Q: Drip 56 drops of food coloring to 1 blender's worth of slurry. After you add the food coloring, stir the slurry with a spoon until the color is evenly spread throughout the mix. If you'd like to make 2 different colors of paper, add drops of different colors of food coloring to separate batches of blended slurry. If you mix more than 2 colors in a single pitcher, you'll end up with an ugly brown. Adding materials and color dye to the slurry is a great way to give your paper an artistic flair! Purchase a package of wildflower or herb seeds and pour half of the packet into your slurry after you've blended it. Or, if you'd rather not use seeds, drop 1 small handful of shredded flower petals, leaves, or green grass into a pitcher of slurry for a decorative effect. Seed paper makes great gifts and is a fun party favor! Do not blend or crush the seeds before adding them. This will destroy the seeds and they'll never grow. If you're adding large flowers or pieces of grass to the slurry, you break them into 14in (0.64cm) bits before dropping them in. You can also create seed paper by pressing the small seeds into a finished sheet of paper just before it dries. If you'd like to end up with sheets of bright, sparkling paper, drop 1 tsp (4 g) of glitter into the slurry after you've blended it. Choose whatever colors you think will look best together and will complement the color of the paper. Avoid adding too much glitter, or it could give you a dry slurry that won't make cohesive paper.
A: Change the hue of your paper with food coloring. Create seed paper by adding a handful of seeds to your slurry. Add a pinch of glitter to the slurry to make your paper sparkle.

Q: You can buy pre-filled first aid kits, and you can also buy empty first aid kit containers. But you almost certainly already have a perfectly good first aid kit container in your home. One good option is a large, translucent, water-resistant, rigid or flexible plastic container with either a zipper closure or a latch-top lid. This makes the materials inside visible for easy identification. For a larger first aid kit with more items inside, a backpack or small duffel bag can suffice Lunchboxes are also another good option. Basically, if it is roomy, easily-accessible, portable, and at least somewhat water resistant, it can make a decent first aid kit container. It should be easy to transport as needed to the emergency, so a handle is ideal. You'll also want to be able to separate items by type within the kit so you can find them easily. Labeled zip-close bags are a good option for a non-rigid container especially. For a lunchbox or other rigid container, look for smaller, clear plastic containers like those available for crafting supplies, or even disposable food storage containers with snap-on lids. Regardless of your container choice, clearly identify it for instance, by writing "FIRST AID" with a permanent marker in multiple locations. When your child is crying about a "boo-boo" on her knee, you don't want your home kit buried on the back of a closet or lost because it's not being returned to the same spot after each use. Establish a clearly-defined, consistent spot for your first aid kit, on a visible / accessible linen closet shelf, for instance, and inform everyone in your home of its location. Let small children know where the kit is located, but place it where they cannot access it. Make sure everyone in your home who is old enough to understand the function of a first aid kit knows its location and when to retrieve it. For younger children who shouldn't yet try to use the items in the kit, teach them where it is located, so they could show a visitor, relative, babysitter, etc. But place the kit in a location where small children can not access it, such as on a high shelf. For older children and adults, instruct them on when to retrieve the kit and how to use the various items in it. Use a first aid instruction booklet, like those available from the American Red Cross, for guidance and place a booklet in the kit for reference. No one wants to fetch a first aid kit and find the bandage box empty or the pain relievers expired. Keep track of supply amounts and expiration dates regularly. You've probably heard that you should check / replace the batteries in your smoke detectors when Daylight Saving Time begins and ends in the Spring and Fall. This would also be a good opportunity to check the status of your first aid kit and restock it as needed. Drawing from the suggestions made in Part 2 of this article, stock your first aid kit and record every item on a sheet of paper you can keep it in the kit. Record amounts (10 small bandages, for example) and expiration dates (for medications or ointments) next to the listed items on the checklist you include in your kit. You want anyone who retrieves the kit to immediately know what it includes and does not include, and that items are ready-to-use.
A: Pick a good container. Make your kit safely accessible. Teach your family about the kit. Keep your kit up-to-date. Create a checklist to include with the kit.

Q: Choose a long, heavy overcoat for cold weather and bundle up. The primary purpose of an overcoat is to act as a warm outer layer. For this end, materials like wool, cashmere, and fleece will work best. Look for thick fabrics, strong seams and additional features like belts, buttons and high collars you can use to envelope yourself when it gets brisk. Overcoats pair well with hats, gloves, scarves and other formal cold weather gear. Nicer types like Chesterfields and Polos are ideal for wearing over a suit, which can be difficult to layer effectively in the winter. Another function of overcoats is to create a barrier between you and the outside world. They provide enough coverage to cut down on wind chill, are sturdy enough to protect you from moisture and everyday contact, and act as a membrane to keep your formal items from getting dirty. An overcoat can lend you peace of mind knowing that you and your clothing will remain protected and pristine beneath it. If you think your lifestyle might be rough on an overcoat, try out materials like cotton twill, waxed canvas or even leather. These tough fabrics are resistant to wear and tear and are generally easy to clean. Safeguard leather overcoats with a protective coating of oil to make them water-resistant. Go for an overcoat over a fleece jacket or windbreaker the next time you need to make a good impression. Overcoats are one kind of formal garment that never goes out of style. You'll look much more suave wearing a well-fitted, sensible overcoat than you would in plain outerwear, or caught unprepared for chilly weather in only a suit. Black, charcoal gray and navy blue should be your go-to color choices for formal dress. An overcoat can and should be worn in place of inappropriately casual jackets whenever possible. While overcoats have become a less prevalent fashion choice in contemporary times, they are still regarded as the peak of men's business and formal style. You'll stand out from the crowd and be taken seriously as a man of refinement once you add a nice overcoat to your coat rack. It's a good way to inject some classic style into your wardrobe, and you're sure to turn heads when you walk past a crowd of people all wearing the same thing. Go for modern styles and materials and an accentuated fit. Overcoats are marked by a somewhat vintage aesthetic and can look like a novelty if they're not chosen carefully.
A:
Add an extra layer for the cold. Protect yourself from the elements. Achieve a more formal look. Stand out.
