Why use everyday boring highlighters,
when in just a few seconds,
you can turn your highlighter into a rainbow
or a super pretty ombre
watercolor.
To make the rainbow highlighter
take a
blue and yellow and pink highlighter.
Take the pink and color one corner,
then take the blue and color the other corner, leaving a bit of yellow in the middle
Blue will run into the yellow, create green
The pink will run into the yellow, and create orange
and it will just blend and yeah!
It will make a pretty rainbow!
And to make the ombre version,
I'm taking the pink and blue highlighter,
using the blue to color the pink highlighter.
The trick is to always color the lighter highlighter color.
At this point you may just get like a two-toned highlighter.
And then all you need to do is,
either dip your highlighter into some water very quickly,
or run it through the tap very quickly,
and then dab the water off with a tissue
And this will make it look like a watercolor
and much lighter than it normally is.
Or you can just draw vertically up and down,
until the colors mix together
You can also use this water trick to make any
of your highlighters that are too dark,
a little bit lighter as well as more pastel looking,
Now you have a beautiful ombre
watercolor highlighter that is soooo pretty!!
It'll make you want to study for exams
just so you can highlight your notes.
And this DIY literally took me 5 seconds,
so you guys should definitely give this one a go!

You can personalize your pencils and pens
super easily,
so that no one will steal them from you
For the pencils, grab some washi tape
and then line it up with the top, pull it all the way down to the bottom
and cut it to length
and then just give it a bit of a roll
to stick it down along your pencil
You might have to do this one on the side if the washi tape doesn't reach all the
way around pencil this works the best with completely round pencils that's
pretty much it and these actually sharpen out really well and you'll
never mistake your pencils for other people's pencils again
*upbeat music*
you can always buy colorful pens but if you have some old boring ballpoint pens
at home and you want to jazz them up a bit you can use this DIY to do that and
save yourself some money first of all put two tablespoons of water in a bowl
and then a 1 tablespoon of glue. You can use PVA glue or Elmer's glue for this. Simply
stir it up until you get this milky white formula. Now you want to dismantle
your pen and it's actually really easy with these type of pens you simply
just pull the nib and it comes right out and all you need to do is put the liquid
glue and then a tip it into your pen make sure there's like a bowl underneath
because it will come out the other side but this will make sure you have a nice
glue coating in the inside of your pen. Now grab your glitter and mix it up until
you have your perfect color i decided to mix up everything would look like and
then funnel this into the tube before the glue dries and then it will just
stick to the edges of the tube and make this beautiful glitter pattern
Once it's dry just put the nip back on carefully make sure not to scratch the
edges while you put it in so just drop it in a super gently and now you are
done and now you have these beautiful glittery pens that any unicorn it would
want to steal from you my favorite is this peak purpley color it's holographic
goodness it is so pretty
Have you ever wondered whats its like to write with a quilt you know like the olden days
well i'm gonna show you this great DIY so you can create your very own all you
need is some large feathers from the craft store design and paint your
feather and you can totally get creative with it I got some neon paint
and some metallic paint and just went nuts
grab your pen and unscrew it and then just pull out one of those color
pen tubes in any color you want, measure it up and cut off any excess tube
now grab scissors and cut off the tip to reveal the opening tube and all you need
to do now is to put it together and push it into the feather stem, it is actually
that easy. i found that most large feathers actually fit perfectly with the
pen tube like a snug sock so i made a so many of these and got super obsessed
with how pretty they were.

Who needs silver staples in your life because they
can be so boring
you can make your own color staples in just a few minutes, just grab your
favorite sharpie color and just color the top of them and yeah that's pretty
much it you can make so many different colors super quickly and it's just way
more fun to staple things with .. with colored staples for some reason. now I'm
going to go find something to staple.
You can make these super cute USB holders from erasers. If you're always losing your USBs or mistaking it for other peoples, this
is the perfect way because it's like a two-in-one and all you need to do is
find a cute eraser that will fit the end of your USB in and then use an exacto
knife and some small scissors and dig out a hole that will fit your USB and
just keep it digging this may take a little while but trust me it's worth it
in the end until you get the exact depth and width that you need. If it's a bit
bigger than normal and your USB keeps slipping you can use hot glue to glue your USB but
otherwise it usually just won't budge if it's the right size and then you just
stick it in and you get this super-cute USB eraser and I actually created one with
an actual eraser shape and made the top the lid so that it hid my USB perfectly.
