D.I.Y ON NAPKINS

SO WE ALL BUY NAPKINS AT THE STORE FOR DIFFIDENT OCCASIONS AND GET THEM IN DIFFERENT COLORS .. IT MAY BE A BIT BORING JUST HAVING THEM IN A PLAIN SOLID COLOR SO THIS IDEA IS ONE  GREAT WAY TO CHANGE THE LOOK ON A CLOTHE NAPKIN

Step 1: You will need some bleach, a pencil with eraser, a pencil sharpener, toothpicks, and some fabric or linens. its best to use dark colored linens..

Step 2: Add the bleach to a small jar.

Step 3: Use the pencil sharpener to make the tip of the pencil eraser smaller.

Step 4: Dip the eraser into the bleach

Step 5: Press firmly onto the fabric letting the bleach soak in.making a dot 

Step 5: Dip the toothpick into the bleach.

Step 6: Make curved lines coming from the anchor.

                                                                                 

                     Step 7: Use the tip of the eraser to embellish the design  at the end for a finishing touch.

 THIS ALSO WORKS WELL WITH DARK COLORED LINENS YOU CAN ALSO MAKE INITIALS ON THE NAPKINS IT UP TO YOU WHAT TYPE OF DESIGN YOU WANT TO MAKE

TIPS TO CURE CRACKED HEELS !

Cracked heels are characterized by excessive dryness around the heels. When the heels dry more, the cracks move further inside body and nerves causing the pain. If you want to combat cracked heels make sure you have combated the dryness by moisturizing the heels every day before going to sleep. The deeper the cracks; the longer it will take to get healed.  this will help you get rid of cracked heels faster..

SCRUB FOOT'S SOLE USING A PUMICE STONE 

Since dead skin aggravates the problem of cracked heels, make sure you have scrubbed the sole of the foot using a pumice stone every time when you are taking bath. Pumice will file away the dead skin leaving the supple skin on the sole of the foot. The skin will not easily crack if it is well moisturized.

OMEGA 3 SUPPLEMENTATION 

Lack of omega 3 fats can cause dryness so it is important to supplement omega 3 and to eat foods that are rich in omega 3 like fish.

RIPE BANANA 

Applying ripe banana paste daily on cracked heels will help you achieve smooth and toned heels. After applying you have to leave it for 10 to 12 minutes and then you can wash.

OLIVE OIL 

Every night, before going to bed massaging your dried and cracked feet with olive oil will help you gain smooth heels. For best results, after applying olive oil wear socks overnight

CLEANING AND MOISTURIZING 
Cracked heels are more common in winter due to dryness. Daily cleaning and moisturizing can help a lot in this regard. Soak your feet everyday in mildly warm salt water for 10 to 12 minutes. It will not only help to overcome dryness but also makes you feel relaxed. After the process apply moisturizing cream for better results.

ROSE WATER AND GLYCERIN 

Mix rose water with glycerin and apply the mixture daily on your cracked heels. Do this for 15 days. You will be amazed to see the excellent results.

Applying any of these tips will give you excellent results when it comes to curing cracked heels

HOW TO CUT A WINE BOTTLE

SO ONCE IN A WHILE SOME OF US HAVE A GLASS OF WINE FOR DINNER AND THINK I CAN RE- USE THE CORK HOW CAN I RE- USE THE WINE BOTTLE OR CUT THE BOTTLE IN HALF There are tons of ways to up-cycle those empty wine bottles we all aquire, but many of the projects you’ll find require the wine bottle to be cut in half…sounds scary, I know. 

                                                     How to Cut a Wine Bottle

Gather Up:

Cotton String

Acetone Nail Polish Remover

a match

pot of ice cold water

STEP 1.

Fill a pot with ice cold water and set to the side

STEP 2

 Wrap a (medium thickness) piece of cotton string around the wine bottle three times (wrap it around up to 6 times for a thicker bottle), tie it.

 UPDATE*  Many have found success using yarn (and some even say shoelace works great!).

           

                                           Once the string is tied, slide it off the wine bottle.

STEP 3

Soak the string in acetone based nail polish remover for 10 seconds

STEP 4

Put the nail polish remover soaked string back around the bottle on the spot where you would like it to cut

STEP 5

Using a match light just the string on fire, continually rotate the bottle in circles so that the fire spins around the bottle.  Keep rotating the bottle until the flames goes out.

**Keep the fire going for as long as you possibly can, especially for thicker bottles.  Thebottle will not break if it doesn’t get hot enough!  You may even need to do this a step a few times on thicker bottles.  I had a hard time keeping the flame going, but once you do it a couple times you’ll get the hang of it.  Just keep rotating very quickly!

STEP 6

Once the flame goes out, quickly submerge the bottle in a pot of ice cold water and watch it break!

Now you can imagine all of the possibilities for up-cycling wine bottles!
