HOW TO MAKE A CORK HORSE

                                     HOW TO MAKE A CORK HORSE


              

Steps

1. 
   1
   Use the cork to form the horse's body. Make a split with a sharp craft knife in one end, ready for the head.
2. 
   2
   Carefully draw a horse's head and neck in profile on the cardboard. The neck part is important, as this is what you'll slide into the slit made in the cork body. Add as much horsey detail as you like. Cut out the horse head and neck shape.
   • The horse head and neck shape should be drawn proportional to the size of the cork you're using. Don't make it too large or the horse will be top heavy and may fall over.
3. 
   3
   Dab some glue onto the end of the neck portion of the head and neck shape. Slide the neck portion into the slit made earlier in the cork. Allow to set.
4. 
   4
   Use the four toothpicks to form the legs. Push them into the cork body, taking care to get them nicely balanced so your horse stands up straight.
5. 
   5
   Cut some lengths of yarn for the mane and tail. Glue them onto the horse's top neck area to form a mane. Glue the other pieces at the rear end to form the tail. Allow to dry. The cork horse is now complete.

HOW TO MAKE A CONSTELLATION JAR

Steps

1. 
   1
   Find an appropriate jar. The jar should have a wide opening.
2. 
   2
   Find an aluminum sheet. You should be able to get one at a metal cutter or a hardware store.
3. 
   3
   Roll the aluminum sheet around the jar. Mark the aluminum sheet for later trimming - it should completely cover the jar.
4. 
   4
   Cut the aluminum sheet into size.
5. 
   5
   Obtain a constellation map or pattern. You could search online and have it printed.
6. 
   6
   Tape it on the surface of the aluminum sheet.
7. 
   7
   Start making holes. Use the pattern as a guide in making your stars.
   • Use different sizes of needle or drill bit.
     
8. 
   8
   Remove the paper pattern.
9. 
   9
   Insert the aluminum sheet into the jar.
10. 
    10
    Obtain your lighting. You can use a tea light or any LED device that you can fit into the jar. Do not use real candles. The aluminium will melt and you will end up getting a melted star display. ;)
11. 
    11
    Light it up at night and watch the stars in your room!

HOW TO BREAK GLASS WITH YOUR VOICE

          


                               HOW TO BREAK GLASS WITH YOUR VOICE


                                   

Method 1 of 2: With Amplification

1. 
   1
   Put on safety goggles to protect your eyes when the glass shatters. Shattering glass produces very small fragments that can cause permanent damage to your eyes; this is nothing to mess around with.
2. 
   2
   Employ some kind of ear protection. The amplifier will need to be turned up fairly loud in order for this to work, so you need to protect your ears from potentially harmful sound levels. Again, don't mess around with risking permanent damage.
3. 
   3
   Connect the amplifier to an AC power outlet and set it up with its speaker facing away from you. This sends the potentially harmful sound levels in a safer direction (like toward your neighbors, for example).
4. 
   4
   Place a crystal glass (see Tips) directly in front of the amplifier's speaker. Look through the grille material of the amplifier to find the exact location of the speaker (or one of the speakers if there's more than one); using a flashlight can help with this.
5. 
   5
   Plug the microphone into the amplifier and place it as far away from the amplifier as the cable will allow.
   • Place the microphone on a standard microphone stand if available; this allows you to sing hands-free and focus your energies.
   • If the microphone has an on/off switch, turn it on now.
     
6. 
   6
   Walk over to the amplifier and turn it on. Don't carry the microphone over to the amplifier when you do this, as placing the microphone too near the amplifier will cause unpleasant and potentially ear-damaging feedback; this is another good reason for using a stand.
7. 
   7
   Turn the applicable volume controls on the amplifier to a relatively high level. Turning the controls to about 50% is a good starting point; or if you don't want to waste any time, set them at 75%. (But don't forget that ear protection.)
8. 
   8
   Flick the glass with your fingertip and listen carefully to the ringing sound.
   • You can also moisten your finger and rub the tip along the rim of the glass until it resonates audibly.
     
