Is it safe?
Often people choose temporary tattoos for safety reasons. But is this method of applying a design to the skin as safe as compared to a classic tattoo done in a salon? As pigments for a real tattoo, even in expensive certified compositions, they use soot, ocher, chromium oxide, titanium dioxide, in general, everything that should not be present in the body. Perhaps this is why there are allergies to tattoo ink, and people with tattoos cannot be donors for a year after getting the design.
Board games
Children and parents love board games and are happy to devote their leisure time to family games. However, over time, after prolonged use, cardboard play accessories begin to scatter and get lost. Especially in an incomprehensible way, the smallest and most necessary details - chips - disappear. Without chips, the game cannot begin or continue. The chip characterizes each player, acts “with the hands of the owner” and “instead” moves across the playing field. The loss of such a part does not mean a tragedy, because you can easily make chips like store-bought ones.
How to get a temporary tattoo for the holiday?
If there is some joyful event coming up, you can get a shiny tattoo. This tattoo for the New Year is also perfect. You will need:
- purchase an adhesive-based stencil or make it yourself from paper;
- acrylic glue intended for the body;
- decorative rhinestones or sparkles.
Remove the protective film from the stencil, glue it to the selected area of the body, which has previously been degreased. Walk along the lines of this stencil with a brush dipped in acrylic glue. Hold the stencil like this for a few seconds, then remove it and wait for the glue to become transparent. Now take a brush and apply glitter onto the adhesive line. The excess of these sparkling materials should be brushed off with another brush.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of a temporary tattoo is that it is temporary. You can regularly change the images as new fashion trends emerge. Other advantages usually include the following:
- The procedure is completely painless.
- If you don't like the drawing, you can quickly delete it.
- You don't need to spend a lot of money on a tattoo. And at home, a temporary tattoo is done completely free of charge.
Attention. Among the disadvantages of temporary tattoos, only allergic reactions are distinguished.
They may manifest themselves in the following:
- The appearance of a rash.
- Itching.
- Blisters.
- Redness and irritation of the skin.
- Increased sensitivity of the affected area to sunlight.
- Loss of normal pigmentation.
- Possibility of scarring.
Symptoms do not necessarily appear immediately. Allergies can occur several weeks after applying the paint.
How to make a temporary tattoo using a printer and transfer paper?
In order to get a high-quality tattoo, the printer must match the type of temporary tattoo paper you purchased. With this method of tattooing, perfume is not needed. Print your chosen image onto the glossy side of white paper in a mirror image. If only a black and white printer is available, select an outline drawing to print. Once it's on your skin, you'll color it in with special colored tattoo markers. Place the sheet of paper with the picture face up.
Trying not to touch the adhesive layer with your hands, separate the adhesive film from the backing by a couple of centimeters and apply it to the drawing so that there are no folds or air bubbles. Smooth it out with your fingers. Apply the rest of the film to the drawing in the same way, gradually freeing it from the backing. Cut out the design along the contour, leaving an allowance of about 2 mm. Degrease the skin at the site where the temporary tattoo is applied with alcohol. Separate the film from the workpiece on which you glued it. The glue should remain in the drawing.
Press the adhesive side of the design onto the skin. Wet the paper with a wet sponge. Once the paper gets wet, remove it. Let the image dry from water.
What T-shirts can be thermally applied to?
Before making a transfer to a T-shirt, find out what fabrics can easily be used to make such a decoration. This method of decorating clothing is most often used on T-shirts made from natural fibers. The best options with images are obtained on cotton fabrics, which are especially pleasant to the touch. It is comfortable to wear due to its high hygroscopicity.
The prints look great especially on white T-shirts. But you can also make them on materials of other colors, maintaining the principle of color contrast. Thanks to this, the graphics will be clearly visible. Many young people prefer to have stickers on their jeans. In this case, a sticker can also be a great way to freshen up your wardrobe. The method of decorating clothes is well suited for both children's and adult clothing.
How to do it at home?
Attention. A temporary tattoo can be made at home using transfer paper, a printer, perfume, a pen, etc.
You can choose any design using harmless means. It’s easy to apply a tattoo yourself, but it’s better if someone helps.
Through paper
At home, tattoos are often done using transfer paper. It is used to outline the image on the skin. The principle of operation of transfer paper is completely similar to tracing paper. It is applied to the skin, and a printed or drawn image is placed on top. It is outlined along the contour, after which it is imprinted on the skin. The paper is removed, and the remaining outlines are outlined with any dye.
Using a printer
For this method you will need:
How long does it last?
If you expect to have a temporary tattoo for about a month, it is better to get it done with henna for mehendi. The rich color palette of ready-made paint in tubes will allow you to realize any idea on your skin. A temporary tattoo made using a printer will last only a few days, or at best a couple of weeks. However, this will be enough for you to look impressive on the first date, surprise your friends who came to congratulate you on your birthday, try what it means to be different from everyone else, and make sure that the design sketch chosen for a permanent tattoo suits you.

