This do it yourself centerpiece is brought to you by A-Bnc parties and more. This starts of by making the bow, shown by painting a dowel and letting it dry. Then glue the 'frogs' at the ends of the dowel and glue fishing line to both frogs and trim to fit. Next take a polystyrene cut out of a violin and seal it. This helps paint stick to the surface of the cut out. The violin is painted brown to replicate an actual violin. Using black paint you detail the 'f' holes and allow to dry before pro...

Bottleneck slide guitar is based on an early one string folk instrument called the Diddley-Bow, and the traditional playing style of Hawaiian Guitar. The early Blues Masters of the 1920s and 30s, would place a bottleneck from a wine bottle, or a short piece of metal pipe on their finger. Using this as a slide, they could move up and down along the strings of a guitar imitating singing or the cries and moans of the human voice. This style uses an early method of tuning the guitar called open t...
The upright bass can be played with fingers or with a bow. Learn how to play upright bass in this free double bass video lesson from a music teacher.
Use a bow and drill set to make fire. The spindle is extended using a deer canon bone and the chuck is yucca with a black willow bit on the top. The hand hold is an elk knuckle and the hearthboard is some kind of maple.
In this video you watch a demonstration of what a person did before they began a dance during the early 19th Century. They show you what one is supposed to do before it and how the bow and curtsy work.
One of the best things about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the ammount of flexability there is in how to carry out a quest. And one of the best quest lines in the game is for the Dark Brotherhood. You know, the evil scumbags that are pretty much hire blades within the game. My favorite mission actually happens pretty early on in the quest line. The mission requires you to slay the emporer's niece, Vittoria Vicci, on her wedding day.
You want to know the real reason you pay so much money to dine at four and five-star restaurants? Well, the quality of the food is obviously a factor. But the biggest discrepancy is quite simply the presentation. Order something as simple as pan-seared tuna with sesame seeds and it'll come drizzled in a posmodernist Pollock-esque pattern of soy sauce and a miniature dragon made out of a carrot. It's pretty impressive stuff, almost as impressive as what your bill will be.
If you were a real farmer, hay bales and their appropriate organization would be a big manner of logistics. As feed for your horses, pigs, and goats, they're prized (and inexpensive) food as well as great padding for barns.
Ah, how we love springtime. While we're well aware that Jack Frost is still nipping at your nose, you can certainly look forward to beautiful blooms and great weather by starting in on your spring crafts. Check out this video to learn how to fold an origami azalea.
If you're running low on time and short on money this holiday season, there is a way to still give your friends and family presents without having to resort to cliche $5 Russell Stover chocolates from the drugstore.
Halloween is the one day of the year you could paint your face blue, wear a clown costume, and walk down the street with no one giving you a second glance. The spooktacular holiday is the perfect time to go crazy with your makeup and do wild looks, but we understand if you prefer to look more pretty than pretty scary this year.
Bring pretty back this Halloween by creating this gorgeous blue look inspired by the Greek god Poseidon. A little bit of background: Poseidon, or Neptune, is the god of the sea and storms.
We know dolls are supposed to be children's toys, but there's something about them that scares the living daylights out of us. Maybe, just maybe, it's those lifelike eyes that appear almost too real to be fake? That seem to follow us as we move around the room? Okay, maybe we've seen a few too many horror movies, but you have to admit there's just something off about dolls.
Whether you love Barbie or hate her plastic Mattel guts, you have to admit the girl's pretty. And if you were a little girl growing up in the U.S. you more likely than not had a Barbie to play with.
Honestly, we think Katy Perry is pretty without any makeup on (as she says in "Teenage Dream"). The girl does know how to work a makeup brush, though, and enjoys doing pin up looks with high intensity pigmentation.
Poison Ivy is one of our favorite female antagonists from "Batman." Sure, girl was a little crazy about her precious plants, but she was hot as hell and wore cute, skimpy outfits that flaunted her bodacious curves. She was also pretty damn gorgeous, all the more perfect for ensnaring her victims.
Kristen Stewart is a tomboy in the fullest sense of the term, stepping out to run errands in Chucks, a t-shirt, and jeans while other stars waffle around in four inch heels and J Brand skinnies.
Summer's almost over, which means going back to school (boo for 6 AM wake up calls), getting back on the fast track, and, most depressingly, losing our hard-earned summer glow. Okay, maybe it wasn't THAT hard-earned (unless you count lounging on the beach with a martini in hand hard), but we're quite saddened that we will once again rebound to our former sallow selves.
If you think about it, beds are a divine resting place. Free of outside distractions (we're hoping you don't bring your iPad and Blackberry into bed), warm, and cozy, a bad is the perfect place to just unwind, relax, and recharge.
It's flattering enough to be complemented on your pretty bag. So how awesome would it be to get compliments on a bag you made yourself? Not many people endeavor to craft a homemade bag (for fear of loose ends, things falling out of random holes, etc.), even though it's actually pretty easy.
Dessert has pretty bad connotations. After all, starving models and women trying to lose weight are often stereotyped as saying "no" to dessert in an effort to cut calories and not look like a piggy in front of friends (or a handsome date). It's pretty crappy, this world that we live in, with so much good food that's so bad for you tempting our every mealtime.

In our opinion, fake flowers are much better than the real things. While we're never going to turn down a handsome lad knocking at our door with a bursting bouquet of peonies in one hand and a box of chocolates in the other, fake flowers - in origami form - last far longer.
If you're anything like us, then you find it pretty ridiculous that whenever you purchase a gift card, you have to shell out nearly twice the amount of the gift card in order to put it into a neat, pretty gift card holder.

Bettie Page was the ultimate pin up girl. Naturally curvaceous and blessed with batty eyes and full lips, Page was adored by men all over and had women copying her every hairstyle and makeup look. It's no wonder, then, that we still see so many interpretations of her signature pompadour hair look today.

This works well for short hair. First of all you need to have artificial hair extensions of golden color or any other color of your choice.

The presenter then shows you how to add eyes, by pressing beads onto the face of the bunny using a needle. You can ...
