<span style="font-size: large;">My husband leaves mail EVERYWHERE.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I'm making a mail center.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am using these things.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">1. An unfinished window box from Michael's clearance section-$1.99</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">2. Paint stirrers from the painting we just did in the living room-$0</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The window box sits at an angle--fine for flowers, bad for mail.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I'm gonna use wood glue to put this little cutie inside the window box and create a surface for the mail to sit upon.</span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And one low-carb wrap, whatever brand you like. Also, the taco seasoning and cheese can be whatever brand you like. You can even make your own <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/taco-seasoning-i/">seasoning</a> from scratch if you don't have any in your pantry.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. Spray a 12" pan with cooking spray and put on low heat.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Lay your empty wrap in the pan.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Shave off all the corn from the cob and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the diced tomatoes and 1 tsp of taco seasoning. Mix well. Microwave, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">covered, for 1-2 minutes.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. Place corn mixture in the pan on top of your wrap. Sprinkle with cheese and cover.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">5. Heat the chik'n patty as directed. Cut into strips and lay, lengthwise, in your wrap.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">6.

3. Easy instructions on how to cook Indian food.<br />

Here's what I did:<br />
1. Purchase 1 bag lentils for 1 dollar.<br />
2. Paper mache a glass jar.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Stapler and glue</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">1. Assemble the box normally on one side. On the other side cut off all four flaps.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">2. Strengthen the corners with packing tape.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">3. Strengthen the whole thing with contact paper.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">At this point you have what looks like a box, except open on one end and covered in clear, adhesive plastic.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">4. Place your old pair of pants around the box just as you would around yourself.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">5. Cut off the excess pant legs leaving just enough material that you can fold and tape down on the end of the box that is closed, as if you're wrapping a present.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">6. Use epoxy or other strong glue to adhere the fabric to the bottom of the box.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">7. At the opposite end (the open end) staple around the perimeter of the top. Make sure your staples are going through both the cardboard and the fabric. Staple from the outside-in so that the rough parts are inside of the box.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">8. Using ribbon or felt, glue around the inside perimeter of the box to cover up the rough staples.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">9. If adding a belt, put it through the belt loops and buckle it.</span><br />

Because the outer ends were heavier than the ends glued to the can they kept being pulled down, thus releasing the adhesion. This was fixed by adding a piece of cardboard to the back so that the spoons were then sandwiched between it and the cardboard.</span><br />
