To make it easier to carry your crocheted cell phone case, you may want to make a handle. However, keep in mind that this is optional. You can make a short length handle to carry your cell phone like a clutch, or you can add a long chain handle to carry your cell phone like a purse. Tie a piece of yarn to the case where you want one end of the handle to begin. Then, begin to crochet a chain. Make the chain as long as you want it to be. When your handle is the desired length, cut the free end a few inches away from the hook. Then, pull the end through your last loop to secure the end of the chain. Then, tie this end to the case where you want the other end to be. This will complete a simple chain handle. If desired, you can single crochet along the chain one or more times to make a thicker handle.

Summary: Decide what type of handle you want to add. Make a chain long enough for your handle. Tie off the chain at the end.

Decide the files that you want to move to a new location. Choose where that new location will be. If you are using a Mac computer, open two Finder windows to access the files and the new location where you want to put them. If you are using a Windows computer, open the windows through the Start menu. If your files are located on the desktop, you should only open a window for the location where you want to move the files. If you are using a Mac, after you open the first window, go to the File menu at the top and select the option to open a new Finder window. If you are using Windows, you can simply minimize the first window and access the Start menu again to find the second window. If your files are on the desktop, arrange your window next to the files on the desktop. Move your cursor so it is to the top left of all the files you want to move. Left click the mouse and drag the cursor over the files until you reach the bottom right corner. Your files should be highlighted in blue to show they are selected and ready to drag. The files should stay highlighted. They will transfer and make a zipping noise as they are moved and saved. If your files stop being highlighted at any time, you will need to repeat the drag and drop. If you repeat this process but drag the files to a different drive, such as a removable hard drive, CD or zip drive, the files will not move, they will be copied.

Summary: Turn on your computer. Open folders on your computer. Use your mouse to resize the folder windows so that they can be side by side on your computer screen. Navigate to the folder where the files are. Release your mouse. Left click on a file and hold the button down. Drag the files into the new folder.

Find stamp tongs online or at a hobby store, and use them instead of your fingers, to avoid causing damage from oils or moisture. These are often called tweezers because they so resemble them, but are weaker and smoother to avoid damaging the stamp. Thin, rounded tips make it easy to slide underneath a stamp, while sharp points should be avoided due to the possibility of tears. Used stamps are typically removed from the envelope before storing. If you like collecting the cancellation marks, or the post office ink mark over the stamp, cut out a rectangle of paper around the mark and skip ahead to the storage step in this section. Otherwise, cut a small square around the stamp itself. You don't have to be precise, since the steps below will remove the remaining scrap of paper. Because the cancellation mark takes up a lot of space in your collection, most collectors only save the most interesting ones. This traditional method works on U.S. stamps from before 2004, and most stamps from other countries. Put the paper-backed stamps in a bowl of lukewarm water, with the stamp face up. Use enough room for each one to float to the surface. After 1520 minutes, once the stamps have begun to separate from the paper, use your stamp tongs to transfer the stamps to a dry paper towel. Handling the wet stamp very gently, scrape off the remaining paper. If the paper does not come off, let the stamp soak longer. Do not try to peel off the stamp. Stamps on brightly colored paper or with purple ink marks should be soaked in separate bowls, since the ink on the paper might bleed and dye the stamps. Once the paper is removed, rinse the back of the stamp in fresh water to remove the last of the gummy residue. Let the stamps dry overnight on a paper towel. If the stamps curl, you can place them between paper towels and sandwich them in between heavy books. Self-adhesive stamps, including all U.S. stamps since 2004, cannot be removed from paper using the traditional warm water method. Instead, find a non-aerosol, 100% natural, citrus-based air freshener, such as Pure Citrus or ZEP. Spray a small amount onto the paper attached to stamps, so the paper is soaked and translucent. Turn the stamp face up, roll the paper corner slightly, and slowly peel off the stamp. To remove the sticky back, dip your finger in talcum powder and wipe the back of stamp lightly.

Summary: Handle stamps with stamp tongs. Cut off most of the envelope. Soak most stamps in lukewarm water. Rinse and dry the stamps. Remove self-adhesive stamps with air freshener.

If you find a bunch of maggots in one part of your house, collect them with a broom and dustbin. Put them in a sealed garbage bag. Freeze them in the bag for at least sixty minutes. Then, put them in the outdoor trash can. Freezing is the most humane way to kill maggots. Use a broom to wipe the boric acid into the carpet fibers. A natural insecticide, boric acid should kill the maggots. You can purchase boric acid at hardware stores, large department stores or online. Thoroughly vacuum every nook and cranny of your carpeting. Pull out the vacuum bag and seal it in an airtight plastic bag or container. Freeze it to kill the maggots. Then, immediately put it in the outside trash container. Freezing is the most humane way to kill maggots. Purchase or rent a carpet steam cleaner from your local hardware or drugstore. Renting is usually relatively cheap and is an invaluable tool for getting rid of maggots. Make sure that the insecticide you choose is safe for your carpets and non-toxic to humans and animals. Following the directions on the label, mix the insecticide solution with hot water. Then, add it to your steam cleaner reservoir. You can even use pet shampoo that contains an insecticide. You can use permethrin to remove indoor maggot infestations. Run the steam cleaner over all of the carpeted areas of your house at least twice to draw out the maggots and exterminate them. Dispose of the used water outdoors in a sealed container if possible.
Summary: Collect the maggots and freeze them. Sprinkle boric acid over the carpet. Vacuum your carpet. Get a steam cleaner. Purchase an insecticide solution for steam cleaning. Steam clean your carpet.
