PRINT MY WALL PRETTY

My final print. 

CREATION: Wall Art Prints

SUPPLIES:

• Photocopy (Xerox print)
• Acetone 
• Graphite pencil
• Rugged looking paper
• Frame
• Paper towels
• Tape

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Get your piece of rugged looking paper and place the photocopy face down on top of it on a flat surface.
2. Tape down the sides of the photocopy so it doesn't shift during the transfer. 
3. Grab a paper towel and pour the acetone on it, then press down firmly and rub the back of the photocopy with it. 
4. Once covered with Acetone, quickly rub the back of the paper with the pencil (the back of the photocopy should be covered with graphite when finished). 
5. Lift up a corner of the photocopy and make sure it transferred, if not rub it harder with the graphite. 
6. Remove the photocopy and look at your beautiful print.
7. Place it in a frame, hang it on the wall and smile.



Pick out a picture you like and get it
photocopied a couple times in case
you mess up.

If you don't have a can of Acetone, grab a
little bottle of Acetone in the nail polish
remover section.

Once I finished, I put the print in a frame and added it
to my collection of frames on the wall.

You can also experiment with cardboard, I transferred
several prints to one sheet of cardboard
to make a montage.

SALT SCRUB FOR THE TUB

It's time to relax, take a deep breath, and make your skin silky smooth.

WHAT TO MAKE: Organic Lavender Sea Salt Scrub 

RECIPE:

• 1 Cup Fine Sea Salt (don't use simple iodized table salt)
• 1/2 Cup Grapeseed Oil or Sweet Almond Oil (i used grapeseed oil which gives it a green tint... almond oil won't give it a green tint)
• 1Tbl dried lavender ( i got mine at Earth Fare for 46 cents)
• 16 drops lavender oil 
• Jar with sealable lid
• Spoon 
• Measuring Cups 
• Scoop

This is what you need... You can find the sea salt at Earth Fare for $4, the oil for $8, and lavender buds for 46 cents. I already had the lavender oil but if you have to buy it, it costs around $8. And you'll have leftovers so you can double the recipe or make more later!

STEPS:

After you add the grapeseed oil, look at the
consistency and add more oil if needed.

1. Grab your jar and add the sea salt.
2. Now, add the oil.
3. Stir.
4. Add lavender buds.
5. Add lavender oil.
6. Stir.
7. Seal the jar lid and let sit for one hour.
8. Add the scoop, jump in the tub, and enjoy.

Add lavender buds, this will give the salt scrub more aroma
and color. I got the buds in the bath section of Earth Fare,
just get a tablespoon and it won't be expensive.

Add lavender oil for a soothing and relaxing
aroma.

 

I wrapped hemp around my jar to finish it off.

Add a scoop so you can easily scoop out the salt scrub.

HINT: I put hemp around my jar and tied a pretty bow. This gives the salt scrub and jar a complete and classic organic feel.

IDEA: You can use smaller jars, fill them completely up, tie hemp around the jar, and give the salt scrub as a gift... someone's birthday, mother's day, or if you are so excited you can't wait, you could be extra nice and give an Easter gift.

Have fun and enjoy.
