Winter might be over, but it doesn’t mean we still don’t want to bundle up and get super cozy. Also, if you make one now it will be ready for next years Winter. Where you expect windows, doorways, attics, and other such areas of houses and buildings can allow a lot of heat to escape, and it gets replaced by much colder air.
One area in particular that’s often overlooked is floors. If you have hardwood or solid flooring in your home then you know just how freezing they can get. The easiest solution to eliminate cold floors is to throw a rug down, but that can get very expensive very fast.
Nice, thick, quality made rugs are usually quite pricey and if you need several of them they’ll cost you a lot. Instead of searching all over for a rug that fits your budget and style, try making one that’s affordable and exactly what you want.
It’s not as hard or impossible as you may think to weave together a rug. With this tutorial from Expression Fiber Arts you can create a beautiful, thick, durable crochet rug that will keep your toes warm on all those upcoming chilly nights.
The rug shown in the video is made from gray merino wool roving that has been crocheted together by hand without using any tools. Wool roving is a thick bundle of raw fibers that have been lined up neatly and made ready for further use, they usually get spun into yarn.
This project took a total of 7.5 pounds of roving to complete, so keep that in mind if you plan on making the same one or a larger rug. If you use a pricier type of wool, like merino, it will be a lot more expensive than if you use less costly materials, such as cotton or bamboo.
To make the rug it’s best to refer to the video tutorial. The woman showing you how to do it, Chandi, has a bunch of helpful pro-tips and hits on a lot of details that a brief overview would lack. This is one of those projects that’s easier to do, and turns out best, when you have a visual guide showing you exactly what to do every step of the way.
If you already know how to crochet then you’ll easily pick up the process. If you’re not familiar with crocheting, don’t worry! This is something you can definitely do and the video thoroughly explains and guides you through it from start to finish.
The pace is slow enough so that you can better see exactly what to do, and that makes it very easy to follow and replicate. When it’s all over you’ll end up making a beautiful, thick rug that will last a lifetime and keep your feet warm all winter long. Check it out and give it a try!

A Nurse Wraps A Blanket Around This Newborn Baby. THIS Is Something Every Parent Should See!
image via – youtube.com
Everyone knows that newborns are one of life’s most joyful miracles. The cute, adorable, tiny little babies that are new to the world are quite fragile and need a lot of tender love and care. When parents bring home a baby for the first time they are often faced with many new challenges and hurdles in all areas of their lives.
One of the biggest hurdles is learning how to take care of the baby properly. Everything you do with a child has to be done with care and their health and safety in mind. The way a baby is held, the way they sleep, how, when, and what they eat all need to be carefully considered and kept track of.
Many books, companies, and individuals offer advice and classes or programs that teach new parents and those expecting how to take care of a baby. While those can be helpful and offer some insight into what to expect, in terms of a newborn you can only truly learn by doing.
When it comes down to it, hands on care and trial and error are all part of the newborn baby experience and it’s the best way to figure out what works best for you and your baby. One of the most difficult areas that parents often bring up is the babies sleep patterns.
Whether it is that the child has problems falling asleep, staying asleep, or wakes them up at all hours, there seems to always be something at issue in this area. One way in which parents can help a newborn get better sleep is by swaddling them. Swaddling is when you wrap up a baby snugly and comfortably in a cozy, warm baby blanket or two.
Doing this makes the baby feel like it’s back in its mother’s womb, all safe and secure, and thus helps them feel more at ease. A baby that is comfortable and at ease is much more likely to be able to fall asleep, stay asleep, and sleep better all around. And so will you.
The accompanying video shows you how to double swaddle a baby and includes how to make a hoodie for them as well. The more covered the better, especially the head area. You will need two baby blankets for this technique and watch the video to best see how all of the folds and wrapping are done.
It’s easy to mimic and after a few tries you’ll have it down pat, like a baby wrapping pro. Also, there are some key things you want to avoid when swaddling a baby. Do not wrap the child too tightly.
According to babycenter.com this can sometimes lead to hip dysplasia and to avoid the problem always make sure the bottom of the blanket is wrapped loosely enough so that the baby has room to wiggle around. You should always monitor any swaddled babies to make sure they don’t roll onto their stomach, which could lead to suffocation.
As a general rule, always place a baby on its back to sleep and keep a close eye on them just in case they happen to roll over.

