3D will be used as the "Text" for this example. Skew, rotate or distort the text to whatever your design needs. You will be making copies of the original text so you need to define it by giving it a different color. Keep duplicating the shadow text until you reach the front.

Summary: Open your graphic designing program and type in your desired "Text" using the Text box. Transform the text. Define the front. Duplicate the black text. Refine the edges to smooth out some jagged edges from the text. Add some finishing touches to the piece like some highlights or some shadows.


Certain medications can be prescribed by your dermatologist to help with particularly bad cases of acne, but should be used with caution. As with all medications, there may be unwanted side-effects in a small portion of the population.  An antibiotic pill can help kill the bacteria that may be causing your acne. Topical antibiotics applied directly to the skin can also be used. Going on a specialized form of birth control (for women) can help to regulate hormones which may be producing your bad acne. Ask your dermatologist if this seems like a good option for you to take. In particularly troublesome cases of acne, a specialized drug known as accutane can be prescribed. This is an incredibly intense retinoid treatment that has shown to almost completely remove all acne in users. However, it has the most serious side-effects of any acne-fighting drug and should be used with extreme caution. These are available at most spas, and involve the use of several different cleansers, masks, and extraction tools to reduce acne on your face. If you don’t feel comfortable with having an esthetician work on your face, visit your dermatologist for a more medically-oriented facial. A facial peel is a specialized gel containing acid that dissolves dead skin and bacteria cells. Getting these on a regular basis can greatly reduce acne over time in addition to your regular skincare regimen. This is a process by which your skin is “sanded” away to produce new skin growth. Getting microdermabrasion treatments once a week over several months is the most effective route to take, as each treatment only affects the outermost layer of skin. That’s right - use lasers to kill off your acne. Many dermatologists now offer a treatment in which they use lasers to fire strong blasts of light to kill overactive oil-producing glands beneath your skin. This process can be painful, but has been shown to cut down acne 50% on average. Unlike painful laser treatments, light treatments use milder pulses of light fired off by a specialized wand to help kill bacteria. Certain colors of light (including red, green, and blue) have shown to have a positive effect on killing acne. Ask your dermatologist if getting a light treatment is a good choice for you.

Summary: Use prescription antibiotics and medication. Get a facial. Get a facial peel. Try microdermabrasion. Get a laser treatment. Try a light treatment.


Pet doors are sold at most retail outlets of a variety of sizes to accommodate for different animals and different door spaces. Typically, they'll be relatively simple to install, made up of only a few parts and a paper of plastic template to mark the hole you'll cut through the door. Other than the pet door kit itself, to do the job properly you'll also need:  Carpenter's level Pencil or Sharpie marker Drill and half-inch drill bit Jigsaw Screwdriver Masking tape Decide where on the door you'd like the opening to be and attach the template to the door in that location. It needs to be low enough to the ground that the animal can get through it, so shorter than the pet's legs. For the most part, pet doors will be low and to the side opposite the door handle, though it depends largely on what's on the other side of the door and how you want the pet door to look. Use masking tape to attach the template to the door in the desired location, using your level to make sure the door is oriented straight and flush with the rest of the door. Use your pencil or marker to trace around the template to create the shape that you'll cut out to make room for the door. Remove the template and discard it. To get your cut started, drill completely through the door at each corner of the outline, using a half-inch drill bit. You want the hole to be big enough to maneuver your jigsaw through and cut out the space you outlined with the template. In some cases, you may have to remove the door entirely from the hinge to cut through it properly, depending on the space and the maneuverability you need. If so, you'll have to remove the hinges from the door and lay it out on some sawhorses, probably, to make the cut. Most of the time, you should be able to leave the door on the hinges. If you're right-handed, the easiest way to make the cut is usually to start in the bottom left and work counter-clockwise, going from your drill-hole to drill-hole. Insert the jigsaw in the bottom left hole and turn it on. Start making your cut across the bottom, going slowly and as smoothly as possible, from the left to the right. Don't slow down so much you start to scorch the wood. Keep it moving at a comfortable pace, but don't go so fast you bog down the motor. Let the saw do the work. Continue cutting until you get to the next hole you drilled in the bottom right corner. Turn your saw up and cut vertically, then cut back across to the left and down until you've removed the wood in the outline. With the right tool, it should be a snap and you should be left with a nice, neat, clean hole for the door. Most pet doors should come with a small ledge that you can slot through the hole, and a covering that will attach to it, sandwiching the door into the hole securely. The front side of the door frame should have a plastic flap hanging down, which will cover the hole and keep the door "closed." On the back side, the covering should have four holes around the perimeter, through which you'll attach the two sides using the screws provided. After sandwiching the frame pieces for the pet door into the hole provided, insert the screws one at a time, tightening them loosely with your fingers, before going back around to tighten them. Work your way around, tightening each screw four or five turns at a time, to clamp the two pieces together securely. Keep working until they're tight and the door won't jiggle around.

Summary: Get the necessary tools and pet door parts of the appropriate size. Trace the template onto the door. Drill a hole at each corner. Insert your jigsaw in the lower left corner. Continue cutting out the outline. Sandwich the two halves of the pet door through the hole. Use the provided screws to fix the door in the hole.


Most bottles will be covered by a label and you may want to remove that label so that your message in a bottle is not mistaken for trash.  To remove the label, place the bottle in hot water and let it sit for at least one hour. The hot water will loosen the glue on the label and make it easy for you to peel the label off. You may need to scrape some of the glue off of the bottle. Fill the inside of the bottle with warm soapy water and cover the opening of the bottle with your hand. Gently shake the bottle up and down for at least 30 seconds to remove any substances from the inside of the bottle. Pour out the soapy water and rinse the inside of the bottle with warm water. Once you have removed the label and cleaned the inside, place the bottle upside down in a strainer and allow it to dry. It will take about one hour for the inside of the bottle to completely dry, depending on the temperature in the room. You can also allow the inside of the bottle to dry overnight.  To dry the inside of the bottle more quickly, place it in the oven on low heat at 150 °F (65.6 °C) for approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Be cautious when removing the bottle from the oven and allow it to cool off before continuing with the process.   Another alternative for drying the inside of the bottle is rolling up a paper towel lengthwise and placing it inside of the bottle. Be sure to leave a portion of the paper towel on the outside of the bottle so that it can be easily removed.
Summary: Remove the label (optional). Clean the bottle. Dry the bottle.