   • The pitch you hear is the resonating frequency of the glass; if you can duplicate this pitch with your voice loudly enough, you will cause the glass to vibrate with increasing force until it shatters.
9. 
   9
   Still standing near the glass and amplifier, keep tapping or vibrating the glass and begin humming/singing to duplicate its pitch.
10. 
    10
    Go to the microphone and sing the matching pitch directly into it.
    • Try singing with an "ah" vowel sound, opening your mouth as wide as possible.
    • Take deep breaths and hold the note as long as you can.
    • If the glass doesn't break at first, continue to breathe deeply and sing louder with each attempt.
    • When you achieve the perfect combination of the exact pitch at the necessary loudness, the glass will shatter.
    • If you're not successful at first and you started with the amplifier at 50% volume, you can try increasing the volume gradually and repeating the steps.
11. 
    11
    Dispose of the broken glass carefully. Wear gloves when cleaning up to minimize cuts and scrapes, and examine the area thoroughly to make sure you've picked up even the smallest fragments. Use a vacuum cleaner to finish up.

Method 2 of 2: Without Amplification

1. 
   1
   Put on safety goggles to protect your eyes when the glass shatters. Again, shattering glass produces very small glass fragments that can cause permanent damage to your eyes; it'll spoil the fun if you break the glass but ruin your eyesight.
2. 
   2
   Flick the glass with your fingertip and listen carefully to the ringing sound.
   • You can also moisten your finger and rub the tip along the rim of the glass until it resonates audibly.
     
   • The pitch you hear is the resonating frequency of the glass; if you can duplicate this pitch with your voice loudly enough, you will cause the glass to vibrate with increasing force until it shatters.
     
3. 
   3
   Place your mouth almost directly against the glass. This is not mandatory, as a skilled singer can break a glass from several inches away; but the closer you get, the more your vocal energy will be focused on the glass.
4. 4
   Begin singing the matching pitch as loud as you can.
   • Try singing with an "ah" vowel sound, opening your mouth as wide as possible.
     
   • Take deep breaths and hold the note as long as you can.
     
   • If the glass doesn't break at first, continue to breathe deeply and sing louder with each attempt.
     
   • When you achieve the perfect combination of the exact pitch at the necessary loudness, the glass will shatter.

HOW TO SING LIKE ARIANA GRANDE

                                    HOW TO SING LIKE ARIANA GRANDE



                                  

Steps

1. 
   1
   Always warm up before you sing. Ariana may be an international singing sensation, but she still does warm-ups! Clear your throat by drinking water or tea, then stand up, breathe deeply, and begin. Do tongue trills, buzzing, and humming to open up your mouth and throat. Next try some scales. Go up and down your current range a couple of times, singing as much from your diaphragm as possible. Try an octave higher if you want to improve your range (you might have to use your head voice for this). Finally, do a couple of top-to-bottom vocalizations, where you pick a sound like "ooh" or "ah" and take it from the highest note you can sing to the lowest.
   • Ariana likes to do these kinds of vocalizations in her warm-ups. She also likes to do scales with words that have open vowel sounds, such as "woozy" (as seen here).
   • If you can't do some of these exercises, don't strain yourself—you don't want to hurt your voice!
2. 
   2
   Work on your range. Again, the best way to do this is by singing scales, and trying to go slightly higher or lower than you have before. You should "slide" your voice up and down the scale rather than trying to make each note distinct. This will allow you to reach notes more easily without overextending your voice. Remember, if you can feel your throat starting to hurt or hear your voice starting to crack, stop what you're doing and try again later! Sometimes it really helps to take a break, especially when you've been trying to hit a certain note for a long time.
3. 
   3
   Belt it out! Hitting the notes is one thing, but if you want to be a true powerhouse singer like Ariana, you have to sing them loud and proud. Ariana actually has a lyric soprano voice, which is a light timbre, but she has practiced enough that she can still belt pretty forcefully. So practice belting whenever you have the opportunity, especially if you have a light voice. Keep your jaw relaxed and your breathing controlled while singing as powerfully as you can. With practice, you should be able to belt a standard musical scale several times over without taking a breath.
4. 
   4
   Sing whistle tones. After you've mastered (or at least attempted to master) the art of belting, combine that skill with super-high notes—notes so high they sound like whistling, hence the name. You really have to have an open throat for this, so make sure you're sufficiently warmed up. Try to vocalize as high as you can without your voice giving out. This can be extremely difficult for altos and light timbres, because it takes a lot of effort to create a sound that high, even though it might not seem that way. Just be persistent and your whistle tones will follow!
   • If you want to hear Ariana singing whistle tones, listen to the beginning of "Right There" or the third chorus of "The Way" (around the 3:10 mark she uses whistle tones to harmonize with the main lyrics).
5. 
   5
   Do vocal gymnastics. Whistle tones are challenging, but they're not as fast-paced as the vocal ups and downs that Ariana tumbles through in some of her songs. Listen to "Problem" and "Tattooed Heart" for good examples of vocal gymnastics, in which Ariana goes from low notes to very high notes in a matter of seconds. Once you can do her part from the chorus in "Problem" (Head in the clouds, got no weight on my shoulders, etc.) without any trouble, you can consider yourself an excellent vocal gymnast

HOW TO BE ARIANA GRANDE

                                         HOW TO BE LIKE ARIANA GRANDE !!!



