DIY Wallflower Temporary Tattoo
An excerpt from “DIY Temporary Tattoo Art, Easy Step-by-step Instructions for Watercolor, Henna, Flash Tattoos and More!” by K. L. CAO.

Materials
—Scissors
—Wallflowers template (click here to download) copied onto 8.5″ x 11″ temporary tattoo paper
—1 – 2 make-up wedges

1. Use scissors to carefully cut out each flower, working as precisely as you can.

2. Take one of the cut-out flowers and remove the clear film from the tattoo paper. Place the paper sticky side down on any flat surface of the body where you will have enough room to place all the flowers in your design. (I chose the top back of the shoulder as my starting point.) Press gently to make sure the tattoo adheres to the skin. Repeat to create your first layer of flowers.

3. Soak a makeup wedge in water and shake off excess. Gently dab the backing of the tattoos with the wedge until the paper is saturated.

4. Gently peel the backing away from the tattoos to reveal the images.

5. Repeat application as many times as needed in order to fill in any gaps. In between each application make sure the skin is dry before adding on another layer of tattoos. Once all the tattoos are dry, head out the door and get ready to stand out.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we often find that it’s difficult to find non-edible gifts that don’t feel cheesy or silly (drug store teddy bears, we’re looking at you). It’s especially tricky to find cute gifts for non-romantic loves that you want to surprise with something sweet–friends, sisters, mom–without going the classic potted plant or candy route. Cue this Rose Hibiscus Whipped Body Butter. Inspired by the classic dozen roses of Valentine’s Day, this simple DIY smells great and is a breeze to make. It’s even cost effective so you can make a large batch and spread the love come Valentine’s Day.

-Glass jar with lid (we used a 7.4 oz Weck Tulip Jar)
-1 Tsp. Almond Oil
-1 Cup Coconut Oil
– Brewed Hibiscus Tea
– Rose Absolute Essential Oil
– Hand or Stand Mixer
– 3 Tbsp. White Sugar, Divided (Optional–for sugared rose petal)

body butter step 3
body butter step 4

3. Add a few drops of hibiscus tea for color (you can add more later to adjust color while mixing).

4. Drop in Rose Absolute Essential Oil until you have desired fragrance strength. (We used about 8 drops).

body butter step 5

5. With a hand or stand mixer, whip mixture for approximately ten minutes until mixture becomes fluffy and forms peaks. This requires a bit of patience–just when you don’t think it’s working, it becomes fluffy and airy so hang in there. It’s worth the wait! Add to glass container when it’s whipped.

Sugared Rose Petals

The next steps are for making sugared rose petals top top your body whip for decoration. If you don’t want to add these, you’re finished! If you do, follow the next steps:

body butter step 6

6. Bring two Tbsp. of white sugar and 2 Tbsp. of water to a boil and stir until sugar is melted. This is your simple syrup to get sugar to stick to rose petals. Allow syrup to cool and dip roses petals in syrup.

body butter step 7

7. Sprinkle with white sugar and allow them to dry overnight. Top your whipped body butter with rose petal and enjoy!
