How to Antique a Mirror : Rooms. 25 Clever Classroom Tips For Elementary School Teachers. How-to | Studiodax's Blog. Like many women, I loooove hoops! I make quite a few, in different shapes and weights, and although some designs can get a bit complex, the basic “one piece of wire” hoop style is quite easy to make. It’s been a while since I posted a new tutorial (sorry!) , so tonight it’s a “how-to” on making hoops! You’ll need the basic jewelry tools (chain nose pliers, cutters, and round nose pliers), as well as some metal smithing tools (steel block, chasing hammer, and a steel ring mandrel). But if you don’t have all of the metal smithing tools items, you can still practice all the basic steps without hammering… How to grasp the wire First, we cut 2 pieces of 20g dead soft round wire, each 3 1/4 inch long, and file/sand the ends flus. TECHNIQUE TIP: The closer the wire is to the tip of the pliers, the smaller the loop.

Rotate the wire - create the loop Now, while holding the pliers firm, rotate the wire around one of the jaws to create a loop. Centering the loop Flatten the loops.... a little bit!

Terrariums are self-contained growing environments that can house plants, small animals or both. They require less care than potted plants and can regulate themselves with very little human intervention. Terrariums are also a good way to add greenery and flowers to small spaces. Orchids (Orchidaceae) and other small plants do well in terrariums and can often be grown more easily in this controlled environment than they can in traditional gardens. Miniature orchids in the Masdevallia, Dracula, Aerangis and Dendrobium genera all do well as terrarium plants, allowing for a wide variety of options.

Any clear glass container can be used to create these self-contained landscapes, so experiment and have fun with whatever jars and containers you find hidden in your cupboards or with some yard sale finds. Choose a glass container for your terrarium. Wash the inside of your container with warm water and mild soap.

Watch the terrarium for condensation. Things You Will Need Tip About the Author.
