DIY Fishbowl Plant

Hey guys. Sorry I haven’t been on in a while. I was very busy with school, but now that it’s summer, I am able to write more. Today I wanted to show you guys a DIY Fishbowl pot/ plant. This idea isn’t mine on my own, but I have done things to mine to make it unique. I have seen it on Pinterest but I did my own little twist to make it more for me. I hope you guys enjoy this blog post and be sure to follow ExploreAesthetic for more like it.

Main Materials 

• A fishbowl (or any bowl that you please, just make sure it can hold water)
• Potting Soil
• Any seeds/ plants that you choose\
• Optional: Fairy Lights or Rocks/ Marbles

Instructions

1. Put some of the potting soil into a clean fishbowl. You want it about a little over a quarter full.
2.  Add seeds or plants to the soil as instructions show
3. Add Marbles or Rocks if desired
4. Water the plants and let them sit in a sunny area.

OPTIONAL: Add fairy lights or paint to customize your fishbowl plant. You can get really creative here.

That is it! This DIY is so simple yet so creative. If you had a fish in the past and still have that fish bowl laying around,

this would be the perfect way to use it. Also, this is a pretty cheap project. The bowl I got from Walmart was around $6 and seeds are a little over a dollar. The soil you can find in your own backyard so this project rounds to $7.50 total. This was a fun project and added a earthy touch to my room.

3 DIYS

Hey guys. This post is 3 DIYS that are common, but get the job done. I don’t use exact measurements in the DIYS because they aren’t precise. Today I have recipes for a lip scrub, a face mask, and a hair mask. I hope you enjoy these DIYS and try them out for yourself.

1. Lip Scrub

This DIY is so simple but makes you lips so soft and smooth. You can keep it anywhere and stays fresh for a while. All you need for this DIY is:

1 Part Sugar

1 Part Honey/Oil

Optional: Coconut Oil. Adding a little bit of coconut oil helps moisturize your lips.

You can really customize this scrub. I used a light amount of food dye to color it. Don’t add too much or it can dye your lips that color. I also added vanilla extract to add a nice taste to the scrub.

Mix the ingredients together and store it in a jar. Since all the ingredients are edible, after you scrub them on your lips, you can lick it off. If not your preference, wipe the scrub off
with a wet towel.

2. Face Mask

This DIY is also very simple but makes you face moisturized and soft. It includes many of the ingredients from the lip scrub. Sadly, I didn’t have the avocado with me for this recipe so I couldn’t make the DIY today.

1 Part Avocado

1 Part Honey

1/2 Part Yogurt

Optional: Coconut oil for extra hydration

Mix the ingredients in a bowl and apply to face. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and wash off with a wet towel.

3. Hair Mask

This hair mask is very basic but helps keep your hair strong and hydrated. All you need for this DIY is:

1 Egg

1 Part Milk

1/2 Part Lemon Juice

1/4 Part Oil

Optional: Coconut Oil; Great conditioner to soften hair.

Mix the ingredients together in a bowl. Apply to hair and let it sit for 10- 15 minutes. Rinse off in shower.

That is the 3 DIYS I will be showing you guys today. If you enjoyed, leave a like and follow my blog to get more ideas like this.

DIY Photo/List Display

Today I wanted to show you a really simple DIY that I have been making for room decor and organization. A DIY photo display. You only need four different materials for this DIY.

Materials: 

• Photos/ Lists
• Clothespins
• String to string clothespins on (I used jute)
• Tape or Tacks

Steps:

1. Clip the clothespins on the string. You can add  as many clothespins as you like, just make it proportional.
2. Add the photos or lists of your choice to the clothespins.
3. Tape or tack up the string to your wall.

That’s it! This DIY is so simple but so neat. I’ve seen stores retail photo displays for around $15-20.  This is a much cheaper alternative and you can customize it however you want.

If you want to make your display a bit neater, you can add a wood block behind the strings.

I hope you enjoy this DIY and if it helped you out, be sure to leave a like and comment suggestions on what you want to see next.

Thank you,
