This is an alternative method you can use to make a simple paper ring. It doesn't take long, and it doesn't require a lot of folding! Wrap the strip of paper around the small plastic top of a bottle, say from hair spray (about the size of your finger). You will fasten this onto the rest of the paper strip as you wrap it around and around the plastic bottle top. Wrap it around until you reach the other end. Glue that end down onto the piece of paper. If you want to weave other colors into the ring for a fancier version, take a second strip of paper in another color. Put glue on the end of it. Fasten the end to the ring in a vertical direction. To do this, weave it in and out of the ring. Weave it much as you would by creating a braid. When you reach the end, glue it to the ring. It's ready to wear! This can be a fun way to give someone a gift in cash or to leave a tip for someone! Maybe the tooth fairy could give a child such a ring. Start with the bill facing with the back side up. This should be folded back to the place where it meets the green part of the bill. Fold the bottom edge of the bill until it meets the top. Tuck it under the little flap you created by folding over the white edge. Now turn the bill over so the side that says "The United States of America" is along the top. It should be folded to the left of the "1" or other dollar amount to the point where it meets the bill's green part. Fold the bill back on the right of the "1." The "1" should appear to be in a square box. Fold the right hand part of the bill so that the left edge goes right between the O and the F of the word "OF" in the "United States of America." Curve the bill around. Keep going until the "1 square" is lined up on top of the vertical bit that is poking up underneath. Open up the "1 square" to the right, and then fold down the vertical bit. Finally, fold back the "1 square" back on top. You should tuck the flap under the vertical bit you just folded down. Turn the ring over. Fold the poking up bit down and through the center of the ring. Turn the ring over again. Fold down the little flap. Tuck it under the "1 square." Using your fingernails or a pencil might help with this part. Finally fold over the edge of the ring band so it's narrower.

summary: Take a long strip of paper. Use glue to fasten the end of one narrow strip. Remove the ring from the plastic bottle top. Wrap the second piece of paper around the ring. You're done! Make a dollar bill ring. Fold back the top white edge of the bill . Turn the bill over. Fold it in half again, but don't tuck it under the flap this time. Fold back the white edge. Bend the rest of the bill. Tuck the little flap. You're done!

Enunciation is very important for communication. When speaking, pace yourself. Pronounce every syllable. Do not slur or mumble your speech. Speaking too quickly will muddle your words, and it may cause the other person to misunderstand you. Use an appropriate volume. You do not want to yell while you speak, nor should you be so soft-spoken that the other person cannot hear you. As you speak, try to match the volume of the other person. Carefully consider the impact of your words before you say them. Understand whether or not someone might misunderstand you, or if they might take offense. Word your statements carefully so that your meaning is not mistaken. Avoid talking about politics and religion. These touchy subjects can cause disagreements between family and friends. Try to stop saying "Um," and "Like," or other filler words and avoid using slang. Expand your vocabulary (try flashcards, reading the dictionary for fun or a word of the day email) so that you can better express yourself. If someone else is speaking, wait until they are finished with their idea before you respond. Do not interrupt or speak over others. There are certain things you can do to let the other person know that you are engaged in the conversation: Nod your head as they speak. Make eye contact. Occasionally repeat back what they said. Cursing can be offensive and rude. While you may feel the need to replace curse words with more polite phrases, it is better to keep your anger to yourself if you are upset or startled. If you are having trouble with swearing, try keeping a swear jar where you put a dollar every time you curse. You should either donate this money or save it for an essential purchase.

summary: Pronounce your words clearly and slowly. Think before you speak. Work on becoming articulate and well-spoken. Listen actively. Avoid cursing.

Combine the leaves from your small bunch of mint with your equal parts of water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat on medium, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. This could take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Let the syrup sit in your refrigerator for about an hour, or until it feels cool. If you want to cool the syrup down faster, place it in the freezer for 20 minutes. Before chilling the syrup, make sure that you transfer it into a heatproof bowl. If you use a plastic bowl, the heat from the syrup could cause the plastic to start melting. Once the syrup feels cool, pour it through a strainer or small colander. Collect the syrup in a bowl beneath the strainer and filter out the leaves. You only need 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of this syrup for your shamrock shake. The rest can be saved in a sealed container for another dish, though. Discard the mint leaves you strained out. Add the ingredients to an electric blender and whip together on a high speed for 15 to 30 seconds, or until thoroughly combined. Taste the shake before serving it. If the mint flavor is not strong enough, you can add more mint syrup or more mint extract. If the alcohol taste is not strong enough, you can add a bit more whiskey. Be aware, though, that adding more liquid will cause your shake to thin out. Pour the shamrock shake into one or two serving glasses. Decorate each one with a generous helping of whipped cream topping and a bright red maraschino cherry.
summary: Heat the mint leaves and sugar in water. Chill the mint syrup. Strain out the mint leaves. Combine 2 Tbsp (30 ml) mint syrup with the ice cream, milk, whiskey, mint extract, and food coloring. Garnish with whipped cream and a cherry, if desired.
