Elsa’s French Braid {Hair Style Video}

I know in the past I have showed you how to do a basic braid, a french braid, a braided updo and a messy bun with braids! Today I am excited to share with you how to do the Elsa braid from frozen!

I love the idea of wearing my hair in a braid for so many occasions! You can make it look more casual or elegant depending on how you style it.

Elsa's Braided Hair

I know that Elsa is all the rage for little girls and so many of them are asking their moms to do their hair like that. Well I am here to help! Here is a video showing you an easy way to braid your hair just like Elsa!

Some of you might be asking yourself, “Isn’t this just a french braid?”. The answer is yes although there are a few things that we do different here that you will have to remember when trying to get you hair to look like Elsa!

1.  Start with your hair strait, smooth and thick (Add extensions if necessary).
2. Tease the top of your hair for extra body and fullness.
3. Make sure you take big sections of hair when adding it to your braid.
4. Don’t forget to maneuver the hair to the side as you are braiding it.
5. Secure the braid with a clear elastic.
6. Loosen the braid by pulling at each little sections, starting at the bottom and working your way to the top.
7. Curl any fly-a-ways with a large curing iron.
8. Once you have the braid exactly how you like it, spray it with a long lasting hairspray.

This style is great for anyone at any age and for any occasion! It just depends on how clean or messy you make the braid. Personally I think that it would be awesome for summer because even if it gets a little messy, it looks like it should be that way!

See moms, it isn’t as hard as you thought, was it? Do you think that you will be able to achieve this style the next time some little one asks you? Or better yet the next time you want to try it on yourself?

6 Place your fingers through your hair while grabbing it into a pony

Pull the hair tie around the hair leaving some of the ends still  in.

7 Grab the ponytail off your wrist and pull it over the hair making sure most of the hair is all the way through.

With your other hand, grab the hair tie and pull your hair through again.

8 With your left hand twist the hair tie around and place it over the bun.

Do the same thing again.
9 Taking the hair tie with your right hand pull it over the bun one last time.

Three times should be good. Now just tighten the bun by gently pulling the hair in all different directions with both hands.

10 Grab hair from both sides of the bun and pull to loosen the bun.

Secure any of the loose ends with a bobby pin.

12 Secure any loose hairs with a bobby pin

And then you are done!

13 Spray with hair spray and you are finished.

DIY Christmas Gift Tags

Christmas comes but once a year, which means it will come again next year.

Each and every year I get so many beautiful cards from all of my friends and family. I hate the thought of throwing them out after Christmas is over although I just can’t keep them all.

A few years ago I had the idea of reusing the cards by making them into gift tags. It worked out so nicely that I have been doing it ever since.

So naturally, I wanted to share my idea with you.

DIY Christmas Tags from old Christmas cards. Here are the some of the cards that I will use to turn into tags.

Turn your old christmas cards into gift tags
You will only need your old Christmas cards and a tag punch. (I got mine from Michael’s)

Make your own Christmas Tag from Last Years Cards
I love that you can use any card or color to get all different types of tags.

I love this idea of making your own Chrtisam Tags out of your old cards
First you will need to line up your card in the center of your tag punch.

Center your card just the way your would like your tag.

When you have it lined up just the way you like it, press your fingers and thumb together.

Once you have it centered, push the handle and punch the pard

The last thing you need to do is side the tag out of the punch.

Let the Tag slide out of the punch and you are done

It is as easy as 1, 2, 3. (Card, Cut, Tag.)

This is such a cool idea! I love it
They turn out perfect every single time.

DIY Christmas Tags

This is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to make Christmas gift tags.

Does this seem like something that you would be able to do?

Now all I need to do is finish my wrapping!!
