Crayon Candles!

As my second project involving crayons I decided to do something that I have a lot of in my house:)CANDLES!
My first attempt did not go well as I only shaved the crayons and then tried lighting the candle wick.As a result the wax and formed together as an ugly dark grey colour
My second attempt was much more successful :D

                                                     BEFORE.....

                                               AFTER!!!!!

1.Boil some water in a pan, ounce boiled place a plastic bowl over it.

2.Put some white crayons into the bowl and melt them as you would if you were melting chocolate:D(doesn't have to be white )

3.Ounce they are melted put the wax into an empty metal tea light holder, with the candle wick inside.

3.While it drys, pick another colour crayon and melt it, then put ontop of the white crayon.

4.Repeat this step ounce more with another colour.I decided to the colour of the irish flag and a one that was two shades of purple!, But you can do whatever colours you like!:D

5.Next you can either wait for it to dry or be inpatient like me and put it in a freezer:)

6.Ounce they are dry try lighting the candle wick and all should be good!:DYou can try taking the candle out of the metal holder if you wish but it will likely melt apart of you light it then!:)*note* another way of drying them is to do one coat of wax and then on the second one while its still hot and has not cooled down yet you put it under water so that the wax goes everywhere and dries !:)Heres an example!:D

And thats it!:)The only problem I had with this is that the candle wick doesn't tend to last long and burns out very quickly:(But other than that I hope you enjoyed:)Who would have guessed there'd be so any different uses for crayons!:D
If you have any more suggestions as to what I could do next with crayons please leave a comment or email me at Coolbeanz877@gmail.com !:D x Sarah x

CRAYON MELTING!!!!!!!!:D

This particular post is about me melting crayons LIKE A BOSS!!!!!:D
If you aren't bothered to go out and but a new packet of crayons, get a hot glue gun and a Canvas simply Use some old random crayons (doesn't matter what size!), PVA glue (doesn't matter what size!) and two pieces of cardboard stuck together with a white sheet stuck on top:)Follow the steps!!!!!
1. If your using random crayons then take the paper off of them and line them up in the order the colours go in the rainbow:)

2. If you have a hot glue gun use that to stick the crayons onto your cardboard / canvas , if not use PVA glue to stick them on and let it dry for a few minutes:)

3.  Okay ounce this is done get out the hottest hair dryer you have and plug it in.It is best to do the next step over newspapers or an old table!

4. Use the hairdryer to melt the crayons down , at first you should see the crayons "sweating" but then the wax should drip off of it:)Make sure you get all the crayons melted before you're happy with it!:D

5. When your happy with the wax leave it to dry for a minute or two before you take pictures!:)

And that's it an easy 5 step way to melt some crayons LIKE A BOSS!

Hope you enjoyed here's a picture of me with my crayon masterpiece!;) x sarah x

My favourite sweets/candy:)

#1:Rainbow drops:
Rainbow Drops are still sold today.
They were made in England and were cereal-type maize sweets made by a company called Swizzels Matlow.The colours vary from orange,blue,pink,green and yellow and the best part is that they have sugar coated around them!And if that isn't enough, they're suitable for vegans! What's not to like???? They are mostly sold in bags of 80 g, 25 g or 10 g.If you were to buy an 80g bag, it contains 215 calories.This is my ALL TIME favourite sweet!!!!!

#2:Skittles:

Skittles are fruit flavoured sweets.In Ireland they only sell ones that are flavoured strawberry,orange,lime,lemon and blackcurrant which really sucks:p They are currently made by Wrigley Company.They're hard on the outside but chewy on the inside.They have a white ''s'' at the front to show that they're skittles because its easy to get mixed up with skittles and m&m's.The colours we have over here are red,green,yellow,purple and orange:)I never tried them but I heard that over in America they sell Tropical and Wild Berry:)

#3:Fruit Pastilles:

Fruit Pastilles are jellys that are small and circular.They have sugar coated all over them.You don't have to feel guilty because they're made with 100% fruit juice!They have no artificial colours or flavours!The flavours consist of lemon(yellow),lime(green),strawberry(red),blackcurrant(purple) and orange(orange).Now they make ice pop versions and they've become quite popular nowadays:)

#4:Jelly Tots:

Jelly Tots are soft but chewy fruit flavoured jellys.The are made by Rowntree's.Jelly Tots have no gelaton so Vegans can eat them:)Back then they only sold them in the United Kingdom but now they also sell them in places like Ireland,Canada and even South Africa!

#5:Tooty fruitys:

Tooty Fruitys are those little flat colourful cubes that are hard on the outside but so soft and fruity on the inside!I'll always remember these as my childhood sweet because I used to have them at my Birthday Partys:)

Fall trends forcast 2012:)

#1:Metallics-I think Metallic should be in all year round because 
you can purchase both bright and dark metallics.I think the best metallic pieces you could get are jeans,oversized jumpers,blazers, and nail polish.You can obviously pick whichever color you want;)

#2:It may be hard to believe but lace is also a trend for fall! You may think they're just for summer but they're not so don't put them away yet!You just need to pair them with a pair of tights but still keep the colours neuteral.Now as most of us know, lace isn't very easy on your wallet so if your a cheapy (hehe like me!) I'll leave some links at the bottom if you'd like to do it yourslef.Lace is beautiful but you don't want to overpower it with other textures so keep it toned down so your outfit is focused around the lace shorts not your checkered shirt!

#3:Denim on denim:)Yep you heard it, denim layered on denim!I
think the pieces that are really cute and girly would be denim rompers,denim waistcoats,denim shorts and of course denim jeans!I would wear a denim shirt with denim shorts and black vans maybe???? If you don't want to go all out there then you could always wear a bright tank top underneath the denim shirt and leave it unbuttoned for an effortless look:)

#4:Tribal:Tribal has also been a big summer trend but that doesn't mean it can't be a fall trend.The good thing about wearing tribal print is that if you wear it throughout your whole outfit you will still look put together because most tribal prints come in the same colours:)I would wear a tribal print bodycon skirt paired with a black v-neck, some simple wedges, and any solid colored jacket:)

How to wear your birthstone!:)

Everyone has a birthstone and I think its such a cute idea to wear it!:)My birthstone is Peridot which is a pale green colour because i was born in August:)Lucys birthstone is Sapphire which is a blue colour:)If you don't know what your birthstone is just look at the picture below!: Some birthstone rings are meant to bring you good luck, but if jewelry isn't your thing you can always wear the colour of your birthstone instead!:)

On the Wikipedia page for birthstones it gives a small verse for each stone/month!There are also other birthstones you might want to check out:)Heres the link for the page!:)

Anyway I thought I'd give you some ideas as to how you could wear your birthstone or the colour of it:)

1.               In a lot of jewelers you can get your birthstone as a necklace, bracelet , a ring(Very common as it is meant to bring luck) or earrings:)
2.            You could paint your nails the colour for example I could paint my nails a pale green:) 
3.                 You could wear your colour of the birthstone as anything really!It could be a t shirt leggings heck you can wear your underwear the colour if it makes you happy!
4. You could do your eye make up as the colour like green eye shadow etc!
5. If you wanted to subtly wear the colour of your birthstone you could wear it as a bobbin, clip hairband , scarf or socks!:)

Thats all!I hope your birthstone brings to great luck and please feel free to comment if you have any other ways on how to wear your birthstone!:) xxx Sarah xxx
