DIY Rustic Pallet Stars

After making a pallet Advent tree I decided I needed a star to go on top. I still had lots of pallet wood leftover to use. I found this awesome tutorial (click here ) and pattern (click here ) for these cute rustic stars. I printed her pattern and cut out all my pallet pieces. She had two sizes so I decided to try making both since I couldn't decide which would be better. Be careful! Since I was using leftover pieces to cut these even littler pieces out it was a bit challenging..... I decided to just wood glue the pieces together and left it overnight to see how it did rather than drilling all the extra holes. It actually seemed sturdy, maybe because they are fairly small pieces but just in case I added a second layer of wood glue along the seams and it has held up great!

DIY fabric travel high chair

Genius! This is a perfect DIY project although I haven't had the time to make one yet but I've been wanting to. The original tutorial can be found here - Tutorial: This Mama’s Fab Travel Chair . I found a second tutorial based on the this mama makes stuff on a blog called homemade by Jill which can be found here . Basically the instructions are cut out 3 rectangles for your pattern - a waist strap, the connector, and a seat piece (may vary in size depending on child) You need: 2 patterns of fabric (if preferred) velcro batting sewing machine Cut out 3 rectangles in each fabric and 3 rectangles of batting to fit in between fabric pieces. Check their tutorials for further instructions as I haven't tried this out yet. Below are some pictures from the blog homemade by Jill:

DIY haircut

Ever thought of cutting your own hair? I've been debating whether or not to try as my hair is long overdue for a trim. The plus side is I would be saving a ton of money if I am able to pull this off. There is also no real downside because if it looks terrible I'll just go to a professional to fix it. So after researching different techniques or ways to go about cutting my own hair this is what I think I'll try. This ponytail haircut looks fairly simple and easy to do. The long layers or long layers with a boost in the back seem like safe bets! The picture and instructions can be found on the blog how to hair girl or with this link .
