Patterned scrapbooking paper is a great choice for this, but you can also use cardstock, construction paper, or even wrapping paper. Another option is to print the templates included at the end of this tutorial. Tissue paper may work with this method, but only if you add the toothpick spokes. You can also use a craft blade if you are careful. Alternatively, you can use scissors with a scalloped edge to cut the circle out. This will give you a fancier edge. If you use scissors with a scalloped edge, you won't have to cut scallops later on. Keep in mind that these scallops won't match up with the creases you'll add later. The slit needs to go from the outer edge of the circle all the way to the middle. Use 1 of the creases as a guide. You should use a regular pair of scissors for this, even if you used a scalloped pair in the previous step.

Q: Wash the piercing with a basic soap with no dyes or extra chemicals (that is not antibacterial soap) once or twice a day. Remove any crust on the piercing with a cotton swab or Q-Tip. Then gently clean the site with the basic soap and water. Avoid tugging on the piercing; this will be painful and slow the healing. The easiest, gentlest way to do this is to half-fill a cup with soapy water, gently place it over the piercing, and lightly swish it around. It may hurt a little if the piercing is fairly new, but the pain will wear off in a few days. Dry the piercing after cleaning with a paper towel or napkin instead of a bath towel or a cloth. Towels can contain germs and bacteria, so it is better to use a disposable paper product instead. These solutions can slow the healing process and kill new, healthy cells.
A: Rinse the area. Make sure the soap suds get in the holes. Dry the piercing properly. Avoid hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol.

Article: Polyester clothes can typically be washed at home in warm water unless otherwise specified on the tag. Next time you are washing your polyester garments, add a capful of your favorite fabric softener to help reduce the build-up of static. The fabric softeners are positively charged, so they will bond with the negative charge found in the polyester clothes, which helps balance and neutralize static buildup. The friction created when garments rub together in a dry environment, like a tumble dryer, can cause electrical charges to cling to the fabric, which creates static electricity. To help minimize static, add a couple of dryer sheets to your tumble dryer. As the sheets heat up, they release and oil that then lightly coats the polyester clothing. This lubrication helps minimize the amount of friction, which reduces static cling. Be sure to dry polyester garments at a low temperature. When added to the dryer, wool dryer balls can help clothes dry more quickly and help reduce static cling by preventing the clothes from sticking together. As they move around, the balls help separate the clothing and expose them to the dry air. This separation also reduces friction, thereby minimizing static. Dryer balls aren't as effective if they are added to a large load of clothes. Make sure you only add them to small and medium loads so they have room to move around. Add three large dryer balls per load. If you don't have a dryer ball, add a tennis ball or two to your tumble dryer to get the same effect. Skip the dryer all together and air dry your polyester clothes to prevent the buildup of static electricity. Allowing polyester clothing to air dry won't damage the garments, so clip the garments on a clothes line to dry in the sun, or drape the clothes over a drying rack indoors.
