article: These supplies can be found at most grocery stores, general retailers, and craft stores. Additionally, feel free to add embellishments to your Christmas tree when decorating it. For this project, you'll need:  Buttons Drop cloth (or similar work surface cover) Green paint (acrylic recommended) Hot glue gun (and glue) Pain brush Paper plate Paper/plastic cup Pencil Popsicle sticks Ruler Scissors (sturdy ones preferred) Twine (or yarn; about 6 inches) Fill your paper or plastic cup with water. Then lay out about a dozen popsicle sticks on your work surface. Squirt some paint onto your paper plate, moisten your brush in water, dip it into the paint, and paint your sticks so they are completely green on both sides.  Too much water in your brush can make your paint watery and thin. Press your brush against the inside upper lip of your cup to remove excess moisture. After painting, you'll have to wait for the paint to completely dry. Depending on the paint you have used, dry times will vary, but in many cases the paint will be dry in about an hour. Use a drop cloth, newspapers, cardboard, and so on to cover your work surface and prevent paint from spreading to it or your home. You may want to dress young children in smocks to prevent paint from accidentally getting on their clothes (or spreading elsewhere). Take your painted sticks and arrange them so they are positioned lengthwise, left-to-right, in front of you in rows. There should be no spaces between sticks, and each stick should form a single row.  The number of rows of popsicle sticks will determine the size of your tree. You could use 11 sticks in a row to make a single large tree, or you could make two groups of 5 sticks in a row to make two smaller trees. At least one popsicle stick should be kept separate from the rest. This will form the trunk. If making two trees from your 12 sticks, you'll need to set aside two sticks for trunks, and so on. Starting from the stick closest to you, you are going to cut the rows of sticks to create a tapering shape that narrows as it moves away from you, like a triangle with its base facing you. This will be the body of the tree. The appeal of this particular popsicle Christmas tree is its rough, irregular appearance. For this reason, you may want to free-hand when cutting your popsicle sticks to create a tapering effect in your stick rows. For a more regular tapering effect:  Take your ruler and measure the stick row that is farthest away from you. Measure it end to end, lengthwise, then use a pencil to mark its center. Lay your ruler so it forms an angle between the mark at the middle of the farthest row and the leftmost end of the row closest to you. Draw along this line a pencil. Draw the same angle reflected on the other side of the sticks. The line you draw will run between the mark at the middle of the farthest row and the rightmost end of the row closest to you. Starting from the middle mark of the farthest row and moving toward the base, where your angled lines cross onto a new stick row, draw a line straight down across the middle of each stick. This should create a guideline shaped like a stair step. Normal scissors may not be able to cut through the popsicle sticks easily. A sturdy pair of heavy duty ones or cutting shears will work best. Cut the ends of your sticks along the guidelines you have drawn so that the rows of sticks shorten with each row that moves away from you. If you find that your scissors aren't effective, place a cutting mat or cardboard beneath the sticks, then use a utility knife to deeply score the sticks along the guidelines. Bend these to break off the ends and create your tapering row effect. Insert the glue into the top feeder slot in the gun and plug it in. Place a piece of scrap paper or card stock beneath the gun's nozzle to catch any drips. Most hot glue guns heat up in about 5 minutes, though depending on your model, this may take more or less time. Most hot glue guns have a foldable arm that is used to keep the gun propped up. This encourages good glue flow. Take your hot glue gun and put a dab of glue ¾ of the way to one end of the trunk popsicle stick that you kept separate from the popsicle stick rows. Attach the ends of your twine or yarn to the trunk stick with the dab of hot glue. Allow this to dry, then:  Apply a line of hot glue to the length of your trunk stick on the same side you've glued your twine or yarn. Press your trunk stick to attach it to the tapered rows at the middle of the stick rows. The trunk stick should connect all stick rows. If you have many stick rows to make a large tree, you may need to chain together several overlapping trunk sticks to connect all stick rows together. You can attach many colorful additions to your tree to make it more festive. By hot gluing many colored buttons on your tree, you can give it an effect that mimics Christmas lights. Some other decorating ideas include:  Using hot glue to attach little bells to your tree. Applying glitter to your tree to make it look snowy. Attaching sequins to your tree to make it more glamorous.

Store the turkey for up to 1 year for maximum freshness. Preserve frozen pre-stuffed turkeys in the freezer before cooking."

Manufacturers choose packaging that keeps bacteria out, maintaining the meat’s freshness. As soon as you remove the original packaging, you expose the meat to bacteria, increasing the potential for spoilage. The packaging must be leak-proof. Check the turkey over before buying it. Avoid any turkeys with punctured or leaky packaging. At this temperature, the bird remains completely frozen. Freezing a turkey is the best way to retain its quality and freshness until you’re ready to use it. If you don’t plan on using the turkey right away, keep it on ice. Fresh turkeys are safe to store in the freezer, including hunted ones. If the turkey isn’t already packaged, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Put it in an airtight bag and store it for up to a year. Vacuum sealed bags are the best way to keep turkeys fresh. If this isn’t an option, put the wrapped turkey into a large bag, such as a garbage bag, and push the air out before tying it up tightly. Whole turkeys last an entire year, but turkey parts tend to not last as long. Parts like wings and drumsticks stay fresh for about 9 months in their proper packaging. Ground turkey is best when used within 3 to 4 months. Technically, turkey can be stored indefinitely in the freezer. After about a year, turkey begins losing quality. Some turkeys last longer, while others take on freezer burn or odors from the freezer. These turkeys do not require thawing. When you’re ready to use them, heat them up in the oven according to the instructions on the packaging. Make sure whole pre-stuffed turkeys have been inspected and certified by your national government as safe for consumption. Proof of certification will be on the packaging.