People will totally just think it's an eraser but BAM
it's a USB that's so cool right
If you have one of these sharpeners that don't have anything to catch the
shavings with you can actually make a DIY sharpener catcher with an old tic tac container.
or even at your very own cute starbucks one if you want a fun
DIY project. The tic tac one is actually super easy to make just hot glue your
sharpener and horizontally into the opening of the tic tac container and that's
pretty much it
you can even open it up and throw out the shaving even have like a little lid
to keep the top closed, you can decorate it if you want as well and it is just so cute
for the starbucks sharpener simply find a small condiments container with a
lid and paint the inside with white acrylic paint or nail polish, let it dry
it needs about two coats and then cut a hole in the lid so that your pencils can
fit in
you can use your sharpener as a guide and then cut it out with some scissors
molt some air dry clay so that it fills up the empty space inbetween the sharpener
and the bottom of the container
and create a pocket shape for the sharpener to sit in by pushing it down
this is so that the sharpener doesn't move around, then hot glue the air dry clay
to the bottom of the sharpener container and then the sharpener to the lid.
Print the starbucks label from the printer and just cut it out
use some clear tape and tape it over and that's it and the cutest thing was when I put
my washi tape pencil in it, it actually looked like a proper straw for the starbucks
container and it just looks so cute.
Paper clips aren't anything special, right? Wrong, you can make your normal paper clip 10 times cuter in like 2 seconds
all you need to do is take a regular paper clip blend it upwards towards the
open end of the clip and that's it
it looks like a complete mess now but when you actually clip it on it's a cute
little heart
I don't know why I've never done this before because it's so easy and i'll
definitely be using these with all future paper clips because it's just way
more fun
I'm always losing small objects like hair ties, bobby pins, elastic bands, yup and
paper clips now I can't help you with the first three things with this half
but I have one that will save your paper clips from going missing. All you need to
do is find any old fridge magnet, a pencil tin and hot glue.All you want to
do is cut the fridge magnet to size and then hot glue it onto the side of your
pencil tin. You now have a magnetic paper clip holder and so there will always be
a paper clip for you ready when you need one.
Create your own custom pattern folder dividers that are also super practical
simply just use washi tape and cut it to size, fold these sides across and then the top over
and that's pretty much it, it is so simple. Just use alternating patterns for all
your tabs and it will look so cute.
Now you can write whatever you want on it and, this is the amazing part, you
want to change what it says simply just peel the tape off and you have a
brand-new set of dividers ready to go.
So say yes to re-using dividers and saving some money.
I love this hack because it turns your binder into a super organizer. Just
get a piece of cardboard the size of your divider or cut one to size. I chose a
black because it really makes the sticky notes pop, mark out and punch holes on the
side so it fits perfectly into your folder now layout your sticky notes until
you get a pattern that you like and then hot glue them onto the cardboard
once you put it into your folder, you'll always have a set of stickies to remind you
to do things. This is a life saver for me because I never actually remember anything so I
really gotta write it down and stick it somewhere or I'm just gonna forget and that's
not good when you have things due.
So whilst filming this DIY, something so cute happened I was feeding my kitties
treats and they went nuts for it and when Mia gets really excited about food she
stands up like a little meerkat and Mickey just wants to give me high-fives
it is adorable I just had to share this with you guys.
This DIY is so cool because it turns your folder into a chalkboard or pretty much
anything else into a chalkboard and all you need is a chalkboard paint and a
paint roller, an optional use of a paint roller is literally to roll your cat
because Mia just loved this and she purred so much so maybe this is like a
cat massage device.Tape any section you want to keep clean, get some chalkboard
paint onto the roller and then roll away.
did you know you can get chalkboard paint in a bunch of different colors
like I had a hard time choosing because there were blues, greens, purples and I ended up choosing this
rose pink because I thought it was ust so beautiful. I used about two coats before I
got the finish I wanted and once it's dry you can decorate away. I found these
amazing neon liquid chalk pens as well which made it more fun decorating and
that means you can change the design on your folder anytime you like
and when you're sick of it just get a damp tissue or cloth and wipe it away and
also use this as a to-do list as well but if you don't want to keep your to do
list on the front of your folder you can even chalkboard paint one of your folder
dividers and keep your to-do list there and that way you can just like wipe it
off when you're done and you're always reminded about what's due in the
upcoming week, so I hope you guys try it as well.
How cool were these hacks guys? If you guys do any
just tag me because I want to go and comment. I will be there stalking you guys
