Finally- the Perfect Recipe!

You may or may not know that I am too...um, let's say, "frugal," to buy deco sauce. I make my own instead. When making sauces for drizzling on my charms, I mix glue and food coloring. It's pretty effective and very very price-friendly. However, more often then not, I need to make chocolate sauce. Sounds simple, right? Well, it is, except brown is a really difficult color to concoct. Add too much of one color and you might end up with a muddy  green or orange or purple. Here's a video on how to make the perfect color brown (chocolate- courtesy of Carie Shott and her awesomeness). There will be cases when you follow the recipe, and the mixture ends up green. All you have to do is shake it some more to make the brown. You may double/triple/half the recipe as you wish. Please enjoy!

Plus, exciting news- I recently opened up a Pintrest and Youtube account. You're welcome to check them out!

Mustache Waffle Sandwich Charm

Here's a video on how to make your own Mustache Waffle Sandwich Charm. I made mine a little bigger than I usually do, so I think I'll turn mine into a necklace charm with a chain necklace.

Did you notice? I finally have new background music! Plus, I tried to cut out all of the parts of the tutorial where I was out of shot and boring, but there's probably still some. Bar with me guys! This is my 4th post today. It's like I've been holding off on video tutorials on so long, they all have to release at one time.(: Anyways, as always, I hope you enjoyed my novelties, and please take a moment to subscribe or give me feedback/comments. Thanks everybody. Have a fabtabulous day- this is my last post today.

Clay Wars Charm Update #1

Smoothie Charm...WIneglass Base Follow Up

Here's a sample drink charm that I made, using the wineglass as the base. Back to good old step by step instructions! Here we go...

Yeah, sort of sideways there.

1. Roll a piece of pink clay out. Roll a thinner piece of white and coil it to emulate a "whipped cream topping" look. 
2. Hotglue one end of the pink cord into the top of the wineglass. Use your thumb to roll the pink stuff and the wineglass to fit the smoothie onto the glass. Hotglue the fitting whipped cream. 
3. Take a rectangle of tape, and cut off the ragged edges. 
4. Wrap the tape around the smoothie kind of snugly to form the cup. Cut off excess tape- do not just keep wrapping around the smoothie with the extra tape or you will end up with a messy cup!
5. Stick in an eyepin and a jump ring to finish off your amazing charm!

How were your experiences with this new (or old) technique? Leave much appreciated comments down below!

Tastykake® Kandy Bar Kakes

http://www.tastykake.com/ is the Kandy Bar Kakes' official website.

Products reviewed below (S'Mores Kandy Bar Kakes) courtesy of Influenster.

TastyKake claims the following: Let's see if it's true.

Kandy Bar Kakes are the best of both worlds. Light and fluffy chocolate enrobed cakes come in a unique kandy bar shape with a delicious créme filling made with your favorite candy flavors. Available in S'mores, Peppermint, and Peanut Butter flavor.

Let's see if it's true. My sister and I ate a S'mores flavored Kandy Bar Kake right after coming home from a beach trip, so we were horribly starving. Even then, I noticed some of the cake's flaws. First of all, the bread parts enveloping the creme were a bit dry. Secondly, the bread was mega sweet! TOO MUCH SUGAR! I couldn't really taste any of the cracker bits on the top of the cake. I like the creme- it was very light and fluffy. Plus, the snack was amazingly soft and easy to digest. The thing that struck me the most about this cake was how similar tasting it was to Twinkies! In my opinion, Twinkies and similar assorted cakes from the Little Debbie brand are much more yummy in terms of sugar and flavor. My final say about the product is that it needs to work on the recipe a bit before selling more. I give the snack cake from TastyKake a C.
My recommendations for the devouring of the cake is to eat only one forth of it a time. Plus, have some milk nearby so you don't have to suffer ts dryness...read more read more read more read more read more!!!!

Make Your Own Wineglass!

Yah me for finally making this video- I've been meaning to since last year! Anyways, are you guys- talking to you charm makers- ever tired of not being able to make those really pretty drink/dessert charms that are in a clear glass? Well, I was! In this video, tutorial, I'll show you how to create that glass and overcome your charm fears and obstacles! Maybe not the last part, but... The drink itself/the yogurt/ice cream/fruit toppings will come later in newer Summer tutorials!

P.S. The glass color depends on the tape and hot glue you decide to use. You'll understand once you watch the video below.

On a completely irrelevant note, I have been promising a big bunch of scrapbook pages but haven't done any- if any- paper crafts this year. OK guys, the good news is that I finished the pages (all 40), and the scrapbook is sitting on my desk right now. However, it was the first time I ever attempted to do such a big project- I usually stuck to cards. I was trying to make an overview video, but then I thought if I go back and post pictures to make separate "instructional" type posts, that would be boring. I haven't done anything about the scrapbook yet because, I don't know what to do. Hmm...
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the tutorial (was this the first video on this blog? If so, YAH. I lost track because I posted a bunch of videos on my beauty blog) and have a cool day. See everyone next post!
