Q: Loop the ribbon over and sew the other ribbon end to the other end of the elastic so that the elastic completes the ribbon loop. The elastic section should allow the ribbon to lay smoothly over your sleeve, yet hold it in place. Adjust as necessary.
A: Measure ribbon to fit around your arm. Cut it to length. Fold the ends under and stitch them under. Sew a short length of elastic onto one end of the ribbon. Slid up over your arm.

Q: Vacuum on a regular basis to suck up and kill any spiders or egg sacs in your home. Pay special attention to the cracks and corners in your home and remove any spiderwebs that you notice. Make sure to keep your storage in the basement, garage or attic well organized and clutter-free. Regularly wipe down your shutters, caulk all cracks, and put weather strips on your doors. Make sure to de-clutter piles of rocks, wood, or compost around your home so that your yard is a less appealing environment to spiders. Dissolve regular table salt in warm water, put the solution in a spray bottle, and spray the plants surrounding the outside of your home to keep spiders away. You can also mix water with lavender, cinnamon, citrus, tea tree, or peppermint oil and spray it in problem areas to repel and even kill spiders from a distance. Bugs will be less drawn to your home if you keep the exterior lights off. Because of this, you can cut spiders' food supply with just the flick of a switch. Replace your lights with sodium vapor lights or yellow lights as an alternative. These types of lights are much less attractive to bugs.
A: Keep your home clean. Take care of your home's exterior. Make spider repellents. Keep your outdoor lights off.

Q: People with Type 1 skin will have a combined score of 0-6 for all of the questions above. They have very light skin and burn extremely easily. To protect yourself you should: Wear a strong sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 whenever you go out. Using a stronger sunscreen would be even better. Be sure to put it on at all times, not just in the summer or at the beach. Consider using a moisturizer that has a sunscreen in it each morning. Minimize your exposure to the sun by wearing long sleeves and long pants and hats. You can still get burned even when it is cloudy. Get screened for skin cancer at least once a year. You have a high risk for cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Every few weeks you should examine your skin for growths or moles that are getting bigger or changing shape. If you spot anything, go to a dermatologist immediately. If you scored between 7 and 12, you have Type 2 skin. People with Type 2 skin are slightly less vulnerable to skin damage than Type 1, but they still burn easily and need to be diligent about wearing sunscreen. You should: Wear sunscreen when you go outside. This includes both sunny and cloudy days. The easiest way to do this is to use a moisturizer that has a sunscreen in it. To be effective it should offer a minimum of SPF 30 protection. Covering up as much as possible with light long sleeves, hats, and long pants will help as well. Go to the dermatologist at least once a year to have your freckles, moles, and any other spots examined. You also have a high risk for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Check your skin yourself every month and call your dermatologist if you notice any spots that are growing or changing. If you scored between 13 and 18, you have Type 3 skin. People with Type 3 have more natural skin pigmentation than Types 1 and 2, but they still often sustain sun damage. You can minimize your risks by: Wearing a sunscreen of at least SPF 15 each day and avoiding direct sunlight during the hours when the sun is the strongest. This means staying indoors or staying in the shade as much as possible between 10 am and 4 pm. If you cannot do that because you work outside, use sunscreen and also wear long sleeve shirts, long pants, and a wide brimmed hat. Go to the dermatologist each year to get checked for skin cancers. People with Type 3 are also vulnerable to basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Check your skin yourself each month to make sure you have no spots that are growing or changing shape. If you scored between 19 and 24, you have Type 4 skin. This means you usually tan and rarely burn. However, this does not mean that your skin cannot get damaged. You should still protect yourself: Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or greater each day and avoid the strongest rays of the sun. Stay in the shade as much as you can during the middle of the day. Check your skin for growths each months and have a professional exam once per year. While you have a lower risk for skin cancers, you can still get them. If you scored between 25 and 30, you have Type 5 skin. This means that you are unlikely to burn even when your skin absorbs sunlight and sustains damage. You should protect yourself by: Wearing a light sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher each day. This will protect you from damaging ultraviolet rays. In particular, try to stay out the direct sunlight during the middle of the day when the rays are the strongest. Watch for signs of acral lentiginous melanoma. This type of cancer occurs more frequently in people with darker skin. It is particularly dangerous because it often occurs in areas that do not get high exposure to sunlight. This means that people often don't recognize it until it is advanced. If you notice growths on your palms, the bottoms of your feet, or your mucous membranes, call your dermatologist right away. Examine yourself monthly and always go for a yearly exam. If you scored 31 or higher, you have Type 5 skin. This means that you don't burn, even when you are out in strong sunlight. You are still vulnerable to skin cancers and need to protect yourself. Using a mild sunscreen of 15 or higher will protect you from some of the worst rays. You can also avoid spending a long time outside in the sun during the middle of the day. Recognize acral lentiginous melanoma. People with very dark skin can get these melanomas in areas where they are less likely to be recognized soon enough. They often occur on mucous membranes, the soles of the feet, or the hands. Don't skip your yearly dermatologist appointment and be diligent about examining your skin each month for odd growths.
A: Watch out for skin damage if you have Type 1. Take care of your skin if you have Type 2. Avoid deep burns if you have Type 3 skin. Don't tan too deeply if you have Type 4 skin. Monitor your skin for signs of damage even if you have Type 5. Protect yourself even if you have Type 6.

Q: Itching, mild or more severe, can be an indication that you have an outer ear infection. You may itch inside your ear or along the outside. However, a slight itch doesn't automatically mean you have an outer ear infection. Any kind of drainage from the ear can indicate an ear infection. However, look for drainage with color--yellow or green. Also, if the drainage smells bad, that could also indicate an ear infection. If you have pain in your ear, it could indicate an ear infection. If you press on your ear and the pain worsens, that's even more likely to be an indicator of an ear infection. In severe cases, pain may begin spreading across your face, which means you need to get to a doctor immediately, as the infection is spreading. Look at your ear closely in a mirror. If you can see some redness, that may also indicate an ear infection. Hearing loss is a more advanced symptom of ear infections, so if you begin to notice your hearing going in an ear along with other symptoms, that is definitely a reason to see a doctor. At its most advanced stage, your ear canal will be blocked completely. If your ear or lymph nodes swell, that is a far progression of an ear infection. Another advanced symptom is a fever.
A:
Notice itching. Look for drainage. Pay attention to pain. Check for redness. Notice hearing loss. Look for the advanced symptoms.
