Problem: Article: These flowers look more like a cast iron sculpture than the fluffy flowers made with toilet paper. You'll need empty toilet paper rollsyou can use any amount you wantglue, a pen, and scissors. A hot glue gun works best. Take the rolls and squish them so that they are flat. They'll bounce back once you start using them, but you want the two creases you've created to be noticeable. Once you've flattened your rolls, use a pen to mark your toilet paper roll in fourths. Cut along the lines that you've marked to make petals of even width. Once you have all the petals you need, start to give them their shape. Help them bounce back toward their original shape. Press the creased parts into each other. You should end up with your cardboard holding an oval shape. Place glue along the bottom crease of one of your petals. Glue it to the bottom crease of another petal. Continue attaching petals, one at a time. Making a traditional flower will only take 4-8 petals. Attach multiple flowers together to make an interest piece. Spray paint it black, and hang it as if it is metal. Try attaching a jewel with glue as the center of your flower.
Summary: Gather your materials. Flatten and mark your toilet paper rolls. Make your petals. Glue your peals together. Finished.

Problem: Article: Pick a reading spot that you know will be quiet and have the least amount of distractions. At home, this might be your bedroom or a room upstairs, away from shared areas like the kitchen or living room. At school, you may read in the quiet area of the library or in a quiet corner of the study hall. Choose an area that has thick walls and a door or a partition. This will help to block out noise and other sounds that could distract you from your reading. If you know there is going to be noise where you are reading, wear noise cancelling headphones or ear plugs. Close all doors to keep out noise. This will help you stay focused on the text. You should also turn off your cellphone and your wifi. This way, you are not distracted by social media or text messages. Let those around you know that you are trying to focus on reading. Put up a Do Not Disturb sign on your door. Ask others around you to stay away from your room or area so you can try to absorb the text in peace. You may instruct others to leave you alone for a set period of time, such as 30 minutes or 1 hour. This way, you are assured of some peace and quiet for a set period of time so you can focus on the text.
Summary: Find a quiet, isolated area. Block out noise and distractions. Tell others to leave you alone.

Problem: Article: Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, can increase your risk of developing some types of fistulas. If you have symptoms of a fistula and you also know or suspect that you have an inflammatory bowel condition, let your doctor know. You may have IBD if you experience persistent diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, bloody stools, fever, nausea, and unexplained weight loss. Diverticulitis, a condition in which small pockets form in the colon and become inflamed or infected, can also lead to fistulas. Fistulas can occur during a difficult or complicated childbirth. Fistulas between the rectum and vagina are particularly common, but you might also develop fistulas around the outside of the anus. After childbirth, follow up regularly with your OB-GYN to make sure any injuries associated with the delivery process are healing up properly. Call your OB-GYN right away if you have recently given birth and are experiencing any symptoms of an infection or fistula, such as fever, pain, or bad-smelling discharge. Any kind of injury to your bowels or pelvic region can put you at risk of developing a fistula. This type of injury may result from trauma (for example, an injury caused by a car accident) or from a complicated pelvic surgery (such as a hysterectomy). You can also develop fistulas as a result of infection, cancer, or radiation therapy that affects your pelvis. Injuries due to radiation therapy may take a long time to develop. If you've had pelvic radiation treatment, you may develop a fistula 6 months to 2 years later. Some types of sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia and HIV, may put you at greater risk of developing a fistula.
Summary:
Determine if you have an inflammatory bowel condition. Look at your childbirth history, if applicable. Examine any history of pelvic injury or infection.
