Cool crafts (You'll love these!!)

  Ok, so here are a few really cool, really easy crafts that you can do that are really fun and super easy (so you won't have to spend your entire night figuring out what the instructions mean by "connect point A to point B in a cylindrical fashion") <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">

Mini Craft Book-- CRAFT 1: A "Dry-erase Paint Chip Calendar" 

How to do this?? Paste the paint chips onto a large white paper or piece of card stock... Place it in a frame and viola!! A simple and wonderful little/large calendar!! <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">

Mini Craft Book-- CRAFT 2: A Teapot Placemat

If you have a teapot, and you want to keep it warm-ish, all you have to do is make on of these!! 

*Get a large piece of circular felt (preferably black) and place rocks on it.

home remedies for teeth whitening

come on everyone...you know you want those beautiful, straight, white smiles on picture day! TRDR has gathered together a couple of popular AND lesser-known teeth whitening techniques. check it out!

1. Baking Soda

One of the most popular ways to whiten your teeth at home.

You'll Need:

• Baking Soda
• Toothbrush
• Water

What To Do:
*WARNING!* This is not for more sensitive teeth. Read all the warnings below before you begin and please follow all instructions with care!

1. First, clean your toothbrush. Make sure there's no leftover food chunks or toothpaste from when you last brushed. I know this sounds gross, but trust me! It's for your own good!
2. Wet your toothbrush and sprinkle a little bit of baking soda on the toothbrush. You can also sprinkle about a teaspoon's worth onto a paper napkin and dip your toothbrush into it.
3. Gently brush your teeth in small circles. DO NOT apply very much pressure, as this might damage your teeth! You want to very gently rub the teeth. The baking soda (Arm & Hammer, preferably) will rub the stains off of your teeth, resulting in whiter and brighter smiles. :)

**Warning**: Make sure you do not use pressure or 'scrub' the teeth! This isn't like normal brushing. Be gentle while still making progress!

Time: It doesn't take very long, and you only have to do it once to see the difference!

2. Bananas for White Teeth!

A lesser-known technique. TRDR found this handy trick on YouTube! All rights to the YouTuber. :)

You'll Need:

• One Banana (only peel is used)
• A cup of water

What To Do:

1. Okay, so all you really need is the peel of the banana! Feel free to eat the banana, but do not throw away the peel.  (You probably want to brush your teeth before using this technique too!)
2. Take a length of the peel and bare your teeth. You'll want to rub the peel ON YOUR TEETH! I know this sounds weird, but it works! Rub the peel over all of your teeth and once you've finished, you can throw/compost the peel.

Time: This process also shouldn't take too long. If you really want shining chompers, you can try this technique twice a week for long-term results.

3. Tough, Tough, and Really Tough Love

This is a common technique, but used TO THE MAX!! 

You'll Need:

• One Lime or Lemon
• Baking Soda
• Toothbrush
• Water
• Small Bowl

What To Do:

*WARNING!* This is not for sensitive teeth! Read all the warnings below before you begin and please follow the instructions with care!

1. This is for really tough teeth...and bad ones too! Lay out a paper towel and shake some baking soda onto it. Then squeeze your lime/lemon until the baking soda makes a pasty texture. 
2. Take your toothbrush and dip it into the pasty mixture until it's on your toothbrush. Brush in small circles.
3. Rinse with water!

**Warning**: This is a very rough & tough tooth remedy! But it whitens tons. Make sure you brush normally with toothpaste after using.

4. Mystery Remedy

I'm not sure if it works! But it sure is a mystery!

You'll Need:

• Whitening Toothpaste

What To Do:

1. This is a mystery remedy. Does it work? Doesn't it? You'll want to take your finger and gently apply toothpaste to each individual tooth, making sure you cover the front of the tooth. Make sure it's got whitening agents in it.
2. Let the toothpaste sit on your teeth for a good 10 -15 minutes before washing off with lukewarm water. Some people say they've seen the results...other's say it's baloney!
