Summer Bucket List DIY's - Guest Post 4

 I happen to be big on bucket lists. Frankly, I’m big on lists in general, but especially bucket lists. I actually run a bucket list account on Instagram, if any of you are interested the username is @forever_bucketlist   J
Anyway, back to my bucket listing, people always talks about their dream summers and all the cool things they want to do, so I figured why not take some initiative and create a list of MUST-DOs and fun DIYS. Here you go:
·      Make my own Capri-suns:

o   What you’ll need:
§  Lemonade (or other fruit drink)
§  Mini Ziploc bags
§  Straws
o   Freeze the lemonade in the Ziploc bags
o   Freeze until almost solid (or fully solid if you’re traveling with them)
o   Squeeze the bags (you can also hit them with a metal spoon) so the consistency is a little more like a slushy
o   Insert straw
o   Enjoy! You can take them to the beach, to the pool, or just keep them in your yard

·      Colors of the wind… but actually

o   If you paint the primary colors on a fan you get the coolest effect ever! Since I only have fans (no AC L) I am definitely trying this!

·      Homemade nail stickers

o   Have you ever wanted to do really cool nail designs but they’re just too hard? (Wow, I sound like an infomercial). Here’s the solution:
o   Paint the nail designs you want onto a Ziploc bag, let them dry and then peel them off.
o   Just stick them onto your nails and add a layer of topcoat, you’re good to go!

Other ideas:
o   Sunscreen tattoos:
o   Just put sunscreen in a specific shape on your body and leave it there while you tan. At the end of the day you’ll have a heart/star/infinity/whatever shaped patch of light skin on some various body part
o   Make a glitter jar:
o   Just Modge Podge the inside of a jar and cover the inside with glitter. Boom, a cool desk ornament.
o   Stud a pair of sneakers! All you need is studs, fabric glue, and toothpick to apply the glue to the shoes.
