Sequin-Wrapped Bauble Ring featured on martha stewart
This technique is versatile.

Materials
•Wooden beads or foam balls
(Basically any round bead will work )
•Strung sequins
•Tacky white glue to glue sequins onto the bead ( You can use E-6000 for this project if using a bead only. Use tacky glue on styrofoam. Don’t use hot glue on styrofoam it will melt !)
napkin rings or ring base

Directions

1. Pull 1 or 2 sequins off the thread to create a lead end. Starting at the top of bead (or foam ball), secure lead end with a dab of glue.

2. Apply glue one section at a time, and adhere sequin strand, spiraling it tightly and applying pressure as you work. Leave bead holes open if you’ll be stringing them; otherwise, cover with sequins.

(If you plan to give this as a gift you may want to use ring base and use half of styrofoam ball to make it easy to glue onto the base E-6000 glue is best for that type of project)

Cookie Cutter Holiday Oranments featured on michelleroycroft
So this idea did not come with instructions but it seems easy to do.
Step 1. Cut out a small strip of paper wide enought to cover the outer shape of the cookie cutter with your favorite designs. You can create you own using photos or online images and print them out !
Step 2. Simply glue the small strip of paper. ( You can use mod podge (ideal to adhere and seal paper to metal ) or hot glue or industrial glue like E-6000 just test on a small metal and paper to not ruin your design)
Step 3. Make small ribbon bows and flowers. Play with different textures like felt, pearls, buttons and paper.

DIY Microdermabrasion by triplemaxtons
How to make your own exfoliating scrub. I did a little to be on the safe side and it turns out baking soda is old school beauty trick which also relieves redness of acne : )
Note do not exfoliate more than once a week it will irrate skin.
1.Grab some baking soda and some water.
2.Keeping a 3:1 ratio in mind (ex: 3 tablespoons baking soda and 1 tablespoon water), mix the baking soda and water into a toothpaste-like consistency.
3.Avoiding your eye area, gently rub the paste onto your face in small circular motions for about 1-2 minutes. The goal is to buff, not scratch the heck out of your epidermis.
4.Rinse the mixture off your face, being careful to avoid your eye area.
5.Apply a rich moisturizer. Marvel at your super soft and glowy skin, but don’t debut your new look to the outside world without slathering on sunscreen first. Really.
Alternative : For those shy of a concentrated baking soda mixture use one part baking soda mixed with two parts of ground oatmeal and water to make a great scrub for your face.
