Homemade Natural Hairspray + Free Printable Label

Blog, DIY, DIY Health/Home, Essential Oils, Green Living, Home/ Beauty Printables, Printables

Can you boil water? If the answer is yes then you have the skills required to make hairspray from home!  Not only is it simple to make but it is also inexpensive and made with natural ingredients you probably already have in your home.  By making your own hairspray you will be avoiding all the nasty chemicals found in store bought hairsprays.

I honestly do not wear hairspray very often but when I do I want to use a product that is natural and non-toxic. What better way to know exactly what I’m putting on my hair then by making those products myself.  I discovered how easy it is to make a homemade & natural hairspray and best of all it works great! Now I’m sharing how simple it is to make hairspray with you and of course a cute label to go on your bottle because I love to make cute labels for everything!

DIY Mad Scientist Costume and Scientist Badge Free Printable

Blog, DIY, Kids Printables, Party Ideas, Party Printables, Printables, School & Teacher Gifts Printables

My oldest son is all about DIY Halloween costumes and this year he decided to be a Mad Scientist!  We had most of the supplies needed to put together this awesome DIY Mad Scientist Costume.  The Mad Scientist Costume is a really easy costume to put together last minute too.  

DIY Mad Scientist Costume and Scientist Badge Free Printable

The only things I purchased was a lab coat found at the thrift store for $0.50, fake mustache and some plastic test tubes on Amazon for $5.  

DIY Mad Scientist Costume – What you need:

  • slacks/pants
  • button up dress shirt
  • bow tie
  • safety goggles
  • lab coat
  • hair gel for crazy hairdo
  • scientist badge (free printable below)
  • badge holder and clip
  • glasses (optional)
  • fake mustache (optional)
  • charcoal dust (optional)
  • test tubes or beakers (optional)

DIY Mad Scientist Costume and Scientist Badge Free Printable

How we put our DIY Mad Scientist Costume together: 

My son already had black slacks and a grey button up shirt. Little brother owned a bow tie that fit him.  He already owned fake glasses but if you don’t I suggest getting some 3-d glasses and removing their lenses.  I usually keep our 3-D glasses when we go to the movies.  Safety goggles came from grandpa’s work shop.  The lab coat size small was found at thrift store.  If you can’t find a lab coat at your thrift store you can make one from an adult white button up shirt.  Fake mustache was found at the grocery store and plastic test tubes from Amazon.  

I filled the test tubes with colored water.  We opted for an explosion went off look and used our activated charcoal capsules; I opened the capsules and smudged it all over his face.  You could use black face paint instead but the the charcoal dust looks more authentic, in my opinion.

Free Printable Scientist Badge:

I designed an official looking Scientist badge with help from my son.  I printed, cut out and taped it to an old work badge (you can find badge holders & clips at most stores or Amazon).  We loved the way the badge turned out!  I am sharing this badge with you too!  

Some options for the badge is print a picture of your child to put over the fingerprint.  Also, you can either write in your child’s name or use an editing program to type in their name.  To add text you will need to save the file and open it in an editing program. First, download and save the pdf file.  Then you will need to open the file in a program like Adobe Reader or Word, and add text box(s) to add your text to the badge(s). 

This badge would be great for your DIY Mad Scientist costume for Halloween, dress-up play or for a Scientist Themed party.  I think these badges would make a great party favor!  I have shared a printable with 1 badge on the page and a printable with 9 badges on the page (for parties).

Teacher Gift Card Holder Post Card Free Printable – First Day or Blank Card for Teacher Appreciation, Holidays or Anytime!

Blog, DIY, For Gifts Printables, Kids Printables, Printables, School & Teacher Gifts Printables

I love a DIY and creative teacher gift as much as any crafty person does but sometimes it just feels right to give them a gift I know they will use for sure….a gift card!  I have heard from several that Teachers love gift cards as gifts! Why? Because they can buy supplies they need for the class or if you give them a restaurant gift card they can use it for a yummy treat.   To make the act of giving a gift card a little more special I created a post card gift card holder and I am sharing it with you!  There are 2 versions of the printable; one with, “Happy First Day of School” message and a blank post card.  The blank post card can be used anytime during the school year; for teacher appreciation week, their birthday, holidays and as an end of the year gift.  

Your child can write a special note to their teacher and even draw a picture on the back of the post card!  Notice the 2015-2016 school year postage stamp, super cute detail!  2 post cards per page. 

I recommend printing on card stock paper.  I used brown kraft cardstock paper for mine!
