DIY Washi Tape

 There is this little boutique by my house that sells Washi Tape, and it takes all my self control not to buy it... It's way too expensive!

So here is a little recipe for Washi Tape that I wanted to show you guys here, because I'm too cheap to buy the real thing

What you need:

♥ Double Sided Tape

♥ Tissue paper

Or

♥ Napkins

It's really very easy, so I didn't take any photos of the process, but all you need to do is take a piece of tissue paper or napkin, and stick it onto the tape. Easy enough right?

If you want: You can draw onto your tissue paper... Just make sure that you don't spend too much time with the marker in one spot or it will bleed!

Tips and other stuff:

If you are using a napkin, make sure that you only use one layer of the napkin

Also...

This tape isn't exactly durable, just FYI :)

If you are in Canada, enjoy the long weekend!

To everyone else... fun taping!

First Aid Kit

My boyfriend, Alexander, likes to get hurt a lot

So I thought I would make him a first aid kit for his birthday!

First: I found this awesome hand made box from Chapters that was on sale for only 15$ (Here is the Link)

Next: I painted on a red cross with nail polish (Essie A-list) after carefully measuring and then laying down  tape so I could get a perfect cross

Finally: I filled it with lots of goodies! Since my mom is a doctor, she gave me a list of stuff that would be useful for him to have. Some of the supplies in the box included:

♥ Colourful band-aids

♥  Waterproof band-aids

♥ A pill vial (actually a stack-able bead storage container... Here is a link to get yourself one, but I just found mine at the dollar store) full of decongestants, Tylenol, and Antioxidant pills (you can get these in bulk at Costco) 

♥ Tensor Bandage

♥ Polysporin 

♥ Steri-strips 

♥ Normal Saline

♥ Gause

♥ Chlorhexidine 2% (Awesome anti-bacterial. No idea where my mom got this one)

♥ Et cetera...

Yay! Now he can at least take care of his gross infected cuts and other injuries!

Hopefully you guys are all healthy and happy too :)

♥ Olivia
