It´s Strawberrylicious!

Looking for a fun and fast dessert to make for a snack? Well, chocolate dipped strawberries are a delicious snack that is quick and easy. I'll be showing you a quick way how to make them and spice it up with a fall look!

Supply List:

1. 2 cups of medium-large strawberries (18-20)
2. ½ cup of  Chocolate Chips
3. 1 teaspoon of shortening
4. Sheet of wax paper

Step 1: Gather all of your ingredients together. Rinse off the strawberries and let them dry completely.

Step 2:  Use a small saucepan to melt your chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of shortening . Set the heat on low and stir it often so that the chocolate chips will melt evenly. Once it is all smooth looking and completely melted remove from the heat.

Step 3: Take a strawberry and place it's lower half into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip back into the saucepan and set it on the wax sheet to put on the sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.

Step 4:  Place the strawberries into the fridge for about 2 hours and let them harden.

Making the strawberries was fun and easy! A little advice, when you make this have a spoon handy. That will help shape the chocolate onto the strawberry. Other than that, the project is easy and tastes good after all the work!  I hope you liked this fast and

easy recipe. Enjoy!

How to Make a Good Quality Locker Decoration

By: Kassidy Kerr

---

Supplies:

• Glitter paper (or any paper you would like)
• Scissors
• Stickers
• Hot glue (you can use Elmer’s but I feel hot glue works better)

---

So the reason I am choosing to show how to do this is because I once was one to scroll through Google, Pinterest, and blogs but could not find anything that I liked! So I feel that this is very helpful to anyone that makes locker decorations. Let’s just jump right in!

---

First, all you need to do is cut your paper to the size you would like. I like to measure mine! After you measure it, you can trim down the pieces if they are too big! While I cut the paper I also cut little squares in a different color.

---

After that you can turn the paper over and start gluing on the squares in any position you would like! I then put the stickers on the squares and because it’s football season I put the number too. After you have put the name and number on, you can add any stickers or decorations you want.

I hope this helped anyone wanting to find a more interesting locker sign/decoration!

Cute back to school hairstyle:

Knotted Headband Braid

How many of you remember going back to school and trying to look extra fabulous? You pick out a cute outfit, you pack up all your sparkly school supplies, and to top it all off you decide to try a new hairstyle. You go to your mirror and decide to do a fancy little bun with a braid around it and a flower headband. You’re convinced that everyone will think you’re the most stylish and creative. But as you walk into your first class and take a seat you look around and notice 3 other girls with basically the same “unique” hair style as you! Turns out you weren’t the only person with the same idea in mind. Are you bored of looking the same as every other girl at your school and want to stand out. Then this is the perfect back to school hairstyle for you! Not only is it a quick style but it also will keep your hair off of your face but keep you looking elegant.

Supplies needed:

• Hair brush
• Rat-tail comb
• An alligator clip
• 2 bobby pins
• 1 small hair elastic
• 1 Hair band
• Spray bottle with water

Steps:

1. First step is to part the hair in the area you want the braid to start and then section off the half front of your hair.  Then you’re going to want to take the rest of your hair and put it in a ponytail so it’s out of the way.

2.) After that you’re going to take your spray bottle and dampen the sectioned area of hair.

3.) Now starting at the hair closest to your part you’re going take the end of your comb and section off a small piece of hair, once you’ve sectioned that off you’re going to part your hair into 2 pieces.

4.) Next take the left piece of hair and cross it over the right piece and pull the end of the left piece through the right and then tighten it. You could compare this to tying your shoelaces. Then just lay the pieces flat across the head and forehead. ( You can also ask whoever’s hair you’re doing to hold down the front pieces as this will come in handy later. )

5.) You’re going to want to repeat that step 2 more times now and each time you can pull the other ties you’ve made and re tighten them to make sure they don’t come undone.

6.) Now we're going to take that first piece we used on the left and lay it under the other 2 strands and then take the remaining 2 strands on top and pin them down using your alligator clip.

7.) Next you’re going to repeat the processes you did in step 3 and 4 but this time when you section off your small piece of hair you’re going to include that front piece you just crossed under. Also do this with the front piece on the other side of the forming braid. Then you’re just going to take the 2 pieces and tie them like you did in step 4.

10.) Now you’re going to want to keep repeating steps 3 and 4, sectioning off hair, making 2 pieces, and tying it off until your braid goes far enough down the top of your head as you want or until you

run out of hair.

11.) Once your braid is complete you’re going to want to take your small elastic band and tie off the braid.

12.) At this point you can now take the rest of your hair out of the ponytail and let it fall around the

braid.

13.)  Then you’re going to take your 2 bobby pins and pin the end of the braid down behind your ear.

14.) If your braid looks small and you want it to be bigger you can always pull on pieces and the sides of the braid to loosen it up a bit.

And there we are! You now have styled your very own knotted headband braid that is sure to be a unique hit style at your school. As you continue to do this style you can also experiment with different hair accessories and styles that could match any event like sports, a date, or just for fun. I hope you enjoy your braid and remember to keep experimenting!
