Problem: Article: Sometimes called a crown, the typical base for a warbonnet is a round cap made from leather or felt. You may also use a long strip of material that can wrap around the wearer's head and be laced together. If intended to be worn, rather than displayed, the cap should be cut so it fits the wearer's head, extending just above the eyebrows and halfway down the ears. Traditionally, this skullcap or headband was made from buffalo or deerskin. You can make your own crown by curling a piece of leather or felt into a dome, cutting off the overlap, then stitching the two pieces together. Lay the feathers out along the cap or band at regular intervals. Punch holes along the rim of the cap with an awl, or cut small slits using a sharp knife. There should be two holes per feather, directly on either side of the quill stem. The feathers of a warbonnet generally extend at minimum from one ear to the other, curving over the forehead. Feathers can also be worn individually or in small groups on the forehead, as a lesser status symbol. Attach the feathers to the cap by sewing a waxed leather cord through the holes on the cap, and through the feather loops, in the order you arranged them. Tie off the cord at each end with a strong knot, using glue to strengthen it if necessary. You may use strong thread instead, but this is unlikely to last. Ideally, the feathers should stay straight and parallel to each other, or flared outward in a cone shape. If the feathers fall in other directions, you may punch additional holes in the cap, halfway between the dome and the rim. Sew a second cord around the quills at this location to keep them in place. Many warbonnets, but not all, have a beaded or quilled browband displayed on the wearer's forehead. You can buy ready-made browbands at some stores, or you can make your own by gluing colored beads onto a strip of felt or leather. To attach a browband, sew it on from the center outward with a leather cord or strong thread. Sew in holes no more than " (1 cm) apart. Consider purchasing the browband from a Native American tribe of the Great Plains, to support the original practitioners of the tradition. Another common decoration or status symbol, the side drops are two long strips of fur, one hanging from each side of the warbonnet just above the ears. Traditionally, ermine tails were used, but long strips of white rabbit fur are more easily available. Sew them on using the same cord you used for the feathers or browband. The term "rosette" refers to any circular decoration on the side of the warbonnet. These may be made from beads, fur, or even additional feathers tied in a circular position. They are usually attached using additional leather cords, and may cover up the attachment points for the side drops.
Summary: Find a skullcap or headband. Punch holes into the rim of the cap. Sew a cord through the feather loops and cap holes. Add another cord (optional). Attach a browband (optional). Add side drops (optional). Make and attach rosettes (optional).

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: First of all, you need to think about what kind and size of cage you need to make your hamster as happy and content as possible. The minimum amount of floor space required for hamsters is 450 sq inches. Keep that in mind, as most pet stores sell hamster cages that are far too small and costly. Bin cages are cheap and big; look up "how to make a hamster bin cage" and a lot of videos and articles will show up. They are easy and cheap to make, and definitely worth the time. Be sure that whichever cage you choose it is one which has a solid floor so that you can provide ample bedding material for digging and burrowing. Wire or mesh floors can also cause a painful disease called Bumblefoot. Connecting many smaller cages that end up being 360 sq. inches doesn't count, as is done in Habitrail Ovo or Crittertrail. Hamsters run miles and miles in the wild, so they need a continuous running space, not a lot of tiny compartments connected together. Syrian and Chinese hamsters can NOT be kept together in one cage as they are very territorial and WILL fight. They could seriously injure or kill each other. There are three most popular minimums, and although it is not the law, you should get a cage that is big enough. The American minimum is on the small side. The German minimum is best, but the RSPCA minimum will do. You cannot connect multiple smaller cages to make the minimum, as hamsters need the space to run around as they would in the wild. The minimums are: American/Hamster Hideout forum minimum - 360 sq. in RSPCA/United Kingdom minimum - 80x50cm German minimum - 1 sq. m Although recommendations vary, the basic principle is the bigger the better. It's best to start with a new cage, but if you buy or use an old one, clean it with mild baby soap, and rinse throughout. To take away the smell of the of the previous occupant, you can also use a mixture of white vinegar and water but only do this occasionally. You can also get some pet-safe disinfectant spray or wipes You should take care when deciding where you will put the cage, as this will contribute to the overall wellbeing of your hamster. You want to avoid extremes of heat, so keep it out of direct sunlight and don't put it next or a radiator or other heat-source. Equally, don't put it somewhere very draughty. If you don't want to keep it in the house you can put it in a frost-free garden shed or garage, but provide more bedding if you do this. Hamsters are very sensitive to light and high-frequency sound. Don't put it in a room that will have lights going on and off at night, and keep it away from things such as televisions, computer screens, sources of running water and vacuum cleaners. These generate ultrasound which can be distressing for hamsters. If you have a wire cage and want to avoid your floor getting too messy from the flying substrate, cut down a cardboard box, which the cage can comfortably sit in (with a few centimetres of clearance around the sides), so that it's sides are not higher than 10cm, and place it in that.

SUMMARY: Research hamster cages. Buy a big cage, as big as possible! Or, use a second-hand cage. Decide where to put the cage.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Leave the heat on medium-high and set a timer for 30 minutes. Check and stir the skillet every 5 minutes to prevent the bottom from burning. If after 30 minutes the mixture is still not a gravy-like consistency, cook it for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. If you're having problems with your mixture thickening, try mixing 1 tablespoon (15mL) of cold water with 1 tablespoon (9 grams) of cornstarch in a small bowl. Then add that to the skillet and mix it until the liquid thickens. If you don't chill the pie interior, the mashed potatoes will sink down to the bottom of the mixture and change the consistency of the dish. So put it in the fridge for at least 3 hours, though if you could leave it overnight that would give the best results. If you're really crammed for time, pop the baking dish into the freezer for 1 hour before moving on with the rest of the recipe.
Summary:
Simmer the mixture for 30 minutes, or until it starts to thicken. Refrigerate the dish for several hours before making the potatoes.
