Choose a piece of fabric in the base color of the flag you wish to make. If you're making an American flag, for example, you can stick with plain white. To make a large flag, try to use a piece of fabric measuring 5 foot (1.5m) by 3 foot (0.9m). If you want a smaller flag, a smaller piece of fabric (or even a pillowcase) will do. It doesn't matter what type of fabric these pieces are, they can be nylon or cotton like the flag, or they can be felt, silk, polyester, velour - whatever you can find around the house! Pieces of old clothing, or old tablecloths are perfect for this. For a DIY flag, the flag handle can be made from whatever you choose - it could be a tree branch or an old broom pole - as long as it's strong enough and long enough to hold your flag.

Q: Mix one part sugar with four parts water and bring to a boil. This will help dissolve the sugar completely. Get a brand new sponge and a small dish. Pour the water into the dish on top of the sponge so it is about halfway full. Place the dish with sponge in the butterfly house. Check the solution daily to ensure it isn't growing mold or other bacteria. Rather than throwing out the remaining sugar water, store it in the fridge for later use. Butterflies are attracted to bright colors so decorate the house. Pick a color that will really pop amongst the other foliage like yellow, pink or red. Draw flowers and trees on the house for even more appeal. Be sure to use non-toxic paint. Consider placing a piece of tree bark inside the house to create a more real environment. You probably are well aware that butterflies are drawn to certain plants and flowers. Plant a few around your home like strawberry, dandelion or blueberry. These flowers provide nectar for feeding. You can place a few inside the butterfly house too. Aster, clover, honeydew and thistle are great choices. Skip anything that has been treated with pesticides as this could harm them. Shaded areas will not attract the butterflies. They love to swirl around in the bright sun during feeding and mating. Because of this, having water around will ensure they stick around for longer periods of time. Place a shallow water source outside the house. Pour water on rocks or stone paths in your garden. This may not sound too appealing to you but butterflies love it! Throw out some fruit cores and peels whenever you have them. Overly ripe bananas are an especially good trick. Simply place pieces around the garden and watch the butterflies swarm.
A: Use sugar. Paint the outside. Plant flowers. Keep the house in the sun. Leave rotting fruit.

Article: If you find that you have too much energy during the day, you may be consuming some form of a stimulant. Try to reduce your coffee intake. This is the most popular stimulant used by adults. You may think that you need your morning coffee in order to power through the day. Chances are, if you feel really hyper throughout the day, you may be overloading. Try cutting back on your coffee. Go from 3 to 2 cups a day and see if there is a change. If you are more of a tea drinker, do the same for tea. Caffeinated sodas can also be the culprit. Reduce the amount of soda you drink in a day. Drink water instead. Eat less chocolate. Just like with coffees, teas, and sodas, chocolate won't necessarily lead to hyperactivity, but it can certainly give you a rush of energy that may be interpreted as such. The primary concern with sugars is that they get into your bloodstream quickly. So if you eat a lot of sugary foods, you are constantly feeding your body a source of quick-burning energy. If you normally get really hyper after lunch, reduce the amount of sugar you take in at lunch. See if this helps. Many parents and medical practitioners agree that lab created colors and additives may lead to slightly higher levels of hyperactivity in children. There is no definitive study that points to artificial coloring or additives as a cause of hyperactivity. Studies that do exist rely on subjective findings, in part, because they have to rely on parents to describe the changes in their own children. Other opponents point to the fact that most food items with artificial ingredients are also loaded down with sugar. The stimulant sugar may be the cause of the increased hyperactivity. Eat a lot of fish, like salmon and tuna. Many leafy green vegetables also contain fatty acids. These fatty acids facilitate the transfer of neurotransmitters in the brain. When your neurotransmitters function improperly, it can cause hyperactivity and loss of concentration. Oftentimes, omega-3 fatty acid deficiency and ADHD are mistaken for one another. Since your body cannot create these fatty acids, it is necessary for you to include them in your diet. Since nicotine is a stimulant, you may be getting an unneeded energy boost during your smoke breaks. Try skipping cigarette breaks at points in the day when you might otherwise feel hyper. If the above steps don't help to alleviate hyperactivity, see a nutritionist. They can examine your particular diet and then suggest specific alterations to help your hyperactivity, energy crises.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Avoid stimulants like caffeine. Eat fewer sugary foods. Eat foods without artificial coloring and additives. Consume foods high in omega-3 fatty acids. Stop smoking. Talk to a nutritionist.
