Broadway Themed Gift Basket

This whole idea stemmed from the Barry M nail polish in Ruby Slippers, after seeing it I knew I had to make my Broadway-loving sister a Musical themed Gift Basket. Each item is meant to be based on one of her favourite musicals, the only one I didn't include but was hoping to was Pippin, because we saw that together at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. I painted the side of the box to look like the Broadway sign and then filled it with all the items listed below, each of which had a tag attached to it explaining which musical it's for, though I'm guessing she won't need much help.

Items included

• Newsies Pillow - DIY here
• Les Mis Hardback -can be found here, though I got this one for £2.99 from a charity shop, which is why there were 2 les mis items, I couldn't resist it when I saw it though I already had an item! I also wrote a cute message for her in the front of it.
• Les Mis Quote Print -Found here on 3 for 2
• Ultra Clutch Hairspray -DIY Here
• Wicked Lyric Bauble -DIY Here
• Lion Bar - I was struggling with The Lion King, okay?
• Best of Broadway Palette by NYC- She doesn't even have brown eyes but how could I resist with that name.
• Barry M Nail Polish in Ruby Slippers - For the Wizard of Oz, which in hindsight I don't think she even likes that much, haha!

I can't wait to see her face on Christmas Day when she opens it, if you try it out or have more ideas, let me know in the comments or on twitter I'm @KatieCorbett98 ...

DIY Temporary Tattoos

My summer holidays have officially ended now and although I got most of what I aimed to get done, done, I feel like there is loads of new stuff I want to do now :( Sometimes I just feel like there is so much stuff I have to/want to do...anyway...

I originally saw this idea on Polyvore so I did some research and found a couple of methods but this one was the easiest for me. You can also use 'liquid bandage' which I have never heard of but I'm guessing is available in America.

I used the below image for my design, which I originally wanted to draw on both my wrists but I have a sort of fear of things touching/drawing on my wrists so I ended up drawing it on my feet just below my ankle bone. One of the tutorials I looked at said that it lasted for 4-5 days but mine only lasted for about 2 days so it would last for a party or for a specific day but not much longer.

Supplies-

Eyeliner Pen

Baby powder

Hairspray

Makeup brush

Method-

1. Draw on design with eyeliner

2. Brush on talcum powder

3.Then simply spray Lightly with hairspray.

or this will happen and the ink will just bleed...
