect place to start. Even though I have so many soap making products, but no SLS (or SLSA). I did not want to order it, but I wanted to make Bubble Bars, so I improvised. This Bubble Bar recipe without SLS is super easy, and you probably already have everything you would need!

I opted to make a Harry Potter Bubble Bar by making DIY Sorting Hats. You can use this recipe for any thing you want though. And, it is so easy, that it can be done in just a few minutes (minus drying time).

DIY Star Wars Shoes

May the 4th is this week, so I had to celebrate with a Star Wars Craft! Today I am sharing how to add heat transfer vinyl to shoes. It may seem a little scary, but it is really easy. I used heat transfer vinyl to add the Star Wars Logo and a Storm Trooper to a cheap pair of shoes. I just love how these DIY Star Wars Shoes turned out!

DIY Tablet Case! No Sew Tablet Case!

After cleaning and organizing my office I learned that I am a total fabric hoarder. I like to sew, but it is not my go to craft, but still, I can not pass up a great fabric. In an effort to use up some of my fabric, I decided I needed a new case for my tablet. So I made a DIY Tablet Case. It is easy and a no sew project!

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 Power Rangers Shirt!

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! I have so many shirts, but it turns out that I do not have a single Power Ranger shirt! So, I decided to make my own DIY Power Rangers Shirt!

I used freezer paper for the main diamond outlines, and then using my Silhouette cutting machine to cut out the decal in the center.

DIY Nerdy Shrinky Dink Bracelets!

Lately I have been a little obsessed with Shrinky Dink. It is just such a fun product to play with! You can make charms, pins and even things like sun catchers with it! I decided I wanted to play around with it and make some fun DIY Nerdy Shrinky Dink Bracelets!

You only need a few basic things to make these. I used some left over chains and clasps that I had from a previous project, so the only thing I needed to buy was the Shrinky Dink.

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! …