She Takes 4 Mugs Of Raw Eggs And Holds Them Over Hot H2O. When She’s Done A Delicious Surprise!
Eggs are one of the most versatile foods to cook with and eat. They are a main ingredient in many recipes and are often cooked by themselves in a variety of different ways. The fact that they are widely available and inexpensive further make them a staple to have on hand in the kitchen.
Plus, they make a great addition to main dishes or as a side accompaniment to a meal. Even people who are not master chefs can easily whip up a batch of scrambled, hard boiled, or fried eggs. However, when it comes to poaching an egg, that falls on the more difficult side of the egg cooking spectrum.
Poaching is a cooking method whereby a food is dropped and simmered in a liquid. Usually the liquid is water, milk, or some type of stock, and it’s an ideal way to cook foods that tend to fall apart when cooked other ways.
That’s why many recipes involving eggs, fish, chicken, and fruits are poached. Mastering the technique can be difficult but if you follow the accompanying tutorial from America’s Test Kitchen you can get it down right and soon you can be poaching 8 eggs simultaneously.
First off, you are going to need water, a skillet with a lid, 2 tablespoons of white vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, 8 large eggs, and 4 ceramic tea cups. Start by filling up a skillet with water and add in the white vinegar and sea salt.
Place it on the stove over high heat and wait until it boils. In the meantime, prepare the eggs by cracking 2 of them into each one of the tea cups. When the water has reached a steady boil turn off the stove and slide the skillet off of the hot burner.
Grab two tea cups in each hand and gently tilt them while lowering the rims into the water. All of the eggs should flow out at once and thus will cook evenly. Place the lid on the skillet, wait five minutes, and do not move or agitate the pan.
Take the lid off and scoop up each egg individually with a slotted spoon. Place them all on a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess water and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. In the end, you should end up with neatly cooked egg whites that ensconce a still runny, slightly creamy, liquid yolk.
When you dig a fork into them and pierce the whites the yellow yolk will spill out and that’s what the ideal poached egg should look like. Bon AppĂ©tit!

He Takes A Knife And Slices It Through This Popcorn Bag. But What He Makes Is Brilliant!

Microwave popcorn is one of the easiest and most convenient snacks to make. All you need to do is stick the bag in the microwave the right side up and press the preset ‘popcorn’ button. A few minutes later it’s done and ready to be scarfed down.
While at first glance it may seem like there is no way in which the process can be improved upon, there are always ways to make things better and microwave popcorn is no exception. Leave it to everybody’s favorite, YouTube’s Crazy Russian Hacker, to figure out the top hacks in which to go about making awesome popcorn.
Firstly, when most people go to reach into a bag of freshly popped popcorn they usually do it from either of the two ends. That means they end up sticking their fingers down into the greasy, buttery, salty, and sometimes cheesy bag to fish around for their snack and end up getting their hands all dirty.
Instead, open the bag from the side by laying it flat and using a knife to cut the entire side off. This makes it easy to reach all the popcorn without coating your entire hand in grease. Another issue is there are always a few kernels that fail to pop in the bag and no one likes biting down on a hard piece.
To easily get rid of them just shake the bag with the heat vent side facing down over a trash can. The unpopped pieces will make their way out of the bag and fall into the garbage where they belong. If you ever find yourself with popcorn kernels but no way to pop them try making your own bag popping system.
Take a brown paper bag and fill the bottom with the kernels, then add in a little pat of butter and whatever seasonings you like, rumple and close the bag and stick it in the microwave. Be careful to watch the bag as it pops and make sure you don’t overcook it.
This way works just as well as the prepackaged versions. This method also works with a glass bowl and a glass or microwave safe plate. Simply combine all the ingredients like above into the bowl and then place the plate over the top so it is covered.
Place it in the microwave, press the popcorn setting and watch it pop. Be careful removing it because the glass will be super heated. Finally, to modify a bag of popcorn you can cut open a slit on one side and pour in seasonings or add more butter to it that way.
Then take a piece of paper tape (not plastic) and cover the slit, microwave, and open from the side to enjoy. Making it this way ensures that the popcorn will be tastier and better suited to whatever preferences you may have.
Get creative and try new taste combinations, who knows, you could end up making the best popcorn of your life!

He Takes A Lighter And Holds It Under His Key. The Reason Is Genius But a Little Scary!
image via – youtube.com
When it comes to keys, they often get misplaced or lost and many seem to disappear when you need them the most. Some of us are vigilant and make copies to have on hand in case we ever lose them, but most people don’t bother to get a spare made.
It’s a minor inconvenience to go to a hardware store and have one made, yet people put it off and eventually forget about getting it done until it’s too late. If you have ever been stuck with a lock and no key to open it, then you know how frustrating and hopeless the situation can be.
The only options you really have are to break the thing open, try and cut the lock, hire an expensive locksmith, or give up on it. At that point, it’s more than likely that the thought “why didn’t I make a stupid spare key for this?” is going through your mind.
Now you can make a spare key in the comfort of your home, without going to the hardware store or spending any money. YouTube’s very own MacGyver, the man with a solution for just about anything, DaveHax, shows how to cobble up a spare in no time at all.
The basic items you will need are the original key, a lighter, a tin can lid, a piece of tape, and scissors. The type of key you’ll end up making is more of an emergency, last resort type of spare to have on hand. Check out the video for an easy to follow tutorial and read on for more information on how to DIY.
Take the original key and place a flame underneath it. A candle or lighter works best for this, and if you hold the key with a pair of pliers you’ll reduce the chances of burning your fingers. Hold the key over the flame until it’s coated black and then place it somewhere safe to cool off.
Meanwhile, take a strip of tape and carefully place it onto the key and then peel it off. This picks up the black soot and makes an exact copy. You can clean off any remaining black left on the original key by rubbing it with a paper towel.
Next, take a lid from a can of food, place it flat on a table, and stick the tape onto the lid. Grab a pair of sharp scissors and carefully cut out the key, making sure to cut it as close and accurately as possible, without cutting yourself on any sharp edges.
When you’re finished you should have a replica key that matches up exactly with the original. To ensure that it works, test out the copy you made on whatever lock it goes to.
You may have to wiggle it gently to make it fit, so be careful no to bend or break it because the key you make is going to be much thinner than the original.
