1. Pumpkin Spice and Honey Mask

via tattooedmartha.com

In each of the ten mask recipes you will notice that they all have one mutual ingredient – honey. It unclogs our pores, it makes our skin soft and glowy, while at the same time works as anti-bacterial and can help in fighting acne. Perfect for some cozy fall time, for this mask you need 6 tbs organic honey, 3 tsp ground cinnamon and 3 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Mix these three in a jar or other small container and before you use it, clean your face. Apply a thin layer and leave it for 20 minutes. It is recommended to drape a towel around your neck because the mask can get drippy.

2. Avocado Honey Mask with Cacao

via sundaysupplyco.com

There are few reasons why you should start using cacao in your skin routine and we’ll name just three – it is a powerful antioxidant that blocks free, harmful radicals in our body, it contains omega 6 fatty acids that help in cellular healing and the cacao is rich with vitamin C and magnesium, that protect our skin and keep it healthy. So, to prepare this mask use 1 organic avocado, 1 tbsp organic raw honey, 1 tbsp cacao powder and 3-4 cucumber slices.

3. Banana Face Mask

via styleoholic.com

The banana is rich with vitamin C and B6 that are important when it comes to the integrity and elasticity of the skin, and it can use its antioxidant for repairing any damage done by free radicals. On the other side, the honey is the most important ingredient thanks to its amazing properties that we previously talked about. To prepare this mask, make sure to have half a banana (ripe) and 2 tsp honey.

4. Hydrating Mask with Pumpkin

via thenewpotato.com

The pumpkin is a powerful antioxidant thanks to the presence of carotenoids, such as the beta-carotene and is very rich in vitamins, such as vitamin C. You can use the pumpkin as ingredient if you have oily skin or if you want an anti-aging treatment. The yogurt is very important for our skin too because it contains enzymes and lactic acid to exfoliate, hydrate and soothe. For the mask, you need 2 teaspoons pureed pumpkin, 1/2 teaspoon organic honey and 1 teaspoon organic Greek yogurt.

5. Detox Face Mask with Charcoal

via scratchmommy.com

This mask is perfect for detoxifying, hydrating and soothing the skin during cold, winter times. The activated charcoal has powerful absorbing properties, so it can draws toxins out through the skin. The witch hazel is used because it’s good at removing excess dirt and oil, while also moisturizes and soothes our skin. To prepare a mask with these ingredients, use  ½ tsp organic whole milk plain yogurt, ½ tsp organic witch hazel, ½ tsp (two caps) activated charcoal and ¼ tsp organic ground turmeric.

6. Orange Turmeric Revitalizing Mask

via saladdays.ca

The orange contains powerful antioxidants thanks to which this super tasty and healthy fruit fights free radicals and prevents aging faster. The turmeric has been used for centuries as a beauty ingredient, and there is a reason for that – it has anti-inflammatory properties and works as a great antioxidant. For this mask you need squeezed juice of 1 orange, squeezed juice of 1/4  lemon, 1/2  cup quick or instant rolled oats, 3 tbsp goat or Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp raw honey and 1/2 tsp turmeric.

7. Pineapple Yogurt Face Mask

via diynetwork.com

The pineapple is rich in vitamin C, bromelain and antioxidants and thanks to these three, this tropical fruit can help us in fighting acne, sooth our skin and even act as anti-inflammatory, while the yogurt will make it soft and moisturized. Use (5) 1-inch pineapple chunks, 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons aloe vera juice and kaolin (or substitute with coconut flour or for drier skin, oat flour).

8. Papaya Face Mask

via themakeupdummy.com

The papaya honey mask is very simple to make and very budget-friendly, as all you need are just these two ingredients – about 1/4 cup of papaya and 1 heaping teaspoon of honey. So, why use papaya on your skin? It contains vitamin A, which is a great antioxidant and can act as a natural exfoliant by removing dead skin cells. The papaya also has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancerous properties.

