INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To make this fast, simple, and inexpensive gift, you will need: embroidery floss, earring clips, paper clips, and a clear, quick drying glue like Fabri-Tac. You should be able to find all of these supplies at your local craft store. Unfold the paper clips so they create even, triangle shapes. Slide the earring clips onto the triangle paper clips and secure the two ends of the triangles together. Secure the ends with clear tape to ensure they stay together. Knot one end of the embroidery floss to one corner of the paper clip. Glue it in place with the Fabri-Tac. Run a dab of glue along the entire base of the paper clip to keep the floss in place. Continue to wrap the floss around the paper clip, creating an even layer of colorful floss. Once you have wrapped the entire paper clip or made your desired design, finish the earrings by trimming off any excess floss and gluing the last strand of floss in place. This is a good homemade gift to make with friends, as supplies like soil and gravel are cheaper in bulk. You will need a bag of tiny charcoal, a bag of clean soil, a bag of gravel, a small glass or plastic bowl (look for this at your local craft store), a variety of succulents, moss, and any other small decorative rocks or sticks (found at your local nursery or plant store), a small scoop, a set of chopsticks or pencils, and a spray bottle with water. Make a work area by covering a table or the floor with newspapers. Put a layer of gravel in your container. Then, sprinkle a some charcoal bits on top of the gravel. The charcoal will absorb the earthy smell. Add a layer of soil on top of the gravel and charcoal. Make sure it is an inch or two deep, or deep enough to support the succulents. Give the bowl a light spray with the water bottle, and clean the sides of the bowl. This will make sure the soil is moist enough to hold the plants. Then, pat down the soil with your hand. You could also adjust the soil so it is diagonal in the bowl. This will showcase the plants better. Use a chopstick or a pencil to dig a hole in the soil that's just big enough to insert the plants. Trim the stem of the succulents and plant the remaining stem. For greenery that has deep roots, trim the roots and leave some of them so they can grow back into the soil. Add sheet moss to fill in the holes around the plants. The moss is preserved so it won't grow, but it will maintain its color and add a nice decorative detail to the terrarium. Finish the terrarium by adding in any small decorative items like stones or sticks. You can also add tiny toy animals or birds. Get creative and personalize your terrarium. To make this heart warming homemade gift, you'll need a clean milk bottle or a 1-quart mason jar. You can also customize the ingredients to make any variety of bread. For this example, we'll be focusing on Chocolate Chip Oatmeal bread. You'll need: 2 cups all purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, cup granulated sugar, cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, teaspoon cinnamon, teaspoon salt, cup chopped walnuts, and cup chocolate chips. Pour the flour into your bottle or jar. Tap the sides of the bottle so the layer is even and flat. Then, slowly add in the oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon into the bottle one at a time. Tap between each layer so they are nicely distributed in the bottle. Add in the walnuts and chocolate chips as the last two layers in the bottle. Cut a small piece of paper and write down the recipe, as well as the wet ingredients to add to the bottle of dry ingredients (1 cups buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and cup melted butter). Make sure you also add a note about baking the bread in a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit in the oven for about 50 minutes. Feel free to also draw or doodle on the paper as a finishing touch and then stick the paper to the bottle of dry ingredients with tape. This could be the person's favorite recipe for shortbread cookies or a new recipe for dark chocolate brownies that you think the person will like. Look for recipes that involve only a few, easy to find ingredients and don't involve a lot of bake time to keep your gift within budget. This is a great way to make a very personal, one of a kind gift for someone. Use a program like Photoshop or collage software to build a collage on your computer or get really hands on and collage photo copied or scanned photos on a piece of poster board. To make the collage even more impressive looking, get it framed professionally or purchase a frame from a craft store and frame it yourself.

SUMMARY: Create a pair of paperclip earrings. Make a plant terrarium. Build a "bread in a jar". Make cookies or other baked goods. Create a photo collage.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Getting a drastic haircut is the quickest way to look completely different. If you want to disguise yourself, though, you're going to want to pick something that won't draw attention--a blue mohawk or a pink costume wig probably aren't the best choices. Men can style their hair differently by using products like hair spray or gel to create a more elaborate "do" than usual, or could shave their head completely. Also consider a dye-job, or using cheap talcum powder to make some gray streaks that will really throw people. If you have facial hair, shave it into a different shape or get rid of it completely. If you don't have any, consider growing a beard or a sneaky mustache. Women can consider getting a realistic-looking wig or extensions to change the basic shape of their hair. You can also quickly go back to your "old" style that way, if you want to for further disguises. Keep them guessing by changing frequently and without warning. Dye your hair a different color each week and ensure that you'll never be noticed. Try combinations of highlight patterns and full dye jobs. It worked for Clark Kent. By adding some frames to your wardrobe, you'll pass the "glance test." People will recognize you when they look closely, sure, but you'll be able to get past their initial screen. By adding glasses or sunglasses, you'll round out a disguise. If you have contacts, consider trying color-change contacts, or digging out those old frames you no longer wear. For a dramatic effect, paint moles, beauty marks, wrinkles or other imperfections on your face. Lighten or darken your skin to further confuse people. Get a spray-on tan or a conspicuous fake tattoo. If you're a guy, or even if you just don't normally wear make-up, a little can go a long way in changing your appearance. Just adding some eyeliner and changing your clothes can give you a whole different aura. Try changing your height with heeled shoes, or by slouching more and carrying yourself differently than usual. Consider losing or gaining weight, if you have the time to do so, or simply begin dressing as if you had. Pad your clothes with extra layers to look as if you've put on a few pounds.

SUMMARY:
Change your hair. Wear glasses and sunglasses. Make friends with make-up. Change your size and posture.
