Hair Flowers can get in the way! I am a witness. You don't have to deal with that anymore! All you need is an old frame and some ribbon. Hint: get the frame from a yard sale or something, then repaint it if you need to.
Materials
*An old frame (whatever size)
*Ribbon to put on it
*Glue/Stapler/Whatever you want (to attach your ribbon to your frame)
*Some hair clips to put on it:)

1. Cut your ribbon to the right size.
2. Glue/Staple/Whatever you want, the ribbon to the frame.
(I used hot glue)
Ta-Da
Amazing:). Reduce! Reuse! Recycle! And there you go a Framed Hair Holder . . . thing:)

Coconut Chocolate Cookies

So originally these cookies were called Kickin' Craisin cookies. But I adapted it so that it did not have craisins in it because I do not like craisins that much. So it still has the cinnamon in it and all that stuff. However, I made it so that it had coconut and chocolate, so it's all good. Anyway, I hope that you like it.
Coconut Chocolate Cookies
Cream: 
1 cup of butter
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of brown sugar
Add:
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix well.
Add:
2 cups of flour
2 1/2 cups of quick outs
1 teaspoon baking power
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
a dash of cayenne pepper (Which adds the kick to it. Don't worry, it will still taste good!)
Mix well.
Add:
1 cup of chocolate chips
1 cup of coconut
Make one inch balls and place on a cooking sheet. Cook at 400 degrees for 6-9 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to cooling rack.

*If you want to make Kickin' Craisin Cookies than you add 1 1/2 cup craisins instead of 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup of coconut.

And there you go, now you got really good cookies:)

Soda Cap Bracelets

I love to recycle!!! And this project is cute and good for the earth (not really, but it is still cheep to make). A.K.A. perfect for me to make! WARNING: the pictures are kind of blurry (sorry). Anyway I hope you like it:)!!
So you start out by getting your materials.

*Two Pieces of ribbon or some sort of thing to thread the soda caps into (I used ribbon and a strip of tulle)about 15-20 inches long for a child's/small adult wrist(6-7 inch wrist)
*About 21 soda caps (you will want to bent the back of them so they do not scratch your wrist)


All you do is you thread the ribbon (or whatever you chose to use) into your soda caps and leave about 5-6 inches of room to tie it on to your wrist (remember this is child size). You can also tape the first soda cap to the ribbon to help it stay in place.



 
And there you go another piece of jewelery to show off:)

How To Make A Thing 1 Costume

I love Dr. Seuss! Anyone who loves Dr. Seuss should DEFINITELY be Thing 1. Here it goes, my "crafty" version of Thing 1(I tried to make it quick and easy).
So from top to bottom
*the "wig" - it is blue curling ribbon (8 or 9 strips about a foot or two long) stapled first then curled and clipped into the persons hair with a clip or you could just go and get a real wig

*the sweat shirt - an ordinary jacket, sweat shirt, or shirt with a piece of white material that says Thing 1

*the gloves - I had old white gloves I could use that were store bought
*the tutu - my very favorite go to http://www.momdot.com/howtomakeatutu then just wear leggings under the tutu and wear matching boots or shoes

and there you go a cute costume:)