9. Red Wine Honey Mask

via thechrisellefactor.com

The red grapes also contain powerful antioxidants that can protect our skin from pollution and toxin damage. Red wine also works as antioxidant that that fights free radicals, rejuvenates and increases skin elasticity. So, next time instead of drinking wine, how about making a mask with it? You need handful of red grapes, 3 oz of red wine and 1 tbs of Manuka honey.

10. Face Mask For Dry, Sensitive Skin

via ofbeautyandnothingness.co.uk

If you’re dealing with sensitive skin, try using oats in your mask – they can do wonder! So, this mask is all about using the ingredients that you already have at home, like honey and bananas. We already talked about how these can help you to have an amazing skin without using any chemical products. Take a little bit of these, mix them and voila!

1. Embroidered Bomber Jacket

via wishwishwish.net

Bomber jackets are such a huge trend this season! They are really gorgeous and are an essential piece of clothing for everyone who likes to upgrade their street style. What we also see as huge trend is the embroidery patches. Hearts, letters, signs… They all look cute! In this case, we have “Carrie” patch that you can sew your own or buy it online. If you go for the second option, you just need to peel them off, position them on the jacket, place a damp cloth and use iron upon it.

2. Embroider White Canvas Sneakers

via brit.co

Who would have thought that regular, white canvas shoes can be turned into colorful and wonderful embroidery? We fell in love with them the moment we’ve seen them. If you want to try this one out, here’s what you need besides the white canvas shoes – embroidery floss, beads, scissors and embroidery needle. This project might take you more time, especially if you’re new at embroidery and sewing, but it’s definitely worth the try.

3. Floral Embroidered Top

via abeautifulmess.com

Looking for a way to upgrade your white t-shirt? Well, how about embroidered flowers – the floral theme is always a good idea! For this project, you need embroidery thread, embroidery needle, washable marking pen, embroidery hoop and a basic tee. When it comes to the design of the floral pattern, you can sketch your own or check out the website below the picture and download the same one from the photo for free.

4. Embroidered Denim

via thelondoner.me

Wow, patches sure look amazing on denim, don’t you think? Again you will have two options – two sew it yourself or use iron-on applications. However, the needle and the thread might prove to be a better options because it will hold the patches longer. Either way you choose, your jacket is going to look like an expensive, designer jacket. It’s awesome how a small DIY project can make things look more expensive!

5. Word Embroidered Denim

via apairandasparediy.com

Here’s another way you can embroider denim. It’s about words and quotes! It is simple – looking, but very adorable way to decorate a denim. There are two ways you can embroider denim like this – either by hand or by machine. If you go for the first option, you need hand needle, thread and scissors or thread clippers. For machine embroidery you’ll need sewing machine, a free-motion sewing machine foot, thread and scissors or thread clippers.

6. Embroidered Dress

via merricksart.com

This is a whole DIY dress, not just the embroidery and it looks so nice! Adding a little color on a white dress is really a good way to decorate. To make your own dress like this one, you’ll need 2 yards white fabric, embroidery thread (you’ll need two of each color to make the neckline and hemline), thick needle (with an eye big enough to thread the embroidery thread through it) and a white thread.

7. Embroidered Espadrilles

via littlebuttondiaries.com

We all know how good is the feeling when you’re walking in shoes that you find exrtremely beautiful – especially when you know that it is you who decorated them! If you have an old pair of espadrilles that you want to throw away, think twice. Adding embroidery is a nice way to refresh the look and make them appear as brand new. For this project, besides the espadrilles you need embroidery threads, needle, scissors and pencil.

8. Embroidered Star Stud Shorts

via eyesofacouturier.com

When studs are not enough, add some embroidery and like in this case, be inspired by Wonder Woman! For this project, you need a measuring tape, scissors, ruler, marking chalk, star patches and star nailheads. You can have your shorts done, or even get an old pair of jeans and cut them to the length you want your shorts to be. The shorts are going to be the perfect piece for the next summer or if you live where is hot all the time you can wear them right away!

9. Picasso Inspired Embroidery

via petitapetitandfamily.com

Aren’t these extremely adorable shirts for children? They are really minimalistic, yet have a design that will make you wish to have the same shirt for yourself! These shirts are even great for a gift. If you’re up for a birthday party and you don’t want to buy something really expensive, and you have a sewing machine – then you know what to do!

