Love the floor-to-ceiling glass doors and that white butterfly chair next to the navy lounge 🌿 Perfect for lazy afternoons with a book.

Teens: Stop Using Hot Glue for Every DIY Craft (Try This Instead)

The biggest mistake I see with DIY crafts for teens is using hot glue on everything. It won’t stick well to fabric, plastic, or smooth surfaces, and it often peels off within days. Instead, try tacky glue for porous materials or super glue for non-porous items. Your projects will last way longer. Save this tip for your next craft session!

Toilet paper flower DIY: avoid this beginner mistake when crafting flowers from toilet paper

Toilet paper flower DIY: avoid this beginner mistake when crafting flowers from toilet paper

Making flowers from toilet paper is easier than it looks, but the biggest mistake I see beginners make is skipping the layering step. Without enough petals, your flower looks flat and flimsy. For full, realistic blooms, tear the TP into at least 6-8 squares per flower and twist each layer separately. Add a dab of glue at the base to hold the shape. This simple trick gives soft, petal-like flowers perfect for home decor. Try it with your kids for a fun weekend craft! 🧻🌸
