No Gravity Hairstyle

Today I will be showing you how to do my No Gravity Hairstyle. It is so easy! I love it.

First you'll need wire. Since my hair is brown, I got brown wire. I think it's actually some sort of floral decorating tool, but wire should work fine. Also, for a better hold, use two strands of wire and just act as if they're one. Or you could use three strands and put one in each section.

To begin, take one piece of wire or the floral thing and cut it longer than your hair, but not too long. (Like 5 inches longer). Then, fold the end over and twist it, so that it won't poke you. 
Now to the braiding. Divide your hair into 3 sections, but put your wire in the middle strand with the top of the wire by your ear. Then do a regular braid all the way down and secure it with an elastic. 
Then fold the excess of the wire in half and stick the top in the elastic so it stays, after that, twist the hair through the hole we made with the fold.

Then all you do is take the braid and bend it up! There are so many things you could do with this. I think it looks like the Wendy's restaurant logo. Here are some things you could do with it. Of course, you'd need to use bobby pins or something where I was holding.

Bow Bookmarks

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. 
Today, I'll teach you how to make Bow Bookmarks. They're super cute, good for school, and so easy and quick!
First, you'll need ribbon or rickrack (about a hand length), a paper clip, and a pipe cleaner, wire, twist tie, or something of that nature.

To begin, take your ribbon and  form it into sort of an upsidedown triangle shape.
Then, scrunch down the center to make a bow shape. After that, use the pipe cleaner, etc. to secure the shape by folding it around a few times, leaving tails pointing down. Slide the paper clip up in between the tails of the pipe cleaner, then twist the tails with each other, then as one, wrap around the middle of the bow to make sure the paper clip won't fall off. 

Since I like how my bookmark looks with the pipe cleaner, I left it alone, finished. If you don't like the look of the wire you used, cut another piece of ribbon about 5 cm long, wrap it over the center, and use a dab of hot glue on the back.

And you're done! Have fun reading!