10. Embroidered Cardigan

via blackandwhiteandlovedallover.com

With winter on its way, it’s time to buy new cardigans or take the old ones out. Either way you choose, you always have the possibility to add something and make it look so much better. If you like the embroidery on the photo, here’s what you need for it –  plain cardigan, skein of embroidery thread and a needle, handful of seed beads and tailor’s chalk or fabric marker.

For this mask, you need one avocado and few tablespoons of lemon juice.

7. Aloe Vera, Honey and Yogurt Hair Mask

via makeupandbeauty.com

You already know what honey and aloe vera can do to your hair, but what about yogurt? It has its own benefits, so let’s write few of them – yogurt has anti-fungal properties that will help you especially if you’re dealing with dandruff. Use yogurt when you want to tame hair frizz and to add shine to a dull hair. For this mask, mix two teaspoons of each aloe vera, yogurt and honey.

8. Coconut Oil, Honey Mask with Apple Cider Vinegar

via naturallivingideas.com

Apple cider vinegar is a known combination for hair rinse, but it can serve you well even when it comes to masks. it can bring our scalp to its almost ideally acidity, while at the same time it kills bacteria and fungus, reduces hair frizz and also reduces porosity of our hair. To make this mask, you need 2 tbsp of organic coconut oil,1 tbsp of local honey and 1 tbsp of raw apple cider vinegar.

9. Strawberry Mask

via thechrisellefactor.com

For this mask you need 8 strawberries, 1 egg yolk and 2 large spoons of olive oil.

Keep the mask on your hair for 20-30 minutes and then wash it off. Your hair will be soft, shiny and it will smell so nice!

10. Moroccan Oil Mask

1. Pearl beads and tassels

Using real pearls to make yourself some gorgeous jewelry would obviously be ideal, but it would also be a great deal more expensive! Pearl beads can be just as cute for a pretty summer look. String some along a length of elastic string and finish the look off by attaching a little DIY tassel, just like Wild Amor did.

2. Beaded leather bracelet

This leather string might be on the thicker side, but looping it through some little circular beads gives off the impression that it’s actually quite delicate. Find out how to string things along on FabYouBliss.

3. Dangling spikes bracelet

There are beads, there are dangling beads, and then there are awesome hanging spikes like these! Use DIY jewelry rings to attach a few long, edgy spikes around the links of a stylish chain bracelet to add an event more visual element. The Stripe shows you how it’s done.

4. Beaded metallic cuff

This cuff is thick without being obnoxious, edgy without being too out there, and totally easy to make as long as you’re willing to practice a little bit of patience. We love the idea of alternating tiny metallic silver and gold beads to give the bracelet a vintage, slightly tarnished look like this one from PS I Made This.

5. Turquoise beaded ring bracelet

We love the way delicate little bead contrast with an equally delicate chain in this design! Highlighting the chain that stretches between the bracelet and the ring sections makes it a unique and eye catching piece. Find out how it’s made on Into Mind.

6. Chandelier charm bracelet

This project combines building your own beads from flower shaped charms and pearl beads, and then also building a dangling charm bracelet! We adore the vintage aesthetic this chandelier design creates. Honestly WTF walks you through every step of making it.

7. Simple beaded friendship bracelets

Did you ever spend time as a kid braiding simple embroidery floss into friendship bracelets for you and your friends? These little bracelets by Honestly WTF are made by braiding too, but each time you loop a side string over the middle string, you’ll slide a bead on first!

8. Coronet bracelet knockoff

We love a good recreation craft! What’s better than saving money on a brand name thing when you can make your own version nearly as easily? This bracelet, modeled after one by Anthro Coronet, has three strands attached at the clasp and each one varies in style to look like you’re wearing three separate pieces. The middle on involves pearl beads and eye-catching floral beads too! Check it out on Flamingo Toes.

9. Two part harmony bracelet

Do you like that the previous design has separate parts but wish it was a little more subdued in style? Try this one, also by Flamingo Toes, insead! The strands are creating from little beads in contrasting light and dark shades.