Cosmetic pencil options
There is, of course, more variety here than among pens. Guys will have to get into mom's makeup bag or stand blushing in the cosmetics department. It’s much easier for girls to navigate, but for guys, let’s figure it out.
An eyeliner (eyeliner), eyebrow or lip pencil will suit our purpose.
These are the so-called liners. If you want a high-quality drawing, take waterproof pencils from well-known brands:
- Avon;
- Maybelline;
- loreal.
Well, if you don’t have much money saved from dinners, take what you can afford.
Materials
To assemble such a toy you will need very little time and a sheet of paper. White A4 or colored A4 will do. The main thing is that the workpiece must be dense, otherwise the craft will quickly become unusable. Advice! It is better to avoid corrugated, ultra-thin or glossy products. To make your work easier, prepare scissors and bright pencils/markers. A beautifully decorated “Fortune Teller” will greatly interest your child and captivate him for a long time. We provide you with several templates that you just need to print, cut out and assemble correctly.
How to make a temporary tattoo for a month
To ensure that a temporary tattoo made at home retains its original appearance for as long as possible, it is recommended to use a fixing topcoat , which can be talc, hairspray or liquid adhesive plaster.
However, the lifespan of a tattoo largely depends on what pigment was used when applying it. The most short-lived tattoos are those made using decals or a cosmetic pencil. A biotattoo, a marker drawing and a glitter image will last 1-2 weeks. The most durable design is a mehendi tattoo. Only it can be preserved for up to a month in an acceptable form.
A spectacular temporary tattoo that will emphasize style and individuality. For application at home, various materials are used, from the most affordable (ballpoint pens, markers, cosmetic pencils) to professional mixtures of pigments for mehendi tattoos.
Method of inventing chips
Creating chips is an interesting creative process that can captivate children for a while.
When thinking about how to make chips, you can use the following materials:
- plasticine;
- paper;
- textile;
- glue;
- Pictures;
- matches.
If you have the necessary raw materials, you need to figure out what the chips will look like and what game they correspond to. Creative imagination will allow you to come up with funny figures for each game before making chips.
Making standard chips from plasticine is as easy as shelling pears. A piece of the desired color is broken off and rolled with your palms to the shape of a pointed triangle. The bottom of the chip must be made flat so that it stands stable. With a lot of imagination and time, they create funny characters from plasticine: little people, animals that do an excellent job as game pieces.
Some girls sew small hearts from fabric, which walk along the playing field instead of chips.
Domino
A great idea for spending leisure time at home is playing dominoes. It can be played by 2 to 4 people. To play, you need to make 28 dice and put dots on them. The number of domino dots is equal to the number of combinations with repetitions of 2 from a set of 7 numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Bones are made from stones, felt fabric, and plasticine.

The rules are very simple and clear:
- Each player is dealt 5 dice at the start of the game. The rest of the bones are off to the side.
- The player who has the double 6-6 starts (if there is no such dice, then the player with the largest double goes - 5-5, 4-4, and so on). If no one has a double, the player with the most dots on the dice goes (6-5, 6-4, ...).
- After the first player places a tile, the next player must choose from his tiles the one that has the same number of dots on one side of the first tile. If he does not have the required bone, he takes one of the remaining ones set aside. The game then follows the same principle.
To win, you need to get rid of the dice dealt at the beginning of the game. Then the lucky player receives the amount of points that the other players have left. The winner is the one who reaches a predetermined number of points (for example, 100) faster.
"Monopoly"

If you want to create board games for your company, pay attention to Monopoly. This game is liked by millions of people. It develops logical and economic thinking, as well as ingenuity. To make sure your child enjoys the entertainment, come up with an original theme. For example, take your hometown as a basis. This will make it easier for your child to navigate the game. You will need to do:
- Playing field.
To do this, take several sheets of cardboard and glue them together to form a large rectangle or square (in a classic monopoly, the field dimensions are about 45x45 cm). Draw the outlines of the cells on the field - there should be 4 large squares in the corners, and 9 small rectangles between them. Paint the cells in different colors, depending on how many players will take part in the entertainment.
- Cards.
There are a lot of them to be made. For example, for the “Chance” and “Treasury” cells, you should prepare 16 task cards each. To do this, cut the cardboard into several pieces, trying to keep them the same. Now write a task or reward on each card. Real estate cards are also required. They are given to the player after he has purchased a factory or other enterprise. Make these cards from cardboard, be sure to decorate them with the color that appears on the cell of the same name on the playing field.
- Game currency.
This can be money you are used to or “credits” created specifically for the game. Money can be drawn on paper or printed by downloading a ready-made template from the Internet.
- Chips.
They can be made from anything - plasticine, clay, cardboard, wood. Make 8 chips in total in case there is a group of people playing.
- Game cube.
It is needed to determine how many moves the player must make. The cube can be purchased at the store or made from plasticine.
The rules of Monopoly are quite complex. But they can be changed to suit the age category of the players.

Lotto " Geometric Shapes "
Today I want to share with you my new game - lotto called
«Geometric figures»
And so, I began to create.
I found a box of a suitable size and covered it with self-adhesive paper.
Varieties of lotto
There are three main types of lotto games.
To play, each player is dealt three cards. Each player contributes his bet to the game bank. The first person to cover all the numbers on one card wins the entire pot.
Here, each player receives one card, and the first one to close any of the lines wins.
THREE FOR THREE LOTTO
The most difficult option. Each player has three cards. The game continues until someone's entire card is filled.
If a player fills the top row on any of the cards first, their opponents double their bets in the pot.
If the player fills the middle row first, he takes half of the pot before the end of the game.
If the player fills in the bottom line first, he can withdraw his bet from the bank.
The winner is the player whose one of his cards is completely filled. He takes the entire remaining bank.
