INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Chill the bottle of soju in the refrigerator for a few hours if you are drinking at home. Don't add ice to the drink because it is typically served as a small pour and taken as a shot. You won't need to worry about this if you are ordering drinks in a restaurantit will be served ice-cold and ready to drink! Hold the soju near the bottom of the bottle in one hand and vigorously swirl it in a circular motion. It should only take about 2-3 seconds of swirling to create a whirlpool effect inside the bottle. This act is said to date back to the old days when sediment was deposited into the bottles during production. Swirling the bottle is meant to bring the sediment to the top of the bottle. Some drinkers opt to shake the bottle instead of swirling. Holding the bottle towards the bottom of the neck in one hand, use your other hand to firmly slap the end of the bottle. After a couple of firm slaps, twist off the cap. You may also bang the bottom of the bottle against your elbow instead of slapping it with your palm. Some say the purpose of this part also has to do with breaking up the sediment in the bottle. Grip the lower portion of the bottle with one hand to hold it steady, and use the webbed area between your middle finger and index finger on your other hand to sharply jab the neck of the bottle. This should be done with enough force to make a little bit of the soju splash out of the bottle. This portion of the bottle-opening ritual is meant to knock the sediment that was deposited during production out of the bottle so it doesn't get drank. Modern production of soju filters the alcohol, so sediment is no longer an issue. However, the tradition has remained.

SUMMARY: Serve the soju cold and neat for the best flavor. Swirl the bottle around to create a whirlpool inside. Slap the bottom of the bottle with your palm before twisting off the cap. Spread your middle and index finger apart and jab the neck of the bottle.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your hair needs to be as clean as possible when you apply the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda so that they soak into your hair. Use your normal shampoo and conditioner to cleanse away dirt and oils. After you wash it, don't apply any additional products, such as a leave-in conditioner or styling cream. You don't want to have any product or oils on your hair, as this can prevent the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda from penetrating your hair. When you apply the hydrogen peroxide-baking soda paste, your hair will absorb the lightener better if it's damp but not wet. In most cases, you should let your hair air dry for about 30 minutes. However, you may not need to wait as long if you have fine hair, and thick hair may take a little longer. Don't use a hair dryer to speed up the process because heat is damaging to your hair. It's best to give your hair a break since you're about to do a lightening treatment, which can also be damaging. Since hydrogen peroxide can bleach fabrics, it's best to use old clothing and towels to protect your skin. Choose items that you don't mind ruining, just in case they get stained. As another option, you could cover your skin with a hairdresser's cape or even a garbage bag that has a head and arm holes cut out of it. Cover your work surfaces with newspapers, old towels, or garbage bags to protect them from the paste. Although your hydrogen peroxide-baking soda paste won't stain like hair dye, it could discolor some surfaces. Divide your hair down the middle to create 2 sections. Then, divide your hair from ear to ear to create a total of 4 sections. Secure each section with a hair clip until you're ready to bleach it. If you have very thick hair, you may want to create additional sections. For instance, 6-8 sections may make it easier to ensure that the paste goes on evenly. If you only want to create highlights on the top layer of your hair, then you may not need to section it.

SUMMARY: Wash your hair just before you bleach it. Let your hair air dry until it is just damp. Wear an old t-shirt and drape an old towel across your shoulders. Clip your hair into 4 even sections.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can also get some fiberfill to fill your pillow with instead. This project takes a little bit more time than the knotting version, but the results are well-worth it, because you don't get those bulky knots. For a more interesting pillow, consider getting a solid color and a matching pattern. For a simpler pillow, consider getting two different solid colors instead. Depending on the size of your pillow, you will need about 1 yard (0.92 meters) of each type of fleece. This is very important because you won't be turning the pillow inside-out at the end. It probably won't make too much of a different if you are using only solid colors, but it may make a different if you are using patterned fleece; sometimes, the pattern may only be on one side. Use a ruler and a pair of fabric scissors (or a rotary cutter) to ensure that your lines are straight. Also, try to cut though both layers at the same time. This will ensure that both pieces of fleece match up. If you need to, draw the squares first using a ruler and a piece of chalk. Be sure to cut through both layers of fleece so that everything matches up. If you need to, draw the lines using a piece of chalk and a ruler first. Make sure that you cut through both pieces of fleece. This way, you can be certain that the tassels will match up. The slit needs to be centered, and it needs to be at the base of the tassel, where the fringe joins the pillow. Starting at the bottom left corner, take the top and bottom tassels. Keeping them together, push them through the 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) slit, and give them a gentle tug. If you are going to use fiberfill to stuff your pillow with, complete most of the fourth side, leaving only four tassels undone. Simply tuck your pillow form into the fleece, or stuff it with fiberfill, then weave the opening shut. If you see any chalk on your tassels from before, gently brush it off.

SUMMARY:
Get a pillow form. Get some fleece. Stack the two pieces of fleece with the right sides facing out and the wrong sides facing in. Cut the fleece so that it is 8 inches (20.32 centimeters) longer and 8 inches (20.32 centimeters) wider than your pillow. Cut a 4-inch (10.16-centimeter) square out of each corner. Cut 1-inch (3.81-centimeter) wide, 4-inch (10.16-centimeter) deep slits into all four sides of your fleece. Cut a 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) long vertical slit into each tassel. Take your first two tassels, and push them through the slit. Keep weaving the tassels until you have completed three sides. Stuff your pillow, then finish weaving the fourth side.
