In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Prepare at least four custard dishes or small bowls. Spoon about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of prepared white frosting into each dish. There are multiple ways to create orange frosting, but each one requires a base of white frosting. You'll need at least four samples of white frosting, but setting up six to twelve will allow you to experiment with more options. You should obtain at least four different food dyes: one orange, one red, one yellow, and one black. Consider getting additional hues of red and yellow for additional experiments. Ideally, you should use paste, powder, or gel food dyes that are designed for use with frosting. Avoid liquid food dyes since these tend to have a negative effect on frosting consistency. Dunk separate, clean toothpicks into one container of red food coloring and one container of yellow food coloring. Mix both dyes into another sample of white frosting, continuing until no streaks remain. The combination should result in an orange frosting. This second sample may not look exactly the same as your first, of course, since the red and yellow you use may result in a slightly different hue. Create another sample of orange frosting using the orange food dye or the combined red and yellow dyes. Mix a very small dot of black food coloring into the sample, as well. The black should darken the shade of the orange without changing the hue. Only use small amounts of black food coloring at a time, though, since even small amounts can have a dramatic impact on the color of the frosting. If you prepared any additional samples of white icing, you can use them to experiment with different combinations or food colorings. Take notes so you'll be able to duplicate the same orange hues and values later. Most food coloring manufacturers have recommendations for you to follow, but you can easily experiment on your own. Several ideas include: Combine nine parts red with ten parts yellow to create a rosy peach color. Mix two parts orange with one part golden yellow to make an apricot color. Create a rusty orange by mixing eight parts orange, two parts red, and one part brown.
Summary: Set up a few samples. Combine red and yellow food coloring in another sample. Create a darker shade of orange. Try other combinations as desired.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This is a creative method for hiding a cut in the side, using Papier-mache paste to seal the opening. If the papier-mache ends up too thick, too weak, or too sticky, its presence will be obvious. This method is best used on letters that won't be carefully examined or heavily handled. You may also need plenty of time to adjust the papier-mache seal. Hold it up to a bright light or window so you can see the shadow of the document inside. Take a mental note of its position and take care not to disturb the document inside. Using a pair of sharp, small scissors, snip off an absolutely tiny corner, preferably the bottom, while ensuring you do not snip the document. Cut along the crease of the side of the envelope, not removing any width but effectively opening your envelope. You can now read the document inside, or insert any materials you forgot to include in your mailing list. Mix white flour and water together to a fairly runny consistency. Test this on a spare piece of folded paper to see if it will stay stuck together once dried. Add more flour if necessary until the mixture dries strong in a thin layer. Boiling the flour-water paste will make the mixture dry clear instead of white or off-white, but will also make it weaker. Boiling is crucial for dark-colored envelopes to make the papier-mache less obvious. Using a letter opener or some other smooth-edged instrument, spread the paper mache paste to the edge of the cut in the envelope. Make sure not to get the document inside wet. Wait until fully dry. For a stronger seal, apply a second layer of papier-mache paste. Repeat until there are no holes visible and the side stays stuck together. Work slowly to avoid scratching the envelope itself, especially if there is ink on the edge you're sanding. After the visible paste is removed, the envelope should look like an ordinary envelope that has never been opened.
Summary: Know the risks. Hold the envelope in front of the light. Cut the corner of the envelope. Slice open the short side of the envelope. Make a small amount of papier-mache paste. Seal the cut with Papier-mache once finished. Wait for it to dry and repeat if necessary. Using fine sandpaper, sand away the rough bits of paste from your envelope.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your life is exactly that: your life. You should be living your life and doing things so that you are happy, not to please anyone else. There is a saying that you can't please everybody and it is absolutely true, so don't expect or try to make everyone happy all the time. The best you can do is make yourself happy and try to live according to what you believe is right and good. Most importantly, you will develop the greatest sense of self-worth when you stop trying to please the "popular" crowd and start trying to please yourself. If pleasing yourself means that you want to have a lot of friends, then do things that make other people want to be friends with you by accomplishing great things and being a wonderful person. Don't try to make friends by wearing the right clothes or getting into trouble. People that spend time with you for these reasons aren't really your friends and will only end up hurting you in the long run. Be you, don't be someone else. Instead of going with the crowd and wearing all the popular brands, develop a unique sense of style. This will make you stand out and give you confidence by giving you something to identify with. Be sure that this style is one that means something to you and that you feel communicates something about who you are as a person. Style inspirations include: 1920-40s "dapper" look, 1980s punk, Japanese street fashion, or early 1990s grunge. Any style or image which speaks to you is great! Figure out who you are and what makes you happy by exploring things you care about or find interesting. Do you think parkour looks cool? Do it! Have you always wanted to learn how to dance? Do it! The only thing barring you from pursuing things that you're passionate about is you. Many high schools have clubs which will give you the chance to try out new sports, games, arts and other activities. Local community colleges or universities will also have clubs which teens may be able to participate in if they ask very nicely and pay a small fee. The best way to deal with the harder aspects of life is to have great friends. Great friends remind you how fun and wonderful you really are. To keep your self-esteem high, find friends who understand and like you for who you really are. Good friends should like a lot of the same things as you and have some of the same goals in life. This will make sure that you connect on a deeper level and will help you motivate each other throughout your friendship. It's okay if your friends don't like all of the same things that you do, however. Some differences are good and will allow you to open up your mind to new possibilities. Don't be friends with people who drag you down. Anyone who makes your life worse isn't really your friend. If they make you feel bad about yourself or they want you to do bad things, then you shouldn't be friends with them. Friends should bring out the best in us, not the worst! Don't just let people push you around. Don't just give in to the desires of everyone around you. It's good to try to make people happy and it's good not to be self-centered, but you need to focus on you and being your own person. Being assertive, standing up for what's right for you, will do a lot for your self-confidence and self-esteem. If you are having a conversation with your friends or classmates, give your opinion. Ask for things that you need. Say "no" when you need or want to say "no". And most importantly: don't feel guilty when you do these things!
Summary:
Don't live to please others. Develop a sense of style. Explore your passions. Find people who understand you. Be assertive.
