brownie mix hot chocolate

ok, guys! here's my second(third) post! i am going to teach you how to make brownie mix hot chocolate! i did not find this recipe on the internet, i made it up. i had wanted hot chocolate but i couldn't find any, so i looked on pinterest for a recipe for cake mix hot chocolate, but i could only find cakes. so i made my own recipe, but i only had brownie mix so i used that instead. so this is how it goes!

ingredients:

2 tablespoons of brownie mix

2 tablespoons powdered milk*

hot water

a mug

a spoon

marshmallows and whipped cream are sorta optional.

and a mouth!

* if you don't have powdered milk, than just heat up about 1 cup of milk in the microwave in place of the water. the milk(powdered or normal) will help so the hot chocolate will not taste watery.


ok! onto the steps!

step 1: heat up the water(or have it heating up while you mix other things. this of course applies to the milk too.)

step 2: mix the brownie mix and powdered milk together in the mug(but again if you don't have powdered milk, just put in the brownie mix).

step 3: pour in the hot water(or milk).

step 4: mix it around.

step 5: add any marshmallows or whipped cream and enjoy!



Yes, i know half of those steps were pretty obvious, but i had to state them or it wouldn't make sense. maybe later i will be able to add pictures, and since my sister has a nice camera, she will help me take good pictures.


sincerely,

Duct tape bow bracelet






Okay guys! this is my first actual post! so i am going to show you how to make a duct tape bow bracelet!



i have a different version i can probably show you another time, though. ok. let's get to the tutorial!

step 1: measure your wrist.

step 2: measure out that length of duct tape and maybe an inch more.

Step 3: fold the duct tape over on itself, so that there isn't any sticky part showing.
                       That is you wristband! now onto the actual bow.
step 4: measure out maybe 10 inches of tape.
step 5: fold it over onto itself lengthwise with about an inch of sticky part left.

step 6: fold it so it looks like a cuff and stick it onto itself with that extra inch.

step 7: now scrunch in the sides and tape over that with a piece of tape.

step 8: now to connect that, get another piece of tape and go over that piece you already used.
now you are done! just connect the back two sides of the wristband with a little more tape and you are done!now, if step 7 and 8 didn't make sense, have no fear, there is a video on making the bow that i followed! its right here:
