cat ear headband

[Halloween Craft] Using Empty Boxes! Cat Ear Headband (Construction Paper & Origami) [Handmade Accessories, Cute Crafts] You can make it with cardstock too! How to Make Cat Ears

Here’s a cat-ear headband you can make using a tissue box! First, cut out the side panel of the tissue box.

Then cut that piece in half lengthwise.

It won’t be long enough as is, so cut out additional strips from the remaining parts of the box in the same way and connect them to extend the length.

This will be the base of the headband.

Glue two strips together, form them into a circle, and let them dry for a full day while keeping the shape.

Using clothespins or similar clips helps hold it in place.

Once dry, cover it with black construction paper, then attach cat ears made from the same paper, and you’re done! Drying for a day helps it keep its shape so it can be worn on your head, so don’t skip this step.

Sweets Bath Bomb

[DIY] Cute Foamy Treats in the Bath ♡ Sweets Bath Bomb

How about making bath bombs that you drop into the tub to enjoy their fizz and fragrance, but with a focus on appearance so they look like fake sweets? The ingredients are baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, essential oils, and food coloring.

Mix everything thoroughly, then lightly mist with water so it holds together.

Press the mixture into silicone molds, let it set, and dry.

Melt glycerin soap in the microwave, tint it with food coloring to resemble chocolate sauce, and drizzle it over the hardened bath bombs.

Try making donut-shaped, chocolate-shaped, and other sweet-inspired bath bombs and have fun with the designs!

Marble run

Handmade marble run

This is a fun craft where a marble spirals around and drops down along the core of a plastic wrap roll.

All you do is stick skewers into the roll while keeping step-like levels in mind—simple, but the skewers’ angles and spacing are key.

If you place the skewers poorly, the marble won’t make it to the bottom, so it’s best to experiment as you go.

The light, pleasant sound as it rolls is part of the fun, too, so aim for a satisfying sound by fine-tuning the number of skewers and the angles of the steps.
