Q: Add all your ingredients to a sauce pan. Mix everything into a uniform mixture. Then, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer. It will take an hour and a half to two hours for your mixture to thicken to a jam-like substance. During this time, stir the mixture regularly to prevent burning. You will have to stir the mixture more towards the end of the cooking process, as it will burn more easily during this time. When you're getting to the end of the simmer process, you can begin to prepare your jam jars. Remove the lids from three pint jars. Place the lids in a pot of water and simmer them over extremely low heat while the jam finishes cooking. After your jam has thickened, fill each jar with jam. Remove the lids from the boiling water, using tongs, and put the lids on the jars once they're cool to the touch. Place your sealed jam jars in boiling water. Allow them to boil for 20 minutes. When you're done, you can store your jam in the fridge. Unopened jars can last up to six months. Open jars will last about six months in the fridge.
A: Simmer all your ingredients. Stir the mixture as it cooks. Simmer jam jar lids over low heat. Add the jam to the jars and seal. Boil the jars for 20 minutes.

Q: At most craft stores, you'll find an array of plastic gems as well as embroidered patches with adhesive backs. Simply peel the decorations off of the backing paper and place them adhesive-side down onto the shoe. Press firmly and place your hand on the inside of the shoe to add support, if necessary. Sparkly rhinestones and crystals can be arranged in beautiful designs to dress up an everyday or evening shoe. Quirky patches can add character to casual sneakers. You can use these materials on their own, or combine them with flat drawn or painted designs. Pick up a bottle of puffy paint or glitter glue bottle at a craft supply store and practice squeezing out the paint on a piece of scrap paper until you reach the desired level of thickness and control. Squeeze the paint directly onto the shoe, moving in a steady line or curve. Or you can create dots or small geometric shapes. Allow the paint to dry overnight before wearing your new kicks. The puffy paint or glitter glue should be stiff. Use masking tape to cover the parts of the shoe you don't want to decorate. Pour some leather shoe paint or Mod Podge adhesive into a cup and mix the loose glitter into it until you reach the desired consistency. Use a paintbrush to apply a base layer of the glittery mixture onto the shoes. Allow this to dry completely before applying more layers. Repeat this process until your shoes reach the right density of glitter. For even more sparkle, apply spray adhesive onto the shoe and shake the loose glitter out onto it. Seal this off with a layer of Mod Podge to prevent the glitter from shedding. Pick out a large bag or can of loose glitter to make sure that you have enough to cover your shoes.
A: Stick adhesive-backed rhinestones, crystals, or patches onto your shoes. Use puffy paint or glitter glue to add 3-dimensional texture. Decorate your shoes with loose glitter and Mod Podge.

Q: Combine 32 oz (1 liter) of warm water with 3/4 cup (180 ml) liquid dish detergent. As before, any liquid dish detergent will work regardless of potency or added chemicals. Shake the bottle well to make sure that the soap and water are combined. Douse any bugs you cannot knock down with the spray and apply the solution along any area you suspect the stink bugs might come in through. Even though this does not work as quickly as drowning the insects does, the soap with react with the waxy coating on the exterior of the stink bug, breaking that coating down and ultimately dehydrating the pest. Stink bugs usually sneak in through cracks, windows, doors, and vents. Spray a heavy coating of this solution around those areas so that invading stink bugs will walk through it and eventually die.
A: Fill a spray bottle with soapy water. Spray the solution on bugs and along cracks.

Q: MS Paint has an icon that resembles a painters pallet. Use the following steps to open MS Paint for Windows. Click the Windows Start menu in the lower-left corner. Type "Paint". Click the MS Paint icon. Use the following steps to open an image in MS Paint. Click File in the upper-left corner. Click Open. Select an image. Click Open.

It's at the top of the "Resize and Skew" window. 10% is a good size for a thumbnail image. Larger photos will need to be reduced greater. Alternatively, you can select "Pixels" and type the exact dimensions in Pixels you want the image to be next to "Vertical" and "Horizontal". This reduces the size of the photo. Use the following steps to reduce the size of the photo. Click File Click Save.
A:
Open MS Paint. Open an image you want to make a thumbnail for. Create a copy of the image. Click Resize. Tick "Percentage". Type the percentage you want to reduce the image size next to "Horizontal" or "Vertical". Click Ok. Save the photo.
