You'll need about half of a yard of fabric to make one bow. The classic hair bow shape looks pretty with any type of fabric or pattern. Choose a solid color that matches your favorite outfit or go for a funky pattern that will make a statement. Consider the following options when you pick out your fabric: Sturdy fabrics like cotton, linen or denim will make your bow stiff and well-shaped. Stretchy or limp fabrics will create a floppy bow. Choose a fabric with a texture that will create the look you want. Large designs won't be completely visible once the fabric has been turned into a bow. Small polka dots, stripes, and other tiny patterns will show up well. There are many ways to affix the finished bow to your hair. Look for the following options at your local craft store: If you want to wear the bow as a barrette, buy a plan metal barrette to attach to the finished bow. Consider gluing the hair bow onto a fabric or plastic headband. The fabric and the backing are the most important elements of the hair bow, but to complete the job you will also need these other supplies: Thread to sew the bow. Choose thread that is the same color as your fabric or go with a contrasting thread that will stand out. Fabric scissors. Sewing pins to hold the bow in place while you sew. A sewing machine or a needle you can use to sew by hand. A glue gun or extra-strength fabric glue.

Summary: Find the right fabric. Choose a backing for the bow. Buy other bow-making supplies.

This is especially important if you're creating a design that you want to look professional. Make sure you measure out where your holes should be in the leather, and then mark the spot with a marker or pen. Don't make the mark too big you want it small enough to disappear when you punch a hole through the leather at that spot. You can do this by hand with an awl or with a leather punch. The hole just needs to be big enough for you to get the post of the rivet through. The underside of the leather is usually less finished and will often be a lighter color. Make sure you push your rivet up through the leather from this side, or it will end up upside down. Your rivet post should only extend about 1/8 inch (0.3 cm) above the surface of the leather. You can buy pretty small anvils from most leather working supply stores. You only need an anvil big enough to accommodate the size of the leather you're working on. Place it on the anvil with the bottom of the leather facing down and the post sticking up. Some rivet caps will make a clicking or snapping noise when you place it over the top of the post. The rivet cap is the part that looks "finished" it's usually brass or copper and has a convex top. The rivet setter looks like a small metal cylinder, and it has a concave end that allows that cap to fit snugly against it. Place the setter over the cap so that the cap is flush against the setter. You don't want to hit the setter too hard, because that can dent the rivet. Instead, give the setter a few short taps with a soft mallet or hammer. If the rivet has been set, you should be able to pick up the piece of leather without the rivet post or cap falling off. If they do, reset them and give the setter a little bit of a harder bang.

Summary: Mark where you want your hole. Punch a hole in your leather. Push the rivet post up through the underside of the leather. Place your leather piece on an anvil. Put the rivet cap on top of the post. Place your rivet setter over the cap. Tap the setter with a soft mallet or small hammer. Check that the rivet is set.

Consider dropping your own assessments of their problem and related ideas about how to fix things. Instead, consider ways you could be more empathetic. For instance, consider letting go of your desire to fix their problem and try to understand the details of their situation. You may not agree with their interpretation of their situation, but you should still listen attentively and try to understand them. Often, unsolicited advice comes from a place of not adequately understanding the situation or challenge that another person is going through. To move beyond this problem, you could try to understand and empathize with the challenge that they are going through. It might help to ask them clarifying questions: "Can you tell me a little more about that?" "That sounds really tough. I'm not sure I understand how you got into that situation. Can you remind me how that happened?" After listening attentively, you can ask them directly how you could help out. They may simply say that you are helping by offering an attentive ear. If they need something specific, they may tell you. If they are specifically looking for advice, they will have the opportunity to ask you for it. Try saying: "I'm here anytime you need me. Really, anything you need." "What can I do to help?" Advice that is specifically requested is much more appreciated than unsolicited advice. If you are called upon to give advice, you can go ahead and offer your two cents on how to resolve the situation. Give advice if they ask the following kinds of questions: "I really need advice on how to resolve this situation with my brother. I'm at a loss right now. Do you have any experience that would help?" "Have you ever dealt with a family member dealing with depression? Do you have any advice based on that experience?" Rather than telling them specific things to do, you should convey your care for them and listen to their problems. You shouldn't promise to keep any secrets, since you may have to convey the information to a mental health professional. Listen with attentive ears to everything they have to say and try to be there for them. If there is an emergency, you should call 911 and wait until help arrives.

Summary: Stop trying to fix their problems. Try to understand their state of affairs. Ask how you can help. Give advice if they specifically ask for it. Talk to them if they are at risk of self harm.

Look up the type of plant that you have and see if it correctly digests acidic products. Many herbs and indoor plants will be suitable for this liquid coffee treatment. These are some examples that you can spray a coffee mixture on: Spider plants Roses Hydrangeas African Violets. As well as using up the liquid, there are ways to also get rid of the grounds that are beneficial for suitable plants. For example, you can combine coffee grounds with soil, compost or fertilizer. These products can then be given to plants such as the following, to boost their growth: Lettuce Gardenias Azaleas Hibiscus.
Summary: Research to see whether your plant is acid-friendly. Use coffee grounds on other plants.