10. Beaded and braided bracelet

The Cheese Thief shows you how to make this gorgeously delicate but still slightly ornate bracelet design using a string of very fine chain mixed among lengths of pretty little seed beads.

11. Leather wrapped beaded bracelet

This image from Pinterest shows you exactly how to wrap a bead into the middle of a leather string bracelet around both sides. This keeps the bead solidly in place but still lets the edgy leather texture shine through.

12. Wrap bracelet with statement bead

Cut Out and Keep shows you how to make another variation on the other beaded wrap bracelets you see here, but they’ve included a bonus feature! This design features a large bead in the middle that really makes a stylish, bold statement!

13. DIY beaded wrap bracelet

Whether you choose to make a similarly Navaho style pattern as this tutorial from Pumps & Iron, or simply to alternate beaded colours so the bracelet appears to have stripes, this project is a total blast to make. You’ll be working with tiny seed beads, so get out the embroidery floss and needles!

14. DIY watermelon bracelet

Are you a kitschy person who would rather include a small gimmick with their look rather than something feminine? Then Handmade Charlotte has the pattern for you! These cylindrical plastic beads are available at pretty much any crafting store. They’re great for stacking together and easy to get your hands on! Check out how this bracelet late!

Sock buns are, quite literally, a rising trend, with celebrities like Kate Bosworth, Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Conrad all sporting the fashionable topknot of late. The neat hairdo, which is equal parts ballerina and hipster, gets its name because styling it involves cutting the toes off a sock, and rolling it into your hair to create a donut-shaped bun. Today we are making the trendy sock bun hair updo a bit fancier by adding elastic web around the buns, which you can add ribbons or hair accessories for more attractive.

1. Bottle cap lip balm pot

Are you less concerned with the ingredients of your chapstick because you don’t have any allergies or sensitivities, but you’re really into the idea of creating a unqiue gloss of your own that you probably won’t find in stores? Then check out how Autostraddle created this kitschy little chapstick case from some simple bottle caps and a piece of elastic band!

2. 2-ingredient Crystal Light lip balm

Love You Madly teaches you how to make simple chapstick from two simple ingredients: petroleum jelly and Crystal Light! Yes, you read that correctly. You can give new life to a regular jelly lip soother just by adding a little bit of Crystal Light drink mix powder. Mixing the two together makes a lip gloss full of both flavour and colour!

3. Homemade birthday cake lip balm

Do you love the idea of making natural lip gloss but you’re still keen on having it look cute in the pot and smell good when you use it? Have your favourite lip gloss recipes always been those that smell sweet or like baked goods rather than the ones that smell like fruit? Then this scrumptious birthday cake recipe from Soap Deli News is the one for you!

4. DIY flavoured lip gloss

Do you like the idea of creating tinted chapstick but you’d rather not do it with drink mix because you have allergies to food dyes? Then try using natural powdered makeup, like shadow pigments and blushes, to dye your gloss instead! The Girl Inspired shows you how to mix the perfect amount with beeswax, coconut oil, and peppermint oil for fragrance.

5. Swirled lip balm

Have you always loved the kind of lip gloss that contains more than one colour? After all, there’s nothing wrong with a bit of fun novelty, especially when you’re making something custom yourself! Check out the steps for making your own dual coloured swirl in a pot of natural ingredient lip gloss on Rustic Escentuals Crafting Library.

6. Coconut oil lip balm

Are you intent on finding a recipe that’s as natural as possible and ultra easy to make? Then stick to the basics! If you ask us, the best natural ingredient for a lip gloss is coconut oil and Free People happen to agree. They show you how to make a chapstick that combines it with beeswax to give it a little more lasting power than the oil would have all on its own.

7. Mint chocolate lip balm

If you’re anything like us, then you’re a bit of a sucker for a flavoured lip gloss that smells just like your favourite treats. We’re particularly fond of gloss recipes that involve chocolate, mint, or chocolate and mint together! Food Plus Words has just the recipe you’ll need to make yourself a chapstick that you’ll be tempted to eat as a snack.

