Hello DIYers! In honor of the upcoming "The Hunger Games" movie, Mockingjay Part 2, coming out this month, today's DIY post is a DIY Katniss Everdeen Braid.

Split into three smaller chunks (1,2,3) #3. Take  chunk 1 and pull it under chunk 2. #4.  Then take chunk 3 and bring it under chunk 1. #5. Add some hair into chunk 2. #6.  Once you added the hair, you are going to then take group 2 and bring it under group 3. #7.  You are going to add Hair into group 1. Add in hair to the group that is being held between her fingers. Then Bring that under the braid. #8.  Keep adding hair into each group like you would for a french braid. Pull the groups under the braid and then over. You are basically reversing a french braid. #9. Continue this pattern all the way...

Hello DIYers! Today's DIY is DIY Milk Jug Halloween Ghosts. These are so easy to make, but not the cheapest Halloween decorations you could make, but anyways, let's get started! What you'll need: 1. Clearish/Whitish Milk Jug(s) 2. Black Sharpie 3. 3 battery-lit candles per jug 4. Sharp Knife Steps:  1. Draw ghost faces on the clear/whitish milk jug(s) with the black sharpie. 2. Make a small hole on the back of the jug with the knife (opposite side of the drawn-on face) WITH A PARENT'S SUPERVISION! 3. Turn on the fake candles, and slip them through the hole of the jug. 4. Put them outside on Halloween night! 5. After Halloween is over, don't forget to turn the candles off! NOTE: To make the ghost decor look more colorful, put in a few glow sticks in the cartons instead of fake candles! This is DEFINITELY much cheaper, but does not look like the traditional ghost- the choice is up to you! I hope you enjoyed this DIY tutorial! Have a HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Ha...
