Easier-than-you-think Holiday nails!

The photo's speak for themselves, so I don't think I need to write much, but one tip, MAKE SURE YOUR FIRST COLOUR IS SUPER DRY! Once you think they're dry, wait a few minutes, then place the Paper-Hole-Re-enforcer-Thing, and paint your second colour.

P.S. Sorry about the blury/bad photo's. My camera has a bad zoom.

Eco-Friendly, EASY, wrapping!

           Every year I wrap my gifts in newspaper because not only is that better for the environment, but I think it looks very vintage, and home-made; a nice break from a highly commercialized holiday season. This year I decided to go a bit further with the eco-friendliness, and creativity. Here's a point form list of what I did:

• The bags where given to me from other gifts, and then reused.
• Instead of tissue paper, I used newspaper scraps from wrapping the other gifts.
• NO TAPE! There is no tape on any of these gifts. Tape is not recyclable, but paper with glue on it is fine.
• Instead of ribbons, I used organic hemp. To make it a bit more esthetically pleasing I doubled the hemp. I just tied the ends of the hemp together, then wrapped it just like I would any ribbon.
• The little gift-tag was a piece of recycled paper. The design was a Word Business Card template that I simply modified.
