You will not feed all of them to your dog, so they can be foods you like too. Make a show of enjoying this food, so that you've really gotten your dog's attention.The key is to make your dog desire what you're eating. This is not medicine, but a way to get your dog to expect good-old, no-medicine food. It will let his guard down. Your dog will take for granted that it wants to eat whatever falls. Other times, quickly grab the food from the dog. In this way you establish a sense that your dog must act quickly in order to snatch the food. This will encourage your dog to try to eat what you drop, without thinking. This can be hidden in food, or just by itself. Try to quickly grab it from the dog, in an attempt to trick your dog into eating it. If your dog already expects it might lose the opportunity, you may not even have to try that hard. This process works best when there are no other dogs around. There is a risk that another dog might try to take the pill this way, and so it is important to isolate the dog you want to medicate. However, keeping another dog in view, but behind a gate, in a crate, or outside, can increase the medicated dog's excitement.

If you really want to distract the honoree, ask them to get together with you to plan someone else's surprise party. This works great if you don't have a lot of time to distract the person from the party. You could invite the honoree to the venue and have them meet you in a room that isn't decorated. When you're ready to surprise them, lead them into the party room. For example, if the party is at your house, decorate the main rooms and ask the honoree to meet you near the back of your house. When you're ready, you can lead them into the party room. If you're the chaperone and you're out having fun with the honoree, you'll need to get them to the surprise birthday party at some point. You can tell them that you accidentally "forgot" something important at the house and need to go back to get it. This tactic will only work if the party is at your house or the honoree's house. If the party is at a venue (such as a restaurant or park), meet up with the honoree. After spending a little time with the honoree, ask them if they wouldn't mind running a short errand somewhere. Take the honoree to the surprise party venue. For example, you could be out for coffee together. After a little while, say, "A few days ago I left my jacket at the restaurant down the street. Do you mind if we swing by and I can grab it?" If you're the chaperone, text the host of the party 10 minutes before you bring the honoree to the party. If you don't think you can do this secretly, tell the host to have a guest posted near the entrance so they can alert the other guests that the honoree is arriving. Advance notice is especially important if you'll be dropping balloons, throwing confetti, or exploding glitter. You don't want to waste the surprise on just another guest instead of the honoree.

If you are working with very hard clay, you may need to use a food processor to really break down the clay and warm it up. Before you put the clay pieces into the food processor, first use a sharp knife or cleaver to chop the clay into the smallest pieces that you can. Once you have chopped the clay as much as you can, take the chopped pieces and put them in a food processor. If you wish, add a few drops of diluent or liquid polymer clay to the food processor as well to further help soften the clay. Then place the lid on the food processor. You can also use a coffee grinder, but you may have to grind in several batches. Try to get a separate bowl and blade for mixing clay because unless you clean them extremely thoroughly it is not advisable to use the same ones for food and clay. Use the highest setting on your food processor to grind the clay. Grinding the clay will separate it into smaller pieces and soften it, making the clay easier to work with. Grind for one to three minutes, until the clay is soft. After the clay is soft, take it out of the food processor. You may need to use a spoon to scrape the sides and get the clay out of the nooks and crannies of the food processor. Once you get all the clay out, press the pieces together to combine them. After you have chopped the clay in the food processor, it should be soft and pliable. Knead the clay in your hands to completely blend the pieces together. It should now be soft and ready for use!
