How to Make a Two-by-Four Xylophone \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   \n\n\n \n The xylophone is a percussion instrument. If the bars are made of metal instead of wood, the instrument is called a metallophone. If they are made of rocks, you call it a lithophone. If they're made of bone, it's a bone-ophone. \n \n   \n  Steps:  \n1.   Choose a 7- to 8-foot-long two-by-four.  \n  \n2.   Cut off a 3-foot piece. This will be the low end of the xylophone.  \n  \n3.   Saw progressively shorter pieces at 2-inch intervals.  \n  \n4.   Sand the wood to prevent splinters.  \n  \n5.   Slide foam pipe insulation along the inside edges of a discarded drawer.  \n  \n6.   Lay the pieces of two-by-four across the drawer to form a sounding box.  \n  \n7.   Cut two 1/2-inch dowels to about 12 inches long.  \n  \n8.   Wrap the ends of the dowels with wide rubber bands to make soft mallets.  \n  \n9.   Use small ball-peen hammers for hard mallets.  \n  \n  \n  Tips:  \n Try different types of wood, which will produce different sounds.  \n  \n Driftwood makes for a great-looking instrument.

Lots of cool ways to make a parrot...\n\nyou could go the paper mache route..take a long balloon, some strips of news paper, elmers glue and water. (disposable clothes and containers) wood glue works reaaaaaaally well!\n\nmix half and half of the glue and water....(it should be a thick gooey liquidy consistency...not toothpaste but not milk either..)dip the strips in and cover the balloon with them in a criss-cross pattern...let dry..repeat a few times.\n\ntake a toilet paper roll and  cut and glue it into a beak shape..duct tape it onto a small balloon..repeat the paper mache process...\n\nwhen they are both dry..paint them...glue them together Or paper mache them together...add some craft feathers for the tail and head. pipe cleaners for legs. \n\nyou could make a toucan by collage-ing fruit loops boxes. \n\nyou could take a babies one piece outfit with hood..(like a snow suit bought at a goodwill store) and stuff it with news paper and glue feathers all over it...add a \n ball of some sort for the face and a beak. \n\nor...make a rag doll parrot..take some old clothes/tee shirts of different colors and rip them up! sew a crude parrot shape and stuff it with the rags. then take some of the rippings and tie them on to make colorful feathers. \n\npoint out that all of these processes require recycling which is good for the environment...\n\nhave fun!

The 7-up combo only works on flowers. Trim about 2 or 3 inches off the base of the tree, and let it soak in a large bucket of water for several hours.\nThen place it in the tree holder and fill the holder up with water and add 2 cups of sugar. Make sure you add water everyday if needed. This works for my tree every year. Good Luck and Happy Holidays to you......

My Christmas tree is so full of stuff that you barely notice the tree!\nI have a really nice fake tree, but the more stuff you have on it, the less likely you are to notice the 'fake' parts.\n\nI love tons of multi-colored lights.  I have some that flash and some that don't, evenly dispersed throughout the tree.  I also use strands of non-flashing white lights amongst the colored, to really show off my crystal ornaments. I use gold and/or silver garland, lots and lots of ornaments, unique ones and also colored balls, also strategically spread out around the tree, and a small amount of carefully placed silver icicles to seal the deal.  It takes a lot of time to decorate, but year after year, everyone who sees it remarks on how beautiful it is.  And it truly is NOT tacky looking.  My husband & I spend our evenings admiring it throughout the holidays.  It has so much character that it really draws you in.\n\nThat's MY idea of how a Christmas tree should look, but that's the really cool thing about trees; it's a totally individual thing.  What works for one person isn't right for another.  I guess the question is what you want your tree to say about YOU.  Do you want simple and elegant or do you want lively and fun?\n\nHappy decorating!\n\nPolly

One or two years ago I used buttons, glue, puff paint, etc. and decorated Christmas stockings for each member of my family. You can decorate it with a picture of something that they love, like music notes or a soccer ball. That way it's personalized and it works for any age or gender. Hope this helps

Make a 3d model and print it out using anim8or @ anim8or.com\n\nIf that is not in option, try using a styrafoam block and carve it.

if shops can sell blue, white, green, brown trees and even silver Christms trees - then why cant you buy a black one --- especially if it goes with your decor.\n\na Christmas tree, in your home, should be whatever colour you want, and decorated as you wish.\n\nthere are no rules that i know of.\n\nmy nan (bless her soul) used to have 2 white trees - one decorated with normal decorations, the other decorated with sweets for kids - \n\nso i say to you "do what you feel is best for you"\ni am sure it will look great, and might even start a trend ...\n\n:-)
