Q: Use the same type of paper as you did for the mask body. You will be cutting both ears out at the same time. If you decide to use painted paper, make sure that you paint both sides. Rotate the paper so that the folded edge is on the side. Cut out a large triangle that is almost the same height and width as the paper. This will give you some extra-large ears. You can cut smaller ears if you prefer. Hold the ears together and cut them at the same time. Separate the ears when you are done. Your ears will have two flaps at the bottom. Take your first ear. Pull the left flap over the right flap until the ear curves. Secure the flaps with a glue stick. Repeat this step for the other ear. Take your first ear. Coat the overlapped flaps with glue. Slide the ear behind the top corner of the mask. Run your finger across the mask to seal the mask against the flaps. The ear will sort of flop forward. Repeat this step with the other ear. Take a look at you mask. If the flaps are covering part of the eye hole, trim them away with a pair of scissors.
A: Fold a sheet of red, orange, or paper in half widthwise. Cut a large triangle out. Cut a 2-inch (5.08-cenitmeter) slit in the bottom-center of each ear. Overlap the flaps to curve the ears, then secure them with glue. Glue the ears to the back of the mask. Trim away the excess flap, if necessary.

Q: Lots of sounds can be distracting at work and grab your attention. If sounds keep you from staying focused, consider wearing headphones. You might listen to music to help you stay on task or use noise canceling headphones. If you choose to listen to music, don’t play songs you want to sing along to or that pull your attention away from your tasks. Instead, stick to instrumental music without lyrics. If you listen to music at work, don’t plug your headphones in all day. You might be perceived as rude or miss some important interactions. Some people feel more accomplished when they work on several tasks at once. However, multitasking can decrease your productivity. Stopping and starting tasks can take away time and energy that could better be spent focused on one task. When completing tasks, do one at a time and don’t start another one until the first is completed. If you feel like you want to start another task, take a break instead. If you use distractions as a way to avoid something, you might have symptoms of anxiety. Maybe you have a big deadline coming up and instead of working toward it, you avoid the stress by distracting yourself. Think of your solutions and how to remain productive despite feeling anxious.  Use calm breathing to help yourself feel more in control and less anxious. If you feel anxious or nervous about something, talk back to your fears rationally. Ask yourself, “Can I complete this in the time I have? Am I blowing this out of proportion?” Keep in mind that resisting the task will make it much harder to do than if you engage with it. Try to immerse yourself in the task and you will finish it much faster and with less of a struggle.
A: Use headphones. Give up multitasking. Cope with feelings of anxiety.

Q: Use the tube to squeeze the filler into the area, making sure to fill in the deepest area by pressing the end down into it. Start at one end and gradually work your way to the other end. If you don't have a tube, use a putty knife to apply it. When adding the wood filler, you need to fill it a bit more than level with the rest of the wood. That's because the filler shrinks a bit as it dries, so it will end up flush with the wood if you overfill it. You only need to overfill it a little bit, maybe 5%. Go over the filler with a putty knife to make a smooth area. Wipe off the knife and go over the area again if the first pass didn't get it as smooth as you'd like. Keep in mind you'll be sanding it later, so it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect. Once you've got the hole filled to your satisfaction, let the filler dry completely. It will be hard to the touch when it is dry. It may take up to 8 hours on a large or deep area, though it can dry in under half an hour. Check the packaging for wood filler for specific drying times.
A: Squeeze the filler into the hole. Overfill the hole. Smooth the filler out with a putty knife. Wait for the filler to dry.

Q: If your yard is still uneven, string the line level along the 4 stakes and watch the bubble on the line level's panel. Record any high or low areas. Continue smoothing out the top soil with the rake or removing raised areas with the shovel until you reach even levels. Rake the area to spread the dirt around evenly and blend together the even, high, and low parts of your yard. After your area begins to look even, use the string level to measure the area. Continue raking until your level records an almost or fully even area. If you cannot completely level your yard using the rake, take a 2x4 board and tape a carpenter's level onto its top. Watch the reading on the carpenter's level—if the bubble dips to the right or left of the line markings, the ground is still uneven. Push the 2x4 board along the ground to lower any raised spots and fill the low spots with dirt. Check the level as you work so you can make the ground as even as possible.  Simple carpenter's levels can be purchased at most hardware or home improvement stores. Buy a 2x4 board that is approximately the same length as the area you are leveling. If you are leveling the whole yard, purchase a large 2x4 board and move it along the area you are leveling as you work. Alternatively, you could rent a water-filled lawn roller from a home improvement store to help you level your yard. If your yard is grassy and you did not have to remove any turf, then your work is done. If you did, however, then you will need to grow new grass from seedlings. Spread grass seeds over the areas you leveled, then cover them with peat moss to help the seeds retain moisture. Avoid stepping on your grass seedlings for the first few weeks to prevent trampling them underfoot.  Water your seeds daily to keep them moist, but avoid watering so much that puddles form. You could also mix grass seeds into a top dressing and spread 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) over thin or bare areas. Follow the guidelines on the package to use the right amount of seeds for the area you’re covering. New grass seeds need plenty of care and maintenance to keep healthy. If you stripped your entire lawn, lay sod on the ground and grow a new lawn. Roll out tight rows of sod over the bare ground, keeping the gaps between rows tight. Fill in the lines with soil or peat moss, then walk over the rows with a lawn roller to ensure contact between the sod roots and dirt.  Water your sod at least once a week, and mow the area whenever it grows taller than about 3.5 inches (8.9 cm).
A:
Use a line level to mark any remaining uneven areas. Use a rake to roughly level the bare areas of your yard. Use a 2x4 board to finish leveling the ground if it is bare. Grow new grass from seedlings if you only partially removed the grass. Grow new grass from sod if your lawn is bare.
