Turn the glue gun on to loosen the glue, then, if the glue is persistent, use a wooden stick to CAREFULLY pick the glue off.

What is corn dolly made out of?

Corn Dolly!

Well, I can make a yarn dolly. They should be pretty similar. First, you take a long stalk of corn, and wind it around a piece of cardboard an inch in width as many times as it will allow. Remove the cardboard. Next, tie another piece of straw in the place you want the neck to be and one about a centimeter from the top of the head. Cut the fold of straw at the top and bottom of the dolly. Take 3 strands of straw below the neck. Make a tight braid for each. It should now look like a doll with a head, two arms, and a ghost-like body. Tie a piece of straw where you want the legs to begin. Braid all remaining straw into two legs below the new tie. Tada! You should now have a straw dolly!

How do you make a ball out of paper mache?

Probably the best way to make a paper mache ball is to first plan what size of ball you wish and what kind of frame you will use to shape it. Many like to use balloons which can be popped after the paper mache has dried, leaving a shell. Balloons however are rarely perfectly round and so others use wire frames, styrofoam, old sports balls - basically anything round that won't be missed!

The best way to get some ideas is to go to "Goggle Image Search" and type "Paper mache ball" and a plethora of ornaments and works will reveal themselves to you. Some links below are some variations worth perusing.

How do you build a colonial house for a school project?

It depends on what you want to build it with. I would recommend Popsicle sticks. You just glue them together until you make a square, and then for the roof you can build a stair case sort of triangle. You could add a little chimney if you wanted to. Don't forget doors or windows!(seperate answer) Linkin Logs are Fun, And they come with doors and windows.

How do you make a school bus with waste materials?

It takes careful planning to create a mode of transport by using waste materials. The routes and vehicles used to go short and long distances have to be the quickest and least invasive, especially when passing by residential areas. Many places are actively trying to figure out easier waste disposal methods or reusable methods to cut down on the amount of waste transportation.

Can you dye nylon?

Objects made of solid nylon can be dyed with acid dyes = How to dye nylon or polyamide = Nylon, a synthetic fiber also sometimes labeled as polyamide, can be dyed with either of two completely different dye classes, acid dyes and disperse dyes. Both of these types of dye require the application of heat to fix the dye to the nylon, so be sure the item you are dyeing can withstand the heat called for in the recipe you choose. (This is a problem for nylon/Lycra blends, as the spandex fiber is heat-sensitive, made from polyurethane fiber. Use acid dyes on these blends, and carefully avoid stressing the fabric while it is hot, such as by twisting or stretching; temperatures above that indicated on the garment's care label (usually 105°F) may deform the shape of the garment.) Some surface fabric treatments may prevent nylon from 'taking' dye. Dye only fabrics that are free of treatments that provide stain resistance or water repellence, such as Teflon coating. Nylon is not only used as a textile fiber. It is also used to make solid objects such as frisbee discs and lacrosse stick heads. Solid nylon can be dyed with the same types of dye as nylon fabric.

Nylon is a synthetic fiber, but its unique chemistry means that it can be dyed, easily and well, using the same acid dyes that are commonly used on wool and other animal fibers. A typical recipe calls for dissolving dye and salt in enough water to cover the material and allow it to move freely in the pot, adding the material, heat it to a simmer for ten minutes, add vinegar and simmer another ten minutes, then allow to cool gradually and rinse out. Microwaving or steaming might be used as an alternative form of heat application, if the dye is painted onto vinegar-water-soaked material, as in the case of tie-dyeing nylon. See Dyes for Protein Fibers, under the About Dyes section of this web site, for the rest of the story. Do not expect a color mixed from two or more dyes to produce the same hue on nylon that it does on silk or wool. If you call your dye suppliers, they should be able to recommend specific acid dyes that they sell that work particularly well on nylon, and tell you whether they discharge well or poorly. In general, any acid dye should work reasonably well on nylon, given acid and heat. A recipe for tie-dyeing with one type of acid dye is given on the page Tie Dye with Kool-Aid. This recipe may be adapted for use with other acid dyes. See also PRO Chemical & Dye's instructions for direct application of acid dyes on wool and silk, which should work quite well with nylon, and their instructions for immersion dyeing nylon. Most fiber reactive dyes, such as those commonly used to dye cotton and rayon, cannot react with nylon. However, fiber reactive dyes can, as a rule, be treated exactly like acid dyes, with the addition of small amounts of acid (such as vinegar) and with the necessary application of heat. When used with an acid dye recipe, a fiber reactive dye actually acts as an acid dye. In my experience with Procion MX dyes, nylon typically dyes to a paler shade than silk dyed under the same circumstances, but sometimes more intense than that achieved by wool. See Fiber reactive dyes on protein fibers. Although wool will dye with Procion MX dyes at basic (high) pHs, nylon will not; nylon will either take a pale and temporary stain, or remain completely white, when dyed with Procion MX dyes and soda ash. Most all purpose dyes, such as Rit dye and Dylon's Multipurpose dye, contains two kinds of dye, mixed together - 'direct' dye which does a fair job of dyeing cotton, and 'leveling acid' dye which will dye both wool and nylon. It is best to use pure acid dyes on nylon, instead, as you can see more clearly what color you will end up with, and you avoid wasting money on the direct dye portion that cannot stick to nylon, and you can choose to use acid dyes about which more detailed information is available. However, if you are in a hurry and do not wish to wait for mail-order, all purpose dye is readily available in many grocery stores and pharmacies. Many natural dyes are acid dyes, which work well on nylon if heated in a dyebath with an acid, such as vinegar or citric acid. Cochineal dyes nylon a good intense red with a slightly brownish tone, whether mordanted with alum or not. Turmeric, a natural direct dye which tends to fade in the light, dyes nylon a nice medium golden yellow, with or without alum pre-mordanting. However, indigo is said to perform poorly on all synthetic fibers, including nylon, because the fibers lack the internal spaces found in natural fibers, into which the soluble form of the dye may penetrate and then become trapped upon oxidation. The dye in nylon must not be discharged with hypochlorite (ordinary household chlorine bleach), because the fiber itself, like wool or silk, will be severely damaged. A good choice for discharging nylon is the chemical sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate; see ProChem's instructions for dicharging with Formusol. Nylon can also be dyed with the same disperse dye that is used for polyester. Surely no one uses disperse dye for immersion dyeing when they could use acid dye, instead - PRO Chemical says that acid dyes are more washfast on nylon than disperse dyes are, and they are also more plentiful and versatile - but alternative forms of dyeing with disperse dye, including ironing-on pictures prepared on paper with special disperse dye rubber stamp pad ink, paints, and crayons are a lot of fun and well worth trying, even with young children.

How do you make a Black Cat pinata?

well you blow up two big balloons and paper mashae them. make sure you leave a hole at the top of them. once you've done that and the paper mashae is dry you can pop the balloons and put the lollies in the hole that you left at the top. once you've done that you paper mashae the holes and you can paint the ball shapes. then you can paper mashae two stalks that connest together at the top and if you want to add leaves you can.instead of painting it you might want to put coloured tissue paper on it instead.

hope this helped :)

How do you start box gimp?

First you get 2 pieces of gimp at about 24 inches long. Next you fold each piece in half and it will make a crease ( try folding it a couple of times for it to show up.) Then you get a piece that is your left color (and mine is red) so you fold it over the blue string. After that you go over one and under. Keep repeating it and switch your strings so you don't make a not in your cube. Have fun and teach your friends and convince them to get gimp!