 

Part 1 of 2: Look Like Ariana

1. 
   1
   Get Ariana-worthy hair. Ariana is well known for her "red velvet" color that she has on Sam & Cat.
   • However, her hair stylists actually use a temporary glaze to achieve this color, so currently, her hair is back to her natural color (brunette!) with blonde ombred tips.
   • Ariana's signature hairstyle is a voluminous half-up half-down do, with curled ends. To accomplish this look, slick the top half of your hair back into a sleek ponytail and tie it carefully. Then curl the ends of your hair. This gives you a major boost in the process.
   • For a more detailed explanation, look at photos or watch tutorials on YouTube.
   • Also make sure to accessorize with a pretty hair bow (which Ariana wears a lot of).
2. 
   2
   Keep your make-up simple and understated. Ariana uses simple, fresh makeup that doesn't distract from her natural beauty.
   • She only uses the basics; concealer/foundation, mascara, a tiny bit of eyeliner, and a fresh, natural color of eye shadow. She likes to finish off the look with a swipe of pale pink lip gloss.
     
   • Ariana wore a lot more eyeliner and mascara when she was younger, so you can try that if you want your eyes to appear larger. She claims that since she's Italian, she has dark circles under her eyes, so she always wears concealer.
     
   • Ariana has also confessed that she hates when red carpet stylists put too much makeup on her, so keep your makeup simple. Don't overdo it.
     
   • Ariana uses Hoola bronzer by benefit and Laura Mercier or MAC blush. One of her favorite brands is Urban Decay. So stock up on these brands for a true Ariana-style make up look.
   • She currently has a makeup tutorial on her YouTube channel (osnapitzari) with all of her favorite products. You can watch that for some more tips.
3. 
   3
   Steal her style. Ariana's style is cute, girly, retro, and sophisticated. She has many different personalities when it comes to style. You can see her in anything from a Dolce & Gabbana dress, to a flirty high-waisted skirt, to jeans and her favorite sweatshirt.
   • Ariana wears classy dresses for award shows and premieres, but they're usually strapless - so don't feel pressured to wear those if you're not comfortable. However, Ariana also likes flowery, bubblegum sundresses that let her girly personality shine.
   • Ariana wears a lot of two-piece sets, such as crop tops, bandeaus, or bustiers with a skirt or a pair of high-waisted shorts. If your school has a dress code or if you're not allowed to show that much skin, opt for camisoles instead.
   • To have an Ariana inspired wardrobe, you'll need a few essential pieces, such as nude pumps, flirty and floral sundresses, crop tops, American Apparel skirts and high-waisted shorts and bandeaus.
   • Ariana's favorite clothing stores are Nasty Gal, Wildfox Couture, Forever 21, Topshop, American Apparel, Brandy Melville, Abercrombie, LF Stores, and Urban Outfitters. Her favorite designer is Kenley Collins, who custom makes a lot of outfits for Ariana.
4. 
   4
   Accessorize like Ariana. Ariana doesn't wear too much jewelry, so stick with a simple bracelet or necklace. She likes simple and sophisticated pearl earrings and necklaces -- just like her 50s movie icons Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn.
   • In terms of shoes, Ariana mostly wears high heels (her favorite pair are her nude pumps). But if you're still pretty young, go for a pair of pretty ballet flats.
     
   • If you're going for a more casual Ariana look, get your hands on some Vans skate shoes, which Ariana wears a lot.
   • Ariana's favorite brand of nail polish is Chanel, but don't worry if you can't afford it. She usually wears pale pink or vibrant red.
     
   • One must have accessory is a cute Rilakkuma iPhone case, in the shape of a little brown bear. This is often caught on camera when Ariana takes selfies on her phone!
5. 
   5
   Take good care of your skin. Ariana's skin is very healthy. She was born and raised in Florida, so she has a nice, naturally tanned skin color.
   • To get beautiful, glowing skin like hers, drink lots of water (one of her personal tips) and eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Ariana's favorite fruits are strawberries and grapes, and she eats them a lot to keep her skin looking healthy.
     
   • Wear sunscreen everyday to protect your skin from sun damage. This is especially important if you live some hot and sunny like Ariana (who currently lives in L.A).
     
