INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Either purchase sand at your local craft or hardware store, or gather some from a nearby beach. If collecting sand from a beach, be wary of hazardous materials and waste. Though you will later sift the sand, try to pick out noticeable things like paper or large pebbles. Be very careful when collecting sand from a beach. Use rubber gloves as there may be broken glass or other hazardous materials. Store gathered sand in tightly sealed plastic bags. Hold the bags upside down and see if any sand leaks out. This will help you reduce unwanted sand in your car and house. Store-bought sand will be smooth and even, but beach sand often has rocks that need to be separated from the sand grains. Place a bucket on the ground and put a sifter over top. This sifter could be an old sifter from the kitchen or fine netting, like a window screen, that is secured over the bucket using duct tape. If you are using a metal sifter from the kitchen, do not use it again for food-related preparation. Pour the collected sand onto the mesh of the sifter or screen. Shake the screen lightly so the sand will filter through into the bucket. You may need to occasionally clear the mesh of any stones, shells, or other debris. Continue this process until all the sand has been sifted. You can use plastic containers with lids or plastic storage bags. Storage bags are best because they will require less cleanup and will reduce any additional mess caused during the stirring process. Baking dishes and bowls are also acceptable containers. Be sure to thoroughly scrub any kitchenware afterward, especially if dying gathered sand. You want to avoid leaving behind any sand or potentially hazardous materials in the sand. This will help evenly distribute the dye when you apply it later. Aim for a damp consistency and avoid soaking or submerging the sand completely. Don't worry if you add too much water; this will simply making the drying process longer. Any kind of dye will work for this project, but fabric dye seems to produce the most vibrant dyed sand. Food coloring is also acceptable for dying sand. You may need to add dye several times until it gets to the desired shade you like. The sand will dry lighter so do not worry if the dye is very dark. Dry tempera paint powder is a nice additive that helps create bright colors. Tempera powder can be purchased in most arts and crafts stores. Be cautious while handling dye as it can stain skin, clothing, and furniture. This process will vary depending on what container you have used to separate sand. If you are using a container with a lid, you will need a plastic spoon that you can throw away after you finish the project. Scrape the sides of the container to make sure you color everything. Seal the container and set the wet sand to the side to soak up the dye for at least an hour. For a storage bag, simply seal the bag tightly and massage the sand until the color is consistent throughout. Set the bag aside for at least an hour so the sand can soak up the dye. Pour out any excess water first, then spread your damp sand on a plate or flat surface. Leave the sand to dry, preferably in a sunny place, for a few hours. You may wish to put paper towels over the plate before putting the sand down to help soak up any excess dye. You can also bake the sand to help speed up the drying process and further infuse the colors. Simply place the sand in a baking pan and bake on 200F (93C) for 15 minutes. Make sure you pull the sand out of the oven while it is still damp and let it dry naturally overnight; sand that has been baked completely dry can have faded and less vibrant colors. Once your dyed sand has completely dried, store it in dry plastic containers with easily sealed lids. For safety purposes, store sealed sand outside of the kitchen. You don't want to accidentally mistake it for a spice or cooking powder. Make sure you reseal the lids tightly after each sand art project. This will keep unwanted materials from ruining the color as well as prevent accidental spills inside the house.

SUMMARY: Collect sand. Sift the sand. Divide the sand into separate containers. Add water to the sand. Pour dye onto the sand. Mix the dye and sand together thoroughly. Allow your sand to dry. Package the dry sand.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Although blood blisters will heal on their own, and should be left to do this in most cases, there are times when draining them might be the best option. For example, if it is collecting a lot of blood and causing a lot of pain. Or if it is getting so big it is likely to tear anyway. Think about if you really need to drain it, and err on the side of caution. This is especially the case with blood blisters, which require more careful treatment than normal blisters. If you do decide to drain it, you have to be careful and methodical in order to limit the chances of infection. Due to the risk of infection, you should never drain a blood blister if you have a condition such as HIV, diabetes, heart disease or cancer. If you have decided that you need to drain the blood blister you need to ensure you do not infect it. Wash your hands, and the area where the blister is, thoroughly with soap and water before you begin. Next sterilize a needle with rubbing alcohol. You are going to use this needle to lance the blister. (Never use a straight pin - they are less sharp than a needle, and sometimes have bur on the end.) Carefully and gently puncture the edge of the blister with the needle. The fluid will begin to drain out of the hole you have made. You can apply very gentle pressure to help it on its way if necessary. Now apply an antiseptic (assuming you have no allergies) such as betadine, to the blister. Clean around the blister and dress it with a sterile dressing. Once you have done this you should avoid pressure or friction on the blister as much as possible. To ward off potential infection you should observe it closely and regularly change the dressing.

SUMMARY:
Decide if it is best to drain the blood blister. Prepare to lance the blood blister. Lance and drain the blood blister. Clean up and dress the drained blood blister.
