A pumpkin. We recommend that if it is your first time, choose a medium size and, above all, make sure that the bottom is fairly smooth so that the pumpkin can stand alone on a surface. Also, much better if one of their faces is something smooth, since it will be much easier to work on it.

You will need:

A large spoon.

A marker or marker to draw the outlines.

A small candle with round base.

2. First of all, it is important that you protect the table in which you are going to make the pumpkin with newsprint or a plastic tablecloth that you do not mind breaking. Next, when you have the squash well placed on the table you must cut the top with the help of a knife to create a kind of circular cap. With this, you get an opening that is where you can extract the inside of the pumpkin and leave it empty.

3. Once the lid is made, it is time to empty the pumpkin completely. You should do it with a water melon slicer and gradually remove all the pulp and seeds inside with a large spoon, leaving at least 2 or 3 centimeters edge. The fleshy filling of the pumpkin can be placed in a clean container and preserved to make, afterwards, delicious recipes with it.

Cut the top of the pumpkin with a knife. Keep in mind that the top will be the lid and you will need to fit perfectly when the Halloween pumpkin is finished.

4. To draw the terrifying face of the pumpkin! Now, with a black label or marker, you must draw the Halloween pumpkin's facial features. Make triangular eyes and nose, and a zig zag mouth leaving the shape of two teeth to make it look much more frightening.

Once the drawing is well marked, you only have to start cutting all the pieces with the help of a knife or a cutter, do it by following the lines that you have drawn so that the final result is well.

5. When you remove the pieces, you will see how terrifying the face of your Halloween pumpkin is. To enhance its dark aspect and give it a mysterious touch, nothing better than placing a small candle inside the pumpkin, so it will be completely illuminated and will look much better in the dark. You can cover the pumpkin with the top that you have trimmed before and place them in that corner of your home that you want to decorate the night of the dead and the witches.

It is important to take precautions and not to leave the candle lit next to dangerous objects or that could cause a fire, in addition it is convenient to put out the flame in case you leave the house.

5 tips for decorating your home for the first time

The adventure of having an empty house in front of you and filling it with your own style and your energy, where to start?

It is very difficult when you face your new house completely empty, without furniture, without anything. A thousand doubts arise: What style? How do I choose colors? Why room do I start? All together? Little by little?

For those who already have their home ready, do not stop reading it because it is always good to know a tip that allows us to make our house more comfortable and beautiful.

Where to start?

When you plan to decorate your house for the first time it is a good idea to start with the living room. It is the most important place in the house - where you spend more time - the place where you enjoy to rest for a while and where you meet with your family and friends.

The essential furniture can not miss: the sofa. Then the auxiliary furniture, textiles, accessories, etc. will arrive.

5 tips for decorating your home for the first time

How to choose furniture?

To decorate the house for the first time is necessary to go little by little. Do not buy things that you do not know how to fit in later, or how to make them all work together in a space that seemed bigger than it really is.

My advice is to live the house a while before buying the furniture. Obviously not comfortable, but I assure you that you will save money and the result will be much better.

Once you have more idea of what your house is like and you have inhabited it for a while, buy the most important furniture and always with the subway at hand. Then he adds pieces little by little, but without filling you with things. I distributed the furniture well and left enough space for circulation.

Functionality or aesthetics?

Always first the functionality. And here I have to do a self-criticism. I am very buy for aesthetics and husband hates to do that! And he's right, the important thing is to feel comfortable, because that makes life easier for us. If we shoot with a sofa but we do not feel comfortable, then keep looking until you find the functionality and the aesthetics in equal parts.

How to choose colors?

Neutral colors, bright and clear: for walls. You will never go wrong. If you want to give a more trendy effect, paint one of the walls of the room in a darker color, but only one.

And if you want to add some accessories, bright color wall stickers like 3d wall butterflies can option for you.

Another thing, the warm tones go better in the living room, the entrance and the living room. For the bedrooms, the more peaceful and relaxing colors go better.

Illumination

This point is very important! You have to give a lot of ball to both natural and artificial light.

The natural, we must enhance it. Never cover windows with curtains of heavy fabrics. It seems obvious, but I tell them it's more common than you think.

If you have nice windows and a nice view, do not close the curtains. Another thing that also seems obvious, but how many people do it.

How to Make Homemade Bread?

7 Ingredients

10 cups all-purpose flour (if you want to alternate with whole-wheat flour substitute 4 cups for another)

3 3/4 cups of water at room temperature

8 whole eggs

2 tablespoons salt

5 tablespoons of sugar

4 tablespoons instant yeast

1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature

1. In a clean table incorporate the flour in the form of volcano and in the center add: water, eggs, salt, sugar, yeast and butter in small pieces. Mix with your hands to integrate all the ingredients. Knead for 15 to 20 minutes or until mixture is peeled off. Sprinkle flour on the table if necessary, but not much.

2.Once the mixture is made into a homogeneous mass, let it stand for 1 hour covered with a plastic bag. Grease with vegetable oil the trays and reserve.

3. Grease your hands with oil and form small and medium-sized balls in a circular way, from the inside out and place them on the greased trays. If the tray sticks, place white paper with oil (baker's secret). Let the dough balls bulge for 30 minutes with the bag on top.

4.Give the dough the shape you like. If you want breads in the form of bollitos, long or round. You can even make them stuffed or sprinkle them with herbs. Once again let the dough rise in the desired shape for 30 minutes simply with the bag on top.

5. Beat a whole egg and reserve. Preheat the wholesale bakery supplies to 350º F.

6. Using a brush or napkin lightly varnish the dough with the beaten egg. Let again leaved for 1 hour with the plastic bag on top.

7. Before placing the dough in the oven, place a bowl of stainless steel with water in the middle in the bottom of the oven. This will prevent them from burning the loaves and helps maintain moisture. (Secret of the baker). Bake the large breads in the bottom and the smallest in the top of the oven, for about 1 hour or until golden.

8. Before eating, you can cut it into several pieces with the plastic cake knife and let it cool.

How to Repair a Small Hole in Cotton Clothes

Small holes in cotton clothing often result from destructive hooks or termites and insects that feed on tiny holes in clothing and are usually no bigger than a pill. They are easy to repair and become imperceptible after fixing. Big holes are more noticeable, but there are always ways to hide them so you do not have to throw your favorite cotton outfit for one or two small holes.

Instructions

1. Examine the garment to find small holes to repair. If necessary, mark each hole by drawing a circle with the pencil, a marker or a piece of chalk that can be easily washed.

2. Take the garment you are repairing and take it to buy a spool of thread that is the same color as the garment or the damaged part. To select the thread more widely, visit a craft shop or sewing. 

3. Cut a piece of cotton thread from your arm's length for small holes measuring less than 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) in diameter. Thread the needle, bend the thread and make a small knot at the end. 

4. Turn the garment upside down, hold the piece up and join the edges of the hole. Sew long stitches over the hole instead of making it around to cover the gap without making the seam visible.

5. Unfold and stretch the piece before securing the thread once you have finished mending it, this ensures that the cotton does not curl around the siege you just fixed. Put the threaded needle underneath the previous points and cut the excess rope. Repeat the entire process in another small hole.

This is the guide on repairing a small hole in cotton clothes by yourself. The next time we will share how to repair a small hole in cotton clothes with hand held sewing machine. If you are interested, you can follow my blog. Thank you!
