{DIY} Home made Sugar Scrub

I don't know if this counts as a craft, but it is defiantly DIY! Easy Peasy sugar scrub that makes your skin lovely and silky.

A couple of tablespoons of brown or raw sugar (brown is pictured)

A couple of tablespoons of olive oil.

Mix together.

You can make larger quanities if you like, I'm not sure how long it keeps, but I guess quite a while!

If you like making your own beauty projects, I suggest trying this lip stain tutorial from PatchworkCactus. Then bookmark her page because she has a super cool blog.

I hope you enjoy both projects.

how to crochet a heart {in one round}

This craft tutorial first featured on my personal blog.

I thought it would be fitting to start off my craft blog by posting it here.

These mini hearts are done in one round, so you can whip out a few in an evening. I used 8ply in the example, which is also known as DK, or light. I tend to think of it as 'regular'. This was also done with a 4mm hook (G size)

This pattern assumes some basic crochet knowledge, but dont worry if you are a beginner, over the next few weeks I will be adding basic instructions to help out. Pin it, and come back!

OK... Here it is:

Chain 4, then (without doing a slip stitch) work all the round in the first chain: 3 dtr, 3tr, 1ch, 1dtr, 1 ch, 3tr, 3 dtr, 3 chains sl st in the centre, fasten off.

How easy is that!

That is the UK terminology, and because I am feeling nice, here is the US version:

Chain 4, then (without doing a slip stitch) work all the round in the first chain 3 tr, 3 dc, 1 ch, 1tr, 1ch, 3dc, 3tr. 3 chains Sl st in the centre, fasten off.



If you ever need help with conversion, this is an easy chart I made.
