Leprechaun Dog Hat

O.K. since St. patricks day is coming up I decided to make my sisters dog a leprechaun hat.
Now the things you will need are:
felt- 2 Green,Black,Yellow,
craft glue
ruler
scissors
marker

Use green felt and cut 7 inches high & 6 inches wide.
Then cut a green square 5 3/4 inches wide & 6 inches long.
Take 7 in to 6 in green felt you cut out earlyer and roll it up to make a tube and gule.
Then take your 5 3/4 inch to 6 inch felt green and cut it to make a circle then in the center cut a circle the size of the tube circle and glue it to the circle tube.
Next take your black felt and cut 11 inches then rap it around the the tube and glue
Now you will take your yellow felt and cut 1 inch by 1 inch then cut in the middle a square and glue the your yellow buckle you just made to the black piece.
Almost done cut from your green felt a 4 inch to 4 inch then put the piece on top of your hat and glue then after its done drying
cut around it.
One more adjustment now use entheir elastic string or a small strip of green felt about 8 inches long to how wide you want it to be but try not to make it really thin. Then glue it on the bottom side of the hat and your done.

Green Tea

Whats better in the moring than a cup of green tea
you will need:
measuring cup
loose green tea leaves
teapot
water
                                          Where to get loose green tea leaves:

                              you can get them at Whole Foods, Trader Joes  or local Asian supermarkets

                           How to make it:

                  O.k. the water it's best to use spring water or filtered water. Distilled water
ruins the integrity of the green leaves plus it takes away the health benefits.
Now that you have your teapot and a portion of loose green leaves per milliliters of water make a use of a measuring cup
when you put the and green tea leaves in the teapot let it boil reducing the temperature of 85 degrees celsius before you drop the leaves in let the leaves boil for a minute, Well you are done so enjoy your green tea.

Green Dye From Coneflower

Now snice I was make green things I thought make green dye,so that every thing will be green
now go outside and see if you have coneflower if so
Blossoms should be in full bloom, berries ripe and nuts mature. Remember, never gather more than 2/3 of a stand of anything in the wild when gathering plant stuff for dye Chop plant material into small pieces and place in a pot. Double the amount of water to plant material. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about an hour (for plant dyes) 4 parts cold water to 1 part vinegar

I think it works best with fabric.