   • If you suffer from acne, make sure you wash your face twice a day (don't wash it any more than that because it can irritate your skin and cause even more acne) and use a spot cream containing benzoyl peroxide or to get rid of any pimples.
     

Part 2 of 2: Act Like Ariana

1. 
   1
   Eat healthily. Ariana loves to eat healthy, as it gives her the energy to keep going during long work days and helps her to keep her slim, feminine figure.
   • Ariana eats organic oatmeal with fruit every morning to get her body ready for the day. She eats a handful of almonds with this for protein, and Ariana has recently become vegan. You can do this too if you really want to be like Ariana, or just go vegetarian. .
     
   • Since she has long work days, she usually eats healthy snacks like Think Thins, Live Raw bars or Pure bars, which are healthier than Special K bars.
   • Ariana is actually a vegan but if that is not the road for you, try some lean protein like salmon or chicken along with fruits and vegetables for lunch or dinner. By eating this way, you get to eat every 2-4 hours and have around 5 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones.
     
   • Remember that eating healthily is more important than counting calories. In fact, consuming a lot of calories is better than skipping meals, as long as the calories you're consuming are from good, healthy foods.
     
2. 
   2
   Keep fit. Ariana's good friend and choreographer Isaac Calpito has helped her to stay fit and look her best by teaching her how to stay active.
   • Even if you're not a hardcore athlete, taking walks or slow jogs will help you stay healthy, as long as you do them regularly.
     
   • Find a fun way to exercise that you enjoy -- try signing up for a dance class, get some friends together to play volleyball or jump on a trampoline. If you can find something you enjoy, you'll find it much easier to motivate yourself to exercise!
     
3. 
   3
   Imitate her fun, genuine personality. Ariana's personality is sweet, bubbly, and fun, just like her character on Victorious. She loves to joke around with her friends, and she can act playful and childish while still having a good time.
   • Ariana has what you'd call a "happy go lucky" personality -- she's always in a happy, energetic mood and that's why people are drawn to her and want to be just like her. Try not to be too serious or moody, as that is the opposite of Ariana.
     
   • Ariana's real passion is singing -- her idols are Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. Download some of their songs and listen to them on repeat! If you have a good voice, have a go at singing them yourself.
     
   • Don't swear. Ariana rarely curses, unless it's on occasion with her friends. She never wants to set a bad example for her younger fans. Over-swearing will make you seem ignorant and unladylike. Ariana prefers to keep it classy.
     
   • Do some charity work -- Ariana has several causes she's passionate about, including helping disadvantaged kids and fighting against animal cruelty. Get involved with helping others if you really want to be like Ariana.
     
4. 
   4
   Take selfies. Ariana is an avid Tweeter and Instagramer. She loves taking selfies and posting them on these sites to share her fun personality and style with her fans.
   • To take selfies like Ariana, tilt your head to one side and look up at the camera from this angle - avoid looking at the camera straight on. This pose is really flattering as it highlights your cheekbones and makes your eyes look bigger. You can also sweep your hair over one shoulder to make your hair look more voluminous.
   • Use flattering filters and fun stencils. Ariana favors soft, golden filters which give a warm look to her photos or classic black and white for a touch of retro glamor! Add cute heart-shaped stencils and other fun effects to your photos with the AfterLight app (which Ariana loves).
   • Be playful. Try to have fun with your photos - there's no need to look serious and pouty all the time - Ariana certainly doesn't! Stick out your tongue, take silly pictures with your friends or pets and just have fun with it (Miley's not the only one sticking that wild tongue of hers out)!
5. 
   5
   Surround yourself with close friends. Find caring, genuine friends who love you for you and will be there for you no matter what. Some of Ariana's closest friends are Alexa Luria, Elizabeth Gillies, and Jennette McCurdy.
   • A tip for making good friends is to talk to people you see a lot. For example, if you're in a dance class, art class, etc. where there's a ton of people, talk to them and a great friendship could blossom. Ariana does the same. She's around her crew members a lot, and now she's best friends with most of them.
     
   • Remember that it's okay to have close guy friends too! Ariana has had many close friends in her life of the opposite gender, such as Jones Crow and Isaac Calpito.
     
   • Try being close to your family members as well. Ariana and her older brother Frankie have a great brother-sister relationship.
     
6. 
   6
   Be yourself. Ariana's not afraid to show her true personality to her fans, family, and friends. She's not afraid to say what's on her mind or tweet something totally silly sometimes.
   • Find your own personal style and stick to it. It's okay to want to follow in Ariana's footsteps and look up to her, but remember not to act exactly like her. Let your true self shine as well!
