For this simple hair bow, all you need is a length of ribbon, a threaded needle, a hot glue gun and a hair barrette. If you're just making the hair bow for fun, you don't need to worry too much about the length of the ribbon. However, if you need a hair bow of a specific size, you should cut a length of ribbon that's double the length of the desired bow, plus one inch. For example, if you want a two-inch hair bow you would measure out four inches, plus an extra inch (to allow for overlap). Fold the length of ribbon over to make a circular loop, so that the two ends overlap by about half an inch. Make sure the right side of the ribbon is facing out (especially if the ribbon is patterned). Press down on the center of the ribbon to flatten the loop. Take your needle and thread and run your needle through the center of the folded ribbon, from the back to the front. Fold the center of the bow, accordion style. Then wrap the thread around the center several times to secure. Knot the thread, then cut the rest. Take a second piece of ribbon and tie a basic knot. Position the knot over the center of the bow, then secure the ends of the ribbon at the back using some hot glue or a small stitch. Place a little hot glue on top of the barrette, then firmly attach the bow. Leave to dry for an hour before using. If you like, you can add some extra embellishments to the bow by hot gluing some sequins on or using some fabric glitter. You can also layer the bow by making a second bow with a contrasting colored ribbon. Place one bow on top of the other, then add the center knot (which wraps around both bows) before gluing to the barrette.

If your parents are usually a bit wary of you roaming around on your own and it's not something you usually get to do, a cruise is a perfect time for some independent exploring. Your parent knows you'll be safe on board, and so do you. Unless you enter an out of bounds area, there will usually be a member of staff to ask for directions if you get lost. Roam around the ship, see what the other decks of accommodation are like. Use the stairs cases instead of the lifts. Go out on the deck and look for other ships or wildlife such as dolphins or sea birds. Say hi to the staff you see working, many people overlook the staff that works hard to give you a fun holiday.

Use a sharpie to make wood grain lines on several paper towel rolls or toilet tissue rolls. You may want to cut longer rolls in half so that your logs are similarly-sized. If you have time, as an extra touch, try lightly soaking the paper towel rolls in water, crushing them in your hand, and allowing them to dry before drawing wood grain lines on them. This will give them a wrinkled, realistic appearance, mirroring real logs. As an added decoration, you may want to add grey coals or rocks in and around your campfire. Doing this is easy - all you need to do is paint styrofoam packing peanuts grey (spray paint is cheap, easy, and works well). For bigger rocks, cut or break chunks from styrofoam packing material. Putting a small, well-concealed flashlight behind your fire is a great way to give it a flaming glow. Prop a small, medium-intensity flashlight so that it shines up into the base of the flames. Done correctly, this will make the flames at the base of the fire brightest, giving the impression that the fire is glowing with intensity. You may find that conventional bulbs give a better effect than LED bulbs. LED bulbs usually give off a "white" light and can be quite bright, while conventional bulbs can have a warmer, slightly dimmer, more natural "yellow" glow. If you have space, a small, gentle fan can give your flames a constant rustling motion, mimicking the effect of real flames. If you can, have the fan blow up directly behind the fire; otherwise, set the fan at its lowest setting a few feet behind the fire. The flames shouldn't drastically bend or sway - you're looking for a gentle, subtle effect that's not too distracting.

Use a wire brush to scrub the grill grate, removing any traces of burnt on food from previous grilling sessions. Even if you cleaned your grill after using it, it is still a wise idea to clean it again, especially if it has not been used for a while. Scrubbing the grill grate also helps to remove other debris that could have gathered on it in between uses. Pour a small amount of canola oil onto a clean paper towel and rub the paper towel over the grate. The oil creates a non-stick coating that will limit the amount of steak getting stuck to the grill as it cooks. In the absence of oil, you could also use aluminum foil. Cover the grill grate in aluminum and poke holes throughout the foil with the tines of a grilling fork. You must poke the holes in the foil so that enough heat can travel through. You should begin 20 minutes before cooking, and you need to prepare two areas of high heat and one cooler area. Set the grill grate aside temporarily. Use a chimney starter to ignite a moderate pile of charcoal briquettes. Let them burn until they are covered in white ash. Dump the hot coals into the bottom of the grill. Use tongs with a long handle to carefully spread the coals. You should have two or three layers in one-third of the fire bed, and one or two layers in another third. The remaining third should have no coals. Return the grill grate to the grill As with the charcoal grill, begin 20 minutes before you plan on cooking. Turn all heat elements on as high as they will go. The grill must be very hot before you can add the steak. To check a charcoal grill, hold your hand roughly 4 inches (10 cm) above the tallest flames. You should only be able to count to 1 before needing to pull your hand away. If you can tolerate the heat longer, the grill is not hot enough yet. For a gas grill, the temperature gauge needs to reach 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius) before it is ready.
