The Tat Tut

(our tattoo tutorial)

Wow. kind of a tongue twister. Anyway, Maegan and I made our own temporary tattoos! Hooray!

So you start off with: a wet cloth, tracing paper, baby powder (or you can use corn starch), eyeliner, makeup brush, a pencil, ethyl alcohol (cleaning alcohol), cotton balls, a picture of what you want it to look like, and waterproof liquid bandage spray. DEFINITELY get the spray kind. We made that mistake.

Trace the picture (easier if it's simple, you'll have to draw it with eyeliner later) onto the tracing paper (you can just use parchment paper, works the same)

I love my octopus.
after you trace it using your pencil, clean the area you want the tattoo with the alcohol. Then, place it face down on your skin and use the wet cloth to get wet. Hold it there for about a minute. The image will transfer onto your skin. Like this:


 Now, trace the image in eyeliner. probably someone will have to do this for you. Especially if it's on your shoulder...



using your makeup brush, cover the area in baby powder.


then spray on the liquid bandage spray


let it dry and you are done!
this is maegan's, it's a dreamcatcher :) :) :) 



and you can't forget the bat tat :)