8. Pink tinted lip balm

Maybe all you’re looking for in your homemade lip balm is moisture and a bit of colour to give your lips a light tint? Then check out how Delia Creates made this awesome gloss using your actual shade of favourite lipstick. It’ll be just like your favourite shade from your favourite brand, but with more moisturizing power.

9. Sparkly strawberry lip balm

Maybe you’re pleased to find recipes that will give you moisture and even a little bit of a pink tinge, but you’re looking for something with a little more dazzle? Just because you’re making your own chapstick doesn’t mean it can’t have all the features of the store bought stuff! Check out how Torie Jayne added a little sparkle to their homemade gloss.

10. Wedding lip balm favours

Are you so in love with the homemade lip gloss recipe you picked that you can’t wait to share it with the rest of the world? Then you might like this cute wedding or party favour idea featured on Something Turquoise. If you haven’t found a recipe you like already, theirs is simple and friendly to people with allergies, so feel free to follow theirs!

11. Kool-Aid lip balm

Were you interested in the idea of using simple powdered drink packets to flavour and tint a homemade lip gloss but you just don’t happen to have a taste for Crystal Light? Get a little simpler with things by grabbing the nearest pack of Kool-Aid instead! That’s exactly what Style Me Pretty did here.

12. Hemp and honey gloss

Perhaps you’re very into the idea of making a natural homemade lip gloss that really does feel, smell, and seem just that- natural? Then we think you’ll be a pretty big fan of Garden Therapy‘s hemp and honey gloss idea! Including honey is an extra bonus because it’s got antibacterial properties, making it very healing if your lips are already dry and cracked before you get it finished.

13. Peppermint lip balm

We’ve already told you how much we love sweet and chocolate gloss recipes, but we actually have another favourite flavour that we might love even more. We always find peppermint refreshing, cooling, and healing in a chapstick and it smells good too! That’s why Beautylish‘s peppermint gloss recipe, conveniently stored in an old Altoid tin, caught our eye.

14. Coconut rose lip balm

Did you really enjoy the sounds of the natural coconut oil recipe we were talking about earlier, but you still feel like you wouldn’t mind at least a little bit of scent, as long as it’s very natural? Then rose petals might be the missing link for you! They give off a subtle, sweet scent that’s not overwhelming but really refreshes things. My Baking Addiction shows you how to include them in your recipe in a beautiful way.

15. Coconut oil vanilla lip balm

Have you always found the smell of pure coconut oil just a little bit similar to the smell of vanilla? We have too! Since you have control over the recipe you choose, why not enhance that vanilla quality by actually adding vanilla into the mix? Radiant Life shows you how to do it in a quanity that’s pleasant rather than overwhelming or too sweet.

1. DIY sweater bracelet

Do you love knitting and crochet more than most other crafting techniques but you’ve never really considered those skills that would help you make jewelry? Well, A Bit of Sunshine is here to show you that you actually can make jewelry with your knitting needles or crochet hook! If you don’t actually knit or crochet but you just adore the look of yarn work jewelry, try using the basic techniques you’ll see in this tutorial but with upcycled pieces from old knitwear clothing instead!

2. Beaded wool brooch

Who knew making winter jewelry could use so many other diverse crafting skills? Here’s an idea for the felters in our midst! This wool brooch has been felted into a little circle, embroidered with black thread to look like branches, and beaded with tiny coloured seed beads. The finished product looks like a winter blossomed tree in a snow storm and we love it! Check it out in more detail on Tonyautkina.

3. DIY glitter ring

Winter is the perfect time for glitter because everything outside is already glittering in frost, ice, and snow! Just because you’re adding a touch of glitter to a look, though, doesn’t mean you have to get carried away. Sometimes a subtle sparkle, like this cute little DIY glittered ring, is all you need! Find out how to make your very own ring in any colour of glitter you like on A Splendid Assemblage!

