Problem: Article: Create a deep side part that is in line with the outer edge of your eyebrowthe part may be on the right or left side. With a comb or your fingers, separate your bangs from the rest of your hair. Pull the remainder of your hair into a low ponytail or secure it to your head with a duck bill clip. If you have slippery hair, spray your bangs with dry shampoo. This product will remove any excess oil from your tresses and add texture to your locks. Once you have completed the braid, secure it in place with a small rubber band or clips. To create the illusion of a thicker braid, carefully separate the individual strands of the braid. Choose a tool that is clear or matches color of your hair.
Summary: Part and section your hair. Secure and stretch the Dutch braid.

Problem: Article: Find a spare sock with a long cuff that will fit around your doll's torso, such as a baby sock for a Barbie doll or an adult size sock for a larger doll. You can use a solid color sock or a sock with designs printed on it. Then, cut the sock where the cuff meets the ankle of the sock. If desired, you can trim the sock cuff down even more for a shorter skirt or dress. If you want to make a sock dress, then you will need to cut armholes in the sock. Cut a small hole out of each side of the sock about 0.5 inches (1.3cm) to 1 inch (2.5cm) from the top edge of the sock cuff. Make sure the holes are large enough for your doll's arms to fit through. Don't worry if you make the armholes too small. You can always make them wider later. You don't need to add any decorations to your sock dress or skirt, but you can if you want to. Add these decorations and let the glue dry before you put the sock dress or skirt on your doll. Use fabric paint on the sock to create polka dots, stripes, or another design. Glue on some beads, sequins, or jewels. Use a piece of ribbon or scrap fabric to make a belt or decorative sash for the dress or skirt. Slide the sock onto the doll by putting her legs through the sock dress or skirt first. Insert her arms through the armholes if you made a sock dress.
Summary: Cut the cuff section of a sock from the foot section. Cut out armholes for a dress. Decorate the sock if desired. Put the sock dress or skirt on the doll.

Problem: Article: Place 1 cup (200 g) of rice into a bowl and fill it with cold water. Use your hand to swirl it around and then pour the rice into a fine mesh strainer so the water drains. Return the rice to the bowl and add fresh water. Keep rinsing until the water that's draining runs clear. This will remove excess starch from the rice so it doesn't clump or stick together as it cooks. Use any type of rice, such as basmati rice, sushi rice, brown rice, or long-grain rice. Pour 134 cups (410ml) of water into a pot and cover it with a lid. Heat the water over high until it boils. Then add 1 to 2 pinches of sea salt and the rinsed rice. until it's soft. Put the lid on the pot and turn the burner down to low so the water bubbles very gently. Simmer the rice until it's tender and the grains are soft. Begin checking the rice after 18 minutes. The amount of time it takes will depend on the type of rice you're making. For example, wild rice will take 25 to 30 minutes to cook although short-grain rice will cook much faster. Get out a rimmed baking sheet and transfer the hot rice onto it. Use a spoon or spatula to spread the rice so it's in an even layer. The rice will dry faster and more evenly on a baking sheet than in a bowl. Preheat the oven and put the baking sheet of rice into it once it's hot. Cook the rice at this low temperature for 2 hours to remove all of the moisture from the rice grains. Once the rice is dry, remove it from the oven and turn off the heat. The rice should be completely dry and hard once it's ready to fry. If you prefer a more hands-off method, spread the rice on a dehydrator tray. Place the rice in the dehydrator and dry the rice for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Summary:
Rinse your choice of rice. Bring the water to a boil and add the rice with the salt. Cook the rice Spread the cooked rice on a baking sheet. Dry the rice in a 250F (121C) oven for 2 hours.
