What you Need

- 1 tube of silicone sealant (found at hardware stores)

- 1 oral syringe

- 1-2 drops of food colouring

- 1 square of waxed paper

- 1 sticky note

- 1 tooth pick

- 1 pencil

- 1 piece of tape

How to Make it

1. Draw the desired design on the stcky note

2. Take the waxed paper and put it on the sticky makeing the design face up

3. Take the food colouring and put some in the oral syringe

4. Then fill the syringe 1/3 with silicone

5. Take the syringe and trace the design care fully

6. Leave the band to dry for about 3 hours

7. Peel off and enjoy

Okay, here is an other workable method:

Some things you will need:

1. Some very thin PVC water pipe about 2" diameter, the thinner the better and about a foot long

2. An adult helper

3. A rubber squeegee, preferrably an inexpensive one.

4. Mineral oil

5. A tube of 100% silicone caulk

6. Your favorite color dyes

7. A utility knife

8. A kitchen stove and a pot of water that will hold the section of pipe

1. Boil the water on the stove and place the PVC pipe into it, wearing gloves, until the pipe begins to soften. When it does, squish it into the funnest shape you can come up with, so that the profile is the same the whole length of the pipe. A heart shape will probably be the easiest. Re-boil as necessary. Now, let it cool.

2. Rub mineral oil all over the outside of the pipe, in the thinnest coating possible. Repeatedly rub dry rags over it to remove as much as possible.

3. Using the utility knife, and a metal straight-edge as a guide, cut a notch out of the squeegee as even as you possibly can, about one sixteenth of an inch wide, running the length of the face of the squeegee, and stopping about an inch from each edge. You want a very thin, long notch that is not wider than the PVC pipe is long! Use die to make it colourful

Tie Die Bandz

1 Cut open the tube of silicone, and squeeze it all out into a disposable colors if you like to achieve a cool "tie-dye" look that is not available in store bought

ones.

2. Put on rubber gloves! Put down newspaper! Get ventilation! Now mix the dye into the silicone with your hands, and smear it onto the pipe. Use the notched squeegee to even the layer out into a thick sleeve going around the

pipe.

3. Let it cure. It will smell funny, but that is mostly just acetic acid (vinegar).

4. Once it is cured, use the utility knife to cut the bandz off of the sleeve wrapped around the pipe. Try for evenness, unless you want them wavy.

Slide them off the end of the pipe once you cut them, and set them aside.

9. Now smugly show them to your friends and tell them that you made them!

14K means 14 karats

Karats is the measure of purity for gold; 1 karat is about 1/24 purity by mass.

Therefore 14 karats is about 58% gold, the remainder probably being silver.

They use silver as a filler because pure gold is too soft to make good jewelry on it's own.

To get to the direct question, just because it has 14k Italy on it doesn't mean it's real. The stamps can be forged, if your not sure if it's real, take it in to your local jewlery store. Most jewlery stores will test it for you for free and then you'll know for sure. I must say this also, people if you are going to sell your jewlery, stop taking it to pawn shops. If you do just want a loan and then get it back, by all means take it to a pawn shop. But if you are going to sell it and never see it again, sell it to a jewlery store, it's been my practice for years. I've gotten more money selling the jewlery to a jewlery store then I ever did from a pawn shop. Case in point, the very first ring I ever sold, I took it to a couple of pawn shops. The most they would give me was $50.00. I knew it was worth more than that, I didn't even have to shop around. The first jewlery store I walked into paid me $174.00 for the ring. Not that pawn shops are bad, because their not, you can get some really good deals there, just not for selling jewelry.

If you're speakign of the ear plugs (gauged earrings), then most types of non-pressure treated woods will do fine. Preassure treated wood (the most common pine woods at lumber stores) are treated to resis rot and bugs with arsenic. Arsenic is a poison and shouldn't be trusted so close to your skin.

Non- treated woods are fine. Domestic and exotic, soft and hard woods should be safe for use. Some things to take note of:

• Anyone can have allergies to anything, including woods. Test a small area or talk to your doctor about potential issues.
• Some exotic woods have urushiol- the irritant in poison ivy/oak/sumac. Talk to suppliers befor using these woods.
• If you are making your own, use only dried woods- those right off the tree will shrink or crack as the moisture escapes over time. Most woods purchased in stores are already prepared and good to use.

If you are not wearing them in constant contact with your skin, there should be little worry about the pressure treated woods.
