3 educational craft projects

-

 Why not craft and learn at the same time? Here are three projects to do just that. 


1. Political cartoon

These filled the newspapers back in the day, especially during the world wars. Why not make your own based on your political views? 


2. Clay heart 

Look up a diagram of the heart, and try making one out of clay! Or sketch out the cardiovascular system, coloring the different arteries blue or red in relation to the oxygen flow. I did both activities, and loved it! 


3. WW2 gift 

Back then the children didn’t have advanced craft supplies to make gifts to ship to their family members off fighting the war. Try making a gift out of aluminum foil and other found objects, and gift it to a far away family member. 


Happy crafting!

I love doing my makeup in the morning before school. I went to a website where you can make a  wheel  and add makeup looks to it and spin it around to let it pick a look at random. So I will be doing these looks and posting tutorials on here as well as posting some other content. It sure feels good to be back, and I hope you’ll follow along on my journey with me also.  The wheel selected colorful makeup, which should be fun! Watch the tutorial below to see how to do your own colorful makeup ❤️🩷✨ It’s actually not really a tutorial and more a crazy video of me running around trying to put on makeup at 1 AM. I will be showing some finished photos below. To keep anonymous I’ve just done some close ups of different aspects of the makeup look. I can’t wait to see what the wheel chooses next. This was quite th...

Best Biscotti Recipe

-
 I love making biscotti. We always eat them up within three days! Here is the base, simple recipe. But you can add anything you’d like, and experiment. My experiments have included toasted coconut, homemade brown sugar streusel topping, dried cherry with candied orange bits,  and chocolate pistachio. Have fun!  Preheat the oven to 300.  Toast up your nuts of choice while the oven is preheating. Mix your nuts with 2 cups of white flour, a cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, a teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, half a stick of cold cubed butter, 3 eggs, and a tablespoon of veggie oil. Add any other mix ins. Shape your biscotti like a mound. Bake for 25 minutes, then let cool. Slice your loaf into the biscotti, and bake for nine minutes. Flip your biscotti over and bake for nine more minutes before letting it cool for at least 15 min.  The biscotti might look a touch soft when they come out, but will harden almost instantly while being allowed t...
