How to Water Marble Nails and Christmas Ornaments

I had so much fun water marbling Christmas ornaments last year, I decided to do it again this year.  This time around I made a heart pattern and used a variety of colors.  I love this craft because it uses everything I already have at home, and its cheap, if I mess up I can simply use nail polish remover and remove the pattern.

Video tutorial found here.

I used Orly French White, OPI Party in My Cabana, Wet n Wild I Need a Refresh Mint, and  Sally Hansen Lovely Lilac.

You can use a clear ornament or an opaque one.  I like the clear ones because you can see the design through different angles.

I water marbled my mails also.  You can also see that tutorial in the videos below.

Holiday Cookies

This post brought to you by Walmart. All opinions are 100% mine.
Making Holiday Cookies with my daughter has become a tradition in our house.  The best part about cookie making for us is not eating them, but we love to decorate them and give them out.  The smell of holiday cookies in our house really sets the stage for the wonderful holiday season ahead.

This year we made gingerbread cookies.  My daughters were so excited about this.  They were so excited to decorate the gingerbread men and put faces on them.  They aren't the prettiest cookies, but I the people we give them to know that they were made with love.

New Rainbow Loom Pattern Tutorial: Inverted Fishtail and Double Inverted Fishtail Bracelet

Here are two new Rainbow Loom patterns with video tutorials.  I didn't realize that my videos were not viewable via mobile devices so I've included a link to each video instead of embedding the video into the post.

The inverted fishtail and the double inverted fishtail can be both made without a rainbow loom.  The double inverted fishtail is a bit easier on a loom, but still doable without a loom.  I've been making so many bracelets I've run out of rubber bands.  I ran to Target during lunch to pick up some (read on a forum that Target had them at the dollar spot), but when I got there there was only one open pack left.  So if you are in the market for rubber bands try Target's dollar spot, maybe yours will have it.  I think the pack was 300, but I didn't buy it because half the rubber bands in that last pack were scattered in the bin.

I was actually looking to buy these gold rubber bands on Amazon.  They seem really cool to make bracelets out of.  I usually get my online craft supplies from Consumer Crafts (their rubber bands are pretty cheap only a dollar some for 300 rubber bands), but they don't have the gold ones.  There are some cool glitter ones and glow in the dark ones that I ordered.  Their Rainbow Loom is relatively cheap too, compared to Michaels.  

I heard that the Rainbow Loom is flying off the shelves and on the top of every child's Christmas list (both boys and girls).  Yes, this was completely surprising to me that boys are into this also.  I love this loom for kids because it stimulates the brain thinking of new patterns.  It also is so much better than sitting in front of the TV or computer.
