DIY Vintage Jewelry Tree - nontraditional Christmas tree

Jewelry tree! Did your grandma have one of these? Mine didn't, but I know other grandma ladies who had them! If you use thrifted and vintage materials, this is definitely a more sustainable craft, but what about the hot glue?

Materials:

Fabric- I used some fabric leftovers from a theatre show

Frame- it's thrifted!

Backing- the board came with an art print, I just needed to cut it down

Measuring- tape and ruler

Glue- hot and liquid

Brush- for glue

Vintage Jewelry- got mine at a vintage stall store

Cutting utensils- get a xacto and some scissors ready

Pliers- to bust up the jewelry

Wire cutters- again to bust up the jewels

Marking tools- like a pencil

What do you think about me painting the frame hot pink to match my pop-up Christmas tree?

And what is a good, sustainable alternative to hot glue?

Aquafaba Whip vs Coconut Cream Whip - vegan holiday treats

Ok, what is aquafaba? It's garbanzo bean water, and it makes a mean egg replacer. But I've also heard of it used as a vegan whipped topping. Was it better than coconut whipped topping? I had to know.

Not that have ever made whipped anything in my life. 

Here are the recipes in case you want to try them, I recommend both!

DIY Foaming Hand Soap

Super simple DIY foaming hand soap. Making your own means less unknown chemicals, and less waste especially if you buy the big bottles of soap.

Ingredient list: 

Water- filtered or distilled if you'd like

Castile soap- I used Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap

Vegetable glycerine

Essential oil- I used lavender

Fill your bottle 2/3 up with water, 1/3 with soap. Add about 1 teaspoon of glycerine, then 2-3 drops of essential oil. Rock the bottle back and forth, don't shake or you'll get MAOR BUBBLES.
