Find a pair of clean socks that match your hair color. Cut the toes off, then roll each sock from top-to-bottom to form a doughnut shape. The socks need to be long enough to cover your ankle, otherwise your buns will turn out too small.

Summary: Create a set of sock buns.

Make sure you're wearing your gloves, goggles, and mask before you start cutting your glass. This will prevent avoidable injuries like cuts and stop pieces of glass from getting into your eyes. Once you know where you want to cut on your piece of glass, roll your glass cutter across the surface of the glass, creating a score line where you want the glass to break apart. Finding the right amount of pressure to use with your glass cutter might take a few tries. Too little pressure will cause the glass to break unevenly, while too much pressure will create chipped edges. Do a couple practice cuts on a spare piece of glass until you get a feel for the tool. You can use pliers or your hands to apply the pressure to both sides of the score line. The glass should break in a clean line along the line you scored. Use the same method whether it's a curved or straight line you're running. Cut circles, squares, triangles, or whatever shapes you want to use in your design. Remember that you can stack your glass pieces and fuse them directly on the kiln shelf, or you can lay them over a slumping mold to create a three-dimensional piece.

Summary: Put on your safety gear. Use your glass cutter to create a score line. Apply pressure to the glass to break, or "run", the score. Cut your glass into whatever shapes you want to fuse.

Peppermint tea is a perennial favorite for many people. Peppermint is generally easy to grow and enjoys semi-shaded spots. Keep mint out of full sun, though, or it may begin to wilt. The herb can quickly spread from one part of a garden to another, so unless you want it escaping across the herb garden, keep it pot-bound. Peppermint tea is made from the leaves of the peppermint plant. The taste of peppermint is uplifting and cleansing, and can help settle an upset stomach. Lavender leaves are a delightful, softly fragrant tisane that are perfect for making a soothing cup of tea. Lavender grows well when placed in in full sun. Plant your lavender in well-drained soil. It prefers not to be over-watered, so only water the lavender when its soil is completely dry. Lavender buds and flowers are both used for tea. Similarly to peppermint tea, lavender tea is recommended for reducing tension in your body and soothing headaches. As the name indicates, lemon verbena packs a refreshing and tangy lemony taste in its easy-to-grow leaves. It needs full sun and will not tolerate harsh winters, so keep it pot-bound and indoors if the region you live in has cold winters. The leaves are used for tea. Lemon verbena grows quickly during warm summer months, so you'll be able to collect multiple harvests. Rose hips are the seed cases that the rose flower grows out of. They are extremely high in vitamin C and consequently offer the health benefits that the vitamin provides. Rose hips will form once the rose bush goes to seed. The rose hips should be deep orange-red before harvesting. Rinse the rose hips to remove clinging soil before steeping them in hot water. Bergamot is a popular choice for herbal teas because it carries a touch of orange flavor. The plant produces gorgeous bright red, violet, or pink flowers and grows best in full sun or semi-shade. The herb thrives in full sun to partial shade, and does best when left relatively dry. Bergamot also has mild health benefits: it acts as a digestive and diuretic, and can reduce a mild headache. Both the leaves and flowers of bergamot are suitable for steeping. Chamomile is one of the more common herbs used in teas. It is a delightful apple-scented herb, which is traditionally used to induce calm and sleep. Chamomile tolerates full sun to semi-shade. Chamomile flowers are easily grown from seeds. The flowers are the preferred part for making the tea. Chamomile is visually appealing as well. It makes a gorgeous but delicate lawn feature with small daisy-like flowers.
Summary: Plant peppermint leaves. Consider planting lavender. Grow lemon verbena. Cultivate rose hips. Plant bergamot. Grow chamomile.
