Problem: Article: You will need a button on the top of the hat so that you have something to loop the tassel around. Fasten the tassel as you would do to a graduation hat, by looping the tassel around the hat's button and securing it by criss crossing it around the button. You could fasten the tassel to the button by using a slipknot. To make a slipknot, hold the yarn with two hands. Create a loop by bring the yarn in your right hand under the yarn in the left hand, so the bottom of the yarn crosses. Secure the yarn at the crossing point. Reach through the loop, and grab the yarn on the left side. Pull the right hand back through with the yarn. Grab the two hanging ends and the loop, and pull them in opposite directions. Sometimes people want to put a yarn tassel on a crocheted hat (or other piece of knitted work like a shawl). Make the tassel separately, rather than crocheting it directly into the hat. You will want to attach the tassel to the hat after you finish the hat. Cut a piece of cardboard that is the width of the tassel length you want. You may need a different size of cardboard if you are working off a pattern. In such a case, follow the directions. Take yarn, and wrap it around the cardboard. The more you wrap it, the fuller the ultimate tassel will become. You could also wind the yarn around something else, like a videogame or CD jacket. Wind it around loosely. Now, take a separate piece of yarn, and use it to tie the yarn bundle together at one end. You want this piece to be at least 6 inches long because you will also need it to tie the tassel to the hat. Slide the yarn carefully off the cardboard. You want a loop at the end of the yarn. Take another piece of yarn, and tie it around the bundle of yarn below the already tied end. Knot it. You want to cut the loops off on the opposite end of the bundle that is tied, and trim the ends to make sure they are even. Now attach the tassel to the hat. You could use a crewel needle to stitch the tassel to the hat. Weave the end of the yard into the hat's stitches. Thread one end end into the needle, and stitch the tassel and hat together.
Summary: Secure a button to the hat. Put a tassel on a crocheted hat. Complete the yarn tassel. Cut the loops at one end of the tassel. Finished.

Problem: Article: Elephant tusks have been the most common source of ivory throughout the gemstone's history. Due to the manner in which elephants are illegally poached for their tusks, however, the trade of new, contemporary elephant ivory is internationally banned. Typically speaking, though, you can still buy old elephant ivory that is decades or centuries old. You can also buy mammoth ivory, which is, perhaps, the most human form of ivory in existence since it comes from the tusks of mammoths that died of natural causes over 10,000 years ago. Since new ivory is banned, your best chances at finding ivory jewelry come by shopping in antique malls and online. Make sure that the merchant is certified and that no complaints have been filed against the shop. Ivory used in jewelry is off-white in color and usually polished until it becomes slightly glossy. The ivory is usually carved into intricate designs, from flowers to cameos, but smooth, simple ivory bangle bracelets are also common.
Summary: Do your research about the trade of ivory. Buy online or at antique stores. Know what to expect.

Problem: Article: Pour the cream into a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. When the cream is boiling, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the chocolate, butter, orange zest, and liqueur, and then set the mixture aside for three minutes. There are a few orange liqueurs you can use for this recipe, including orange curacao, Grand Marnier, and Cointreau. After three minutes, whisk the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and all the ingredients are incorporated. Transfer the ganache to the fridge and let it chill. Let the ganache cool in the fridge for at least 40 minutes. Stir it a few times during the chilling process. When you're ready to use the ganache, transfer it to a mixing bowl and beat it with electric beaters. Only beat for one to two minutes, until the ganache becomes light and fluffy. Ganache is a great frosting for cookies, cakes, and muffins, but it can also be used as a filling for doughnuts, truffles, and other desserts.
Summary: Add all the ingredients to the hot cream. Whisk and chill the chocolate. Beat the ganache before using. Finished.

Problem: Article: If you'd like to be extra thorough, then you can add a dash of salt to the cabbage and let it sit in a bowl for 10 minutes; this will allow the salt to soak up the excess moisture in the dumplings. Ground meat is meat finely chopped by a meat grinder. The process of mincing is usually done manually. Continue mixing the cabbage and meat together until they are thoroughly blended. Pork and lamb are generally preferred for Chinese dumplings, but beef, chicken, and turkey may be used as well. In South Asia, both lamb (mutton) and goat meat are popular. Repeat the process until you've thoroughly mixed in the remaining ingredients. If you'd rather use mixing spoons instead of your hands, that will work too, but you have to be really thorough. This will help dry out the mixture a bit. While you massage the mixture, if you feel that there is not enough vegetable oil, then you should add more. Just use a spoon to scoop out 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture in the center of every wrapper. You don't have to use the exact same amount in every wrapper; just make sure you have enough to use for all 20 or so of the wrappers. You should wet the edge of each wrapper with a damp finger and then fold the sides together, crimping (pressing together) the dough with your fingers to seal the contents inside. To do this, first fold it in half and press together the top of the edge. Then press each side together, while crimping it. Simple mechanical "dumpling presses" are also available to simplify this process. This will keep them from sticking to the surface and will make your dumplings ready to either boil or fryit's your choice!
Summary:
Shred the cabbage and put into a stainless pot. Mix the cabbage and minced meat together by hand. Add the remaining filling ingredients to the bowl and mix again. Massage the cabbage mixture with your hand for 10 minutes. Scoop the filling onto each wrapper. Fold the sides of the wrapper together. Place the wrapped dumplings on a floured surface.
