Throughout the quarantine, people have been doing whatever they can to pass the time. DIY's are a great way to do that, but they can get expensive if you have to go out and buy a lot of materials to do them.
One of the most popular DIY's to come out of this time is the bleached sweatpants and sweatshirt set, which can be pretty cheap if you shop at the right places, and can end up looking super cute and trendy!
However, that is not what this article is about. This article is about different self care and fun DIY's that you can do with things you probably already have laying around your house!
1. Egg White Face Mask
This face mask is super easy to make and really good for your skin! There are a few combinations for this face mask, most of them also including lemon juice as well. Check out this link for directions on how to do some of them!
2. Fruit Tie Dye
Buying the tie dye packs at the store can get really expensive really fast, just to use it one time and forget you ever bought it. A very good alternative to that could be using fruit you have that may be about to go bad or that you do not want to dye your clothes with! You can also use old shirts or any clothes you have laying around that you don't wear anymore rather than buying new ones. This video gives a great tutorial on the process of turning the fruit into dye as well as doing the actual shirt!
3. Egg White Hair Mask
Along with the benefits they have for your face, egg whites have been proven to be very good in strengthening and brightening hair as well! Check out this link on how to make a hair mask, as well as read about the benefits it can have.
4. Cardboard Bookmarks
Find any cardboard box you may have from old deliveries or purchases and decorate it to be a cute bookmark! All you need for this is the box and some paint and voila, now you're reading in style!
5. Soda Bottle Planters
Who doesn't love a cute holder for all of their little green friends? For this one, you need an old soda bottle, some paint, soil and seeds. Cut off the bottom of the bottle and start working on a cute little home for your plants!
After spending months at home, these are some good things to do to pass the time. It's also an added bonus that you come out the other end with something really cool and fun, or glowing skin and hair! Be sure to take into account what works for your skin and hair before trying any of this if you are sensitive to any of these products.
Help to pass some time and keep things interesting by trying some of these out today! I know I'm excited to show off my fruit sweatshirt next time I go outside.
