LIPCONDITIONER
Lipbalm_large*
What you will need:
- vaseline, cocao butter, something you like
- old lipstick
- a container to put your lip butter in.

Put 1/3 lipstick in the container and 2/3 vaseline in the container and heat it in the microwave til it melts. Mix everything well and put it for a couple hours in the freezer. If you don't own a microwave or your to lazy to go downstairs, there is an another option, your straightener. When you want to use these methode you have to put your things in a metal container, you can also work with a spoon or something. Be aware, this is gonna be messy. Use several colours, be creative!

WIRE RING













What you will need:
- metal wire
- some random beads, gems, whatever you like
- wire cutter

There are alot variations you can make. What I recommend is: try, begin and see where it ends. Here are some inspirations :)

RE-USE YOUR OLD THINGS
ohh you can make so many new things out of your old, put away, probably hidden 'junk'.
-For example all your dad old t-shirts/sweaters, it's a gold mine. You can make crop tops, dresses, sleeveless tops, cut out t-shirts (allot of different designs).
   (cut out skull tshirt)
-Jewerly. Search your grandmas, aunts, mothers jewerlycase and be suprised what you will find. You can also repaint your jewerly with nailpolish to shake it up a bit.
- Cut well fitted jeans/pants into shorts!
- Get started with studding, Stud everything.
- paint a cool design on your old allstars.
- start bleaching things, jeans, shorts, jeanjackets. You can also make a galaxy print with bleach on black fabric.
- Can you not choose which nailcolor to put on or just can not find the right color in your collection of over the hunderd colors, create a new one with the colours you already own.

Well get started!
