Go Pink! Breast Cancer Awareness Shirt

Each year our high school dedicates one varsity football game during the season to those battling cancer. It's called the Go Pink game and encourages everyone to wear pink to show their support, and also sells gear (shirts, hoodies, bracelets, etc) with proceeds going to one recipient. This year the Hand Family was our recipient as their 10-year old daughter Hailey is fighting Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Tumblr Inspired Glitter Tattoos

That's totally Tumblr! Tumblr is such an amazing source of inspiration in just about any aspect of life. There are lots of different tattoo designs too. I like the tumblr approach to tattoos, most of them are more delicate and super artsy. With Tulip Body art you can create a more temporary approach to the trends- cause let's face it, they are trends and trends fade. 

Henna Inspired Glitter Tattoos

In the summer our wardrobes often get simplified to just the basics, but with these fun henna inspired Body Art Glitter Tattoo’s you can still add some fun sparkle to whatever you wear. Even your teeny bikini can be accessorized with these sparkly tattoos! They’re super fun and quick to do, so let’s get started!

DIY Glittered Body Art

Whenever I am at the boardwalk I see booths set up where you can get temporary glitter tattoos or other kinds of body art. As a little kid the thought of having glitter and butterflies all over my arms and face sounded rather delightful. Tulip’s body art is great because instead of paying someone for a one time tattoo you can get multiple stencils and colors that can be used time and time again. It is great for going to the beach, the pool, a party, or a sleepover with your friends. I have wanted to showcase Tulip Body Art in a tutorial for a long time now, so I hope you enjoy it and make some awesome designs of your own! 

 

What you need:

Tulip Body Art Kit:

Blue Glitter

Silver Glitter

Adhesive

Small brush

Large brush

Dragonfly Stencil

Body Crystals

Remove stencil from backing and adhere to skin.  Rub gently to make sure there are no air pockets.

Brush glue on open areas of stencil.  We left stencil on for the next step, you can opt to remove it according to instructions.

Dip brush into glitter and pounce/pat into stencil. A generous helping is good!  We used blue for the body, head and wing tips and silver for the inside of the wings.  You have to work quickly or the glue will dry. It is similar to eyelash adhesive.

Remove stencil.  Use larger brush to gently brush off any excess glitter.

Use tweezers, pliers or a crayon to pick up crystals.  Dip them into glue and gently adhere to eyes of dragonfly.  Add more if you like!

That's it!  These are so easy and fun!  I'm going to bring them to my next sleepover and share them with my BFF!  I really love them and best of all, I love that they last several days, but not forever.
