Easter nails (#newbie) Tutorial

Hi, so I just need to make perfectly clear that...... if you are expecting some type of nail artist or make up artist tutorials, sadly..... you're in the wrong blog. I'm no artist but I love to do my nails, hair and makeup. I'll post some of my NOTD and FOTD (nails of the day and face of the day) as tutorials, but they will be my everyday and not so skilled version. My Tutorials are free of: hassle, talent  and done with a very limited budget. I follow, admire and use as inspiration several nail and makeup artist. I love! really love their work, but if I would try to do intricate tutorials as theisr, mine would actually suck...... and badly. Lets say this is how most of my attempts to follow tutorials end:

Now to the tutorial itself:

Family Fun and Easter Eggs crafting! (Tutorial)

Easter is one of those Holiday that seems to bring mixed emotions if you are Christian you will feel sadness and joy for the Resurrection,  now if you are pagan (new age) and you celebrate Eostre, it's a merry time to celebrate Eastre and welcome Spring, yet MOST religions allow their kids to enjoy some harmless egg crafting and hunt. When my children were little Easter was a BIG thing, we would spent a week crafting and painting eggs, cooking, baking  and getting ready for the different "Pascua" stages. I should mention that my country is Catholic in their majority so the celebrations are quite different, but the egg craft and hunting  are alike and  so is the big marketing behind chocolate bunnies and eggs from huge companies like, M&M, Hershey's, Resse's, Cadbury, Lindtz and even Peeps are  known worldwide, even in small third world countries like mine. Lets just try to keep some traditions alive.

 What you will need:
Newspaper
Scissors,
Elmer Glue
Food Colorant (blue, red, green and yellow)
Plastic bags
Shaving cream
Joggle Eyes
Medium crafting brush
bowls
Apple Cider Vinegar
Glitter, Stickers, black marker

Crayon eggs tutorial

I have a thing for melted crayons. I have done many projects with melted crayons on canvas and since its easter thought I would do something a bit different. This is a craft that will require adult supervision.

What you will need:

Heat gun or blow dryer

Hot glue gun (high temp works best but you can get by with low temp)

Crayons

Cardboard

Something to sit the egg on.

Packing tape

scissors

Knife
Eggs (I used plastic)

The Sparkle Egg #giveaway

The Sparkle Egg Giveaway Hosted by Pea of Sweetness

Sponsored by Ideals Books

Co-Hosted by Deals of Sweetness

 

 Easter is coming, and Sam loves Easter! But this year, he is upset about a lie he told his parents. Even though he apologized and they forgave him, Sam can't shake the feeling that he is a bad kid for what he did. Meanwhile, his parents help him make a special Easter craft called a Sparkle Egg. His mom tells him to write anything he feels sorry about or ashamed of on a piece of paper and put it inside his Sparkle Egg. On Easter morning, when he opens his Sparkle Egg expecting a surprise, Sam finds that it is empty! His parents explain that because Jesus died and rose again, we are forgiven. Like the tomb that first Easter Day, Sam’s egg is empty—and Sam’s wrongdoing is completely forgiven. Once he accepts this forgiveness fully, Sam realizes a truth: we can sparkle and shine with God’s light when we let God’s gift of grace into our hearts. This touching story will strike a deep chord with readers of all ages, and the Sparkle Egg tradition will help readers and their families grasp the totality of God’s perfect grace. Emilee at Pea of Sweetness loves resources that help children focus on the true reason we celebrate Easter. See what her family thought in their review of The Sparkle Egg. One winner will receive The Sparkle Egg book (ARV $16.99). This giveaway begins on 3/29 at 7pm and ends on 4/12 at 11:00pm (times are Central) and is open to US and Canada (void Quebec) ages 18+.
