How to Make Potato-Stamped Gift Wrap

 Instead of purchasing a roll of wrapping paper at the store, bring your kids around the table to make custom hand-stamped paper with potatoes and paint. This old-school craft project is still a great way to get kids involved in the season of giving.


Materials Needed

white potatoes

metal cookie cutters

knife

cutting board

acrylic paint

1/2" flat artist brush

colored, white and brown Kraft paper


Create Potato Stamp

Using a sharp knife, cut large white potato in half (Image 1). Press metal cookie cutter firmly into potato half (Image 2). Next, cut around cookie cutter at about 1/2" depth, so the potato portion inside cookie cutter will protrude 1/2" to create the stamp (Image 3). Remove cut slice of potato around cookie cutter (Image 4) then remove cookie cutter from potato. You now have your completed stamp.

How to Pack an Emergency Go Bag for Home Evacuations

 Natural disasters such as hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, mudslides, wildfires, and even volcano eruptions can happen almost anywhere. If a natural disaster is looming and evacuation becomes possible, everyhousehold should have an emergency "go bag" ready for each family member. Even if you hope to ride out the danger with a store of supplies, packing an easy-to-carry bag with essentials will prove helpful in the aftermath. While protecting your home and business from disaster is important, protecting human lives is absolutely crucial. Taking even a few minutes to look for medications or documents can cost a life. Check bag every six months to rotate food and water supplies, refresh medications, update documents, and, especially for children, make sure clothing still fits.

How to Pack and Move a Flat Screen TV

Image
Packing and moving a flat-screen TV requires careful handling to prevent damage. Start by unplugging all cables and accessories, keeping them in a labeled bag. If you have the original box with foam inserts, use it for the best protection. Otherwise, wrap the screen with a soft blanket and secure it with packing tape, ensuring the screen remains covered. Use a sturdy cardboard box slightly larger than the TV, adding bubble wrap or packing peanuts for extra cushioning. Always keep the TV upright during transport and mark the box as "Fragile" to alert movers. If using a moving truck, secure the TV against a flat surface to avoid tipping. Upon arrival, carefully unpack and check for any damages before setting it up. Taking these precautions helps ensure your TV reaches its destination safely and in perfect working condition.
