{DIY Pore Strips}

What you need:
1/2 Teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 Teaspoon milk
Small microwavable bowl
Makeup brush or clean paint brush

What you do:
Add the gelatin & the milk in the bowl 
Microwave for 10 seconds
Mix together & paint on wherever you have blackheads
{Make sure to clean your brush right now or it will be a sticky mess}
Let set for about 10-20 minuets or until completely dry
Peel off.
Thats it your done. EASY!!

I would recommend putting a warm washcloth on your face prior to applying the mix just to loosen the debris and aid in removal.

This will cost you next to nothing too!
One box of Knox gelatin is just $2 with four packets inside.  Each packet will make 5 batches with enough to cover your chin and nose (and maybe even a buddies too) which comes to a whopping total of 10 cents a treatment or 5 cents each nose and chin strip!  
{ Fabric Wreath }






I Just took some newspaper & made a round "frame" for me to tie the fabric around.
 You could use basically anything that you wanted for the frame. You will want to make sure though, that it is small enough to tie the fabric around.
{A lot of people use a wire hanger}
I wanted mind to be a little bit thicker than a hanger.

 I cut about 6''x1'' strips of fabric. I tried to make them a little bit less than perfect though.


Then tied the strips to the news paper frame. 




Until I had the whole thing covered. 

 I then tied some black ribbon around it for Halloween. I am planning to take the black ribbon off now that Halloween is over and add some fall colored ribbon.
You can also tie ribbon to it to hang it from.

There are 100,000 ways that you can make it unique. Christmas colored ribbon, Valentines, Easter, 4th of July, fray the ends.... the possibilities are endless!
I'm excited to make more for the upcoming holidays!