4. DIY snowman earrings

Jewelry Making guides you through the process of making cute little dangling earrings of your very own that look like little snowmen! Their tutorial shows you how to curl jewelry wire and attach earring hooks to any type of bead, but if you’re already an experienced jewelry or bead maker, the possibilities for little Christmas characters would be endless!

5. Snowman bead earrings

In case beading is your real specialty when it comes to making jewelry, then here’s an adorable Christmas design for you! DIY Fashion shows you how to string beads in such a way that you create an adorable snowman shape, complete with little “coal” buttons down the front. Once you’ve got the technique down, imagine all of the different shapes you’ll be able to make!

6. Crystal snowflake earrings

Do you remember earlier when we were talking about how white and clear beading makes winter jewelry making fun because it looks like snow, frost, and ice? These adorable little dangling snowflake earrings by Atelier Workroom are exactly what we mean! We particularly enjoy that they used a contrast of the two to create a delicate design.

7. Christmas tree earrings

Can you tell that we have a particular fondness for dangling earrings when we craft our own jewelry? They’re just so much fun to both make and wear that we can’t resist showing you all of these adorable designs! For the sake of diversity, here’s another: adorable little wooden Christmas trees covered in tiny crystal “ornaments”. Check the design out in more detail on DIY Fashion!

8. DIY crystal wrap

Are you a huge fan of the idea of crafting your own Christmas jewelry but you’d rather something a little more subtly festive than something that screams “Christmas”? Then check out this simply pretty wrap bracelet design from Flax and Twine! As long as you’re comfortable with a little bit of very easy hand stitching, you’ll have created your own version in no time.

9. Sparkling gunmetal earrings

Sometimes it’s nice to wear jewelry that simply fits a more winter aesthetic rather than pieces that are openly Christmas themed. After all, the winter season lasts far longer than just December and the Christmas holidays! We enjoy wearing dark metals and pretty rich chromes during the winter, just like these fringey DIY chandelier earrings from Rings and Things.

10. DIY faux druzy necklaces

Druzy stones are a gorgeous touch no matter the season, but we find them particularly lovely in the winter, especially if you choose cool tones that complement the aesthetic and environment outside. Some authentic druzy pieces are expensive but, luckily for us, Minted Strawberry has found a way for you to make your own instead of breaking the bank! Check out their tutorial to learn how.

11. Candy cane bow necklace

Have you always enjoyed working with clay to create your very own shapes and custom designs? We fully understand the satisfaction that comes out of that! That’s why we loved this adorable wrapped clay bow necklace by Lines Across the second we saw it. We love the candy can effect they used here, but we also like that you could use a different clay or pattern and create a version that’s a little less seasonal too.

12. DIY gingerbread charm bracelet

Are you looking for a design that’s nice and easy to do with your kids while they’re home for the Christmas holidays? Then check out this simple Christmas charm bracelet idea from Rings and Things! They’ve used pre-made Christmas charms shaped like little gingerbread houses but the chain is custom sized and you can accent and embellish the space between the charms using whatever kinds of dangling beads you like most.

13. Christmas charm earrings

Do you like the pre-made charm idea above because you’ve actually been collecting little themed charms for years, but you’re not sure that wearing a charm bracelet really suits your personal style? Then check out these dangling charm collection earrings by Show Me Crafting! Whether you match the earrings perfectly or choose different charms for a more eclectic look, people’s eyes will be drawn to them immediately.

14. Peppermint earrings

Were you intrigued when we were talking about clay crafting earlier in this post but those designs just didn’t quite strike a cord with you? Perhaps you’d like to get a little more creative and try a swirling technique instead! That’s how 365 Days of Crafts created this adorable peppermint earring design. We love the way they contrasted the bright red of the peppermint with a cooler mint colour and white to really make you feel the winter festivity.

15. Silver branches bracelet

Have you been searching for a winter jewelry design to make yourself high and low but you haven’t found one that’s quite as natural as your personal style is? Novelty designs and bright colours are fun but it’s nice to try something a little more whimsical and subtle sometimes as well. That’s why we fell in love with this silver branches bracelet from All Free Jewelry Making! You might add many silver seed beads or only a few, depending on how much you want your “branches” to glisten.
