DIY Hair Color

     You will need:

            Food coloring (later we used frosting dye which worked much better, but if you have blond hair, food coloring will be fine.)

             A holding hair product (in this case, spray gel.)

              Water (I'm hoping you can find some of that.)

                A spray bottle 

 

                                

                              Put a little bit of water into it. This is probably a good amount if you want to do your entire head, and happen to have a lot of dye on hand.

 

                                    Add some of your product. This tutorial has no specific amounts, but you really don't want to overdo this part. Maybe about five drops, and when I say drops, I do NOT mean anything bigger than a drop. For instance, not a "stream", a drop. I feel like I am writing in a weird voice right now. Oh well, whatever.  

                                       
                                                        

                      Now put in a lot of dye. Mix colors to get the shade you want. I used up all of my dye, and it still wasn't enough for this amount of water, so keep that in mind when figuring out amounts. 

 

 

                                          Shake it up, and spray!

             P.S. It might help to put the dye in first. 

Crinkly Aluminum Headband

                   
                              Materials: 

                                  
                              Thick Headband
                               Sheet of Felt
                              Aluminum Foil
                              Rolling Pin
                              Hot Glue Gun   

                                1. Cut a good sized piece of aluminum, and gently crumple it up. 

                                                 

                                                  2. Use the rolling pin to flatten it.

                                            3. Cut a strip slightly wider than your headband.                                                                                                                             

                                           4. Hot glue the strip to the headband. Fold the edges
                                  under and hot glue them down, too.

                                            5. Cut out more strips of aluminum, and cover any
                                       remaining headband showing through. 
                                         
                                          6. Cut strips of felt slightly wider than your headband's
                                                thickness. Run a line of hot glue down the inside of
                                           the headband. Glue the felt on. Leave the edges of the
                                            felt loose for now. 

                                            

                                           
                                            7. Trim and glue down edges of headband.
