That sounds really cool! so I have a little bit of a shopping problem I was getting on Temu quite a bit right I am one day I was looking up press on nails and you know most of what comes up is the stuff that you can get at Walmart except there are a lot more choices but then I stumbled across a set of 10 nails and they were listed as handmade press on nails. They were sturdier looking than the ones you get in the store they were decorated with all different kinds of things beads stickers Jules so I started buying them because they were pretty cheap on Temu. Well I was buying so many I thought you know what hey I'm a pretty crafty girl I totally think I could make some of these! so I made a couple pairs and the first ones were a little rough but the more I kept making them the better I got! And then I started wearing them to work! And then all the girls at the office were all the time commenting on my nails and like hey could you make me a set too?? And I'm like yeah sure totally and so the more that I was making for myself and for other people everybody was like you so totally need to sell these! And at first I was kind of hesitant because you know I'm not a nail technician, I'm not an artist, I'm really just doing this for fun this is like crap therapy for me! But you know I was enjoying it so much I thought you know what what the heck so I took a dive ,bit the bullet, and I created my own Facebook page! From there I ended up getting together with a friend who makes handmade jewelry and she asked if I wanted to do some craft shows with her and she was like you really need to have an Instagram to reach more people and I was like yeah but I have a Facebook like I'm so not technically savvy!! I have an Instagram but I hadn't used it and probably I don't know three gosh almost 4 years but I went ahead and I got on there I changed my personal account to business account.You are welcome to look me up because it's no big secret and you can't keep people from liking your business page anyway I'm under Kewl Nails by Kendra are they on Facebook or on Instagram. You can kinda look through some of the things I've done and it's really fun to steal ideas from other people I think that's the need a form of flattery when people like your work so much they're like oh I wanna try making that too! And then I recently decided to sign up for an online course to become a licensed nail technician so I'm gonna be starting out here soon I'm super excited I'm a nurse and a day job and I love doing that but I also love doing this it really brings me a lot of joy I love making pretty things and making people smile! If you're more curious and you wanna learn how to make some for yourself reach out anytime I'm happy to talk you through it! 1

And honestly like very simple nails is not honestly you can get nails to do this at the dollar tree they have a whole beauty section that's totally awesome! I mean it's not like they have a huge selection but if you're curious and it's something you'd like to try you could totally check it out and it doesn't take a whole lot to paint them and decorate them how you like really you just need you know some rhinestones or stickers or whatever I get a lot of my stuff on Amazon I get a lot of stuff on Sheen they're I get stuff on Etsy there's a lot of great places to find stuff to craft! and like you could always just do a solid color and that's super Duper easy because the nails are totally already shaped! So literally all you're doing is basically coloring the nails your favorite color anyway forgive me I could go on about it all day long because it excites me! Please do let me know if you have any questions Hey did you check your cabinet to see if you had any kind of macaroni noodles at all??

Take those strips and roll them around a straw. to seal the bead if you've just got some plain old Elmers glue the white kind that you used to get in school you can take that mix it with a little bit of water. You can use your finger or a paintbrush and so you just take that glue mixture and you coat the bead and then you lay it out to let it dry and then take the straw out and then you take string or whatever and put the beads on it and then you've made yourself a homemade necklace!
