DIY- Dreamcatchers



I Love dreamcatchers. I think they are so unique and beautiful and represent a piece of my heritage that makes me love them even more. I took a personal day to unwind and relax yesterday, and nothing makes me relax more than crafting!

A few summers ago I made a point to learn how to make these and I was so surprised to learn how easy it was! I love the traditional leather wrapped and feather versions, but I quickly learned that that gets expensive fast. After a quick trip to the dollar store, I found these grape vine wreaths that look just as great.

 Here are a few images that show how easy it really is. 

To get started you will want to wrap your dream catcher in leather or string, or just use a grape wreathe, like the ones pictured above.

Then all you need to learn is the stitch and repeat until you reach the center. You can add beads and other trinkets as you please.

Then just knot the middle, add some hanging embellishments as you wish, then you are done!.

Jamberry Nail Art Studio

This spring Jamberry debuted a customized nail art program called nail art studio. Have you ever been on pinterest and saw some amazing nail art that you wish you could do, but in your attempt, it looks like you let your 3 year old niece have a hay-day on your fingers?  I think we all have been there!

Nail Art Studio is easy as 1,2,3. Just snap a pic of your favorite image or design inspiration, upload it to NAS, move/shrink to fit, and buy!

These customized wraps can be used to match your favorite rug, put your kids squishy little face on your hands, or even be used for a school fundraiser! To top it off, they are applied exactly the same way as any other Jamberry nail-just use heat and pressure!

Check out NAS here!

How to Apply Jamberry Nails

Application Instructions

To apply Jamberry, you need just a few tools:
A blow dryer or personal mini heater
cuticle pusher
scissors
nail clippers
nail file
alcohol wipes or nail polish remover (without moisturizers)

Instructions:
-Prep you nails like you would for any normal manicure. Push back your cuticles, file and shape your nails.
-Clean unpolished nails with alcohol or nail polish remover
-open your Jamberry Nails package and match the nail (finger or toe) to the wrap that best fits. It should not touch any of your skin. If the wrap doesn't perfectly fit your nail you can cut it down, but a smaller wrap will stay on much longer if it doesn't touch any skin.
-Peel nail wrap off clear backing and warm with blow dryer or mini heater for 3-5 seconds or until the shield becomes soft and flexible. You will begin to see this change pretty quickly. If you over heat the wrap, it will curl up on its self and become unusable.
-When warm, press the wrap onto the nail. Smooth down the center of your nail with a cuticle pusher, then smooth down the sides.
-apply firm pressure around the edges to adhere the wrap to the nail.
-use cuticle pusher to seal the wrap around the base of the cuticle.
-trim the top with scissors and trim wrap to remove excess.
-apply heat and pressure to the wrap again until it is bonded to the nail. This is the best time to smooth out any bubbles with your cuticle pusher.
-Trim off any remaining excess wrap at the top of your nail with clippers. You can also file in a downward motion to smooth out the nail edge.

The Story of Jamberry Nails

The story of Jamberry Nails begins with three sisters. After an expensive afternoon together at the nail salon, Lyndsey, Christy and Keri vowed to find a simpler, more cost effective way to keep their hands looking polished, while still spending time together.

After lots of trial and error, Jamberry Nails launched in late 2010. The DIY, at-home application and incredible variety of designs caught on quickly and sales soared. A new era of nail art was born through in home parties and vendor fairs.
Our apply-at-home nail wraps are made from an innovative material, that doesn't chip, doesn't have to dry and doesn't require a trip to the salon.
