For a 4-strand round braid, one or two colors are typically used in different configurations, but you can use up to four different colors for each strand if you wish. For an 8-strand braid, typically one or two colors are used to create patterns, but you can use as many as eight different colors for each strand. You can fold over one longer piece of your material to create two strands, in which case you will tie together the loop ends of the folded pieces....

Most bandanas come shaped as a square and usually have measurements close to 22 inches by 22 inches. However, if your bandana is larger than this, simply fold down each side until it measures 22 inches. You can use a sewing machine or needle and thread to sew each side of the bandana if it is too large. This will keep the sides in place and make it easier to construct a blindfold....

Plastic pony beads work best for this project, although you can use any kind of beads that have a hole wide enough to fit over the pipe cleaners. Each of the 2 pairs of pipe cleaners should be a different color, giving you 4 total pipe cleaners preferably black and orange. One pair will be the phosphate and the other pair will be the deoxyribose. Be sure that the 2 long strands that form the double helix match up, so that the beads are in the same order....

If you want a smaller pencil case, you can use an empty toilet paper tube instead. You will only be able to keep small items in it, like erasers or crayons, however. Choose a zipper color that matches or contrasts with your fabric. The zipper tape should be touching the cardboard, and the zipper teeth should be between the cut edges. You want to be able to open and close the tube with the zipper....

If you don’t have a hole puncher, cut a small slit into each corner instead. You can also tie the strings to a paperclip, a charm, or a small washer. If you have a small toy, like a Lego or plastic soldier, tie two strings together on each side to make loops. [7] X Research source If you made loops for a small toy, slip the loops under the toy’s arms first....

Keep an eye on your oven so you know when it’s reached the correct temperature. Most models will sound an alert or flash a light to let you know that they’re preheated. While a knife makes cutting the large florets into small ones easier, you can often use your fingers to snap the florets into smaller pieces as well. It’s a good idea to add some salt to the water before boiling to help season the cauliflower....

If you decide that making your own powder is too much trouble, you can buy it from science and hobby supply stores or online. Wear an oven mitt or use a dishtowel to protect your hand from the heat. Always be careful when working with an open flame. Children should have adult supervision. Repeat these steps to make more soot as many times as you’d like. Scraping soot is very messy....

“Hey grandma, I don’t want any interruptions today while we’re hanging out, so I thought we could turn off our devices and do something else. " “Grandma, you’ve been using your iPad for quite a while. Is there a game or an activity we can both do together?” “My English class has been reading the book Of Mice and Men. Do you like that writer, John Steinbeck?” “I joined the dance team last week, and I’m having so much fun....

Wash your clippers with rubbing alcohol in between uses to prevent the fungus from spreading. Bring the brush down the middle of your nail in one, even stroke. Don’t try to cover the entire nail with this one stroke. Then, starting from the same position as the first stroke, bring the brush down at an angle, covering the left side of your nail. Repeating this process, place your brush at the same starting point and brush the right side of your nail....

English bulldogs are easily confused with other short, squat forms of bulldog such as the Victorian Bulldog, the Dorset Olde Tyme Bulldog, and the the Aussie Bulldog. Take a look at body shapes. Some bulldogs have lean, muscular bodies and longer noses and faces. These types of bulldogs, such as the American Bulldog and the Banter Bulldog, look more like pit bull type dogs than they do a short, round English Bulldog....

A buildup of too much bile in the gallbladder can cause gallbladder attacks. Different people experience gallbladder attacks differently. Although pain typically is on the right side, or between the shoulder blades, it may also feel like low back pain, cramps, or the like. Gallbladder attacks are usually a symptom indicating that something else is wrong with the gallbladder. If gallbladder function is compromised and the gallbladder doesn’t empty as quickly as it should, a gallbladder attack may occur....

Even though there’s no such thing as a right or wrong style, there are guidelines you can follow. For example, dirty clothes give off a certain impression, and it’s not a good one, so keep your clothes washed and clean. Also, try to avoid dressing inappropriately for the occasion. What you wear to school should be different from what you wear to a fancy dinner or a music recital. Unless you’re going for a specific look and you know what you’re doing, stick to clothes that fit well....

Apply your spray or permethrin mixture in a 5 to 25 foot (1. 5 to 7. 6 m) radius from the source of the maggots. This will ensure that you reach the entire affected area and prevent the maggots from returning. While permethrin is safe for use in human hair and on the scalp, take care not to get it in your eyes, ears, nose, or mouth. If you do, flush or clean it away immediately....

A process of self-reflection can help with healing. Be willing to look inward, and not just outward, about how to cope with the end of a relationship. The beginning of a new relationship may seem outwardly like you’ve moved on, but it’s important to address how you’re really feeling. If you’re still in love and thinking about your ex, jumping into a relationship or having sex out of spite might be harmful to you in the long run....

It’s easier to listen often if you keep digital copies of the song on multiple platforms, including your phone, your laptop, a CD, a MP3 player, and a thumb drive. [2] X Research source Listening is great for learning the lyrics, whether or not the words are in your native language. If you’d rather type the lyrics out, you can do that as an alternative. It’ll have the same effect as writing....

What does your natural singing voice sound like? Try to use this to your advantage instead of fighting it. Mick Jagger doesn’t have an amazing voice, but he and the Rolling Stones rode the top of the pop charts for decades because he uses his growly, high-energy style to it’s fullest potential. Singing like Adele, Beyonce, Michael Buble, and other “classic” voices generally takes years of training. While you can learn without a teacher, these voices are very hard to develop without professional help....

Store your journal and other materials somewhere your spouse can’t find them, such as at a neighbor’s house. The farther away you can move from your spouse, the safer you will be. If you live in the United States, you can search for shelters in your area on this website: https://www. domesticshelters. org/. If you are in the United Kingdom, you can search Shelter. org. If you are taking your children with you, gather the documents and personal items they will need, too....

Try to find a binder that uses small rings that aren’t very long. This will allow you to modify the dimensions of the binder without affecting the binder’s rings. Use an exacto knife to produce a clean cut. Hold the ruler down with pressure along the outline and carefully make your cut. [2] X Research source You can also use scissors if an exacto knife isn’t available to you. The spine will be 3 or 4 inches depending on what binder you picked out....

Hickory, yew, lemonwood, and maple are all good woods to use when making a bow. You can decide the specifics (flat limbs, wide or narrow limbs) on your own. Mark out where you want your handle to be. Sand down any rough edges in the stave. Making your bow too thin will cause it to break. The recurve requires one curve away from the handle and one curve back towards the handle for each limb....

The thickness and exact color of the wire is entirely up to you, but thinner wire is best as it allows you to easily manipulate it. Look for artistic wire at a craft or hardware store that comes in a small spool, as these are most often used for making jewelry. Flatten out the wire after it’s cut. Straightening it out will make the wire easier to work with. This is a great way to add style and a unique quality to your ring....
