INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A bruise is formed when a fall or blow causes blood vessels to break, causing blood flow to move to the skin's surface. When you first notice a bruise, apply ice right away. Ice can help heal a bruise fast by constricting underlying blood vessels.  An ice pack, a bag of frozen vegetables, or ice in a plastic bag can serve as a cold compress. Remember, do not place an ice pack directly on the skin. Always wrap an ice pack in a cloth or towel.  Every hour, apply the cold compress for at least 20 minutes. Do this for the first 48 hours you notice a bruise. After 48 hours, transition from a cold compress to a warm one. This can increase blood flow to the area, allowing the skin to heal quicker. You can make a warm compress by running warm water over a wash cloth. Apply the compress to the bruise for 10 minutes two to three times a day. Over-the-counter pain medications might help with the healing of a bruise. Most over-the-counter pain meds reduce swelling, which can make the bruise less noticeable.  Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB) are your best options for a bruise. Take in the recommended dose at the recommended intervals.  Before taking any over the counter meds, talk to your doctor or a pharmacist to make sure they won't interact with any existing medication you're taking. Elevate the bruise as much as possible during the first 24 hours. This is especially important if you have a large bruise on an area like your leg or foot. Try to get some rest as well, avoiding exerting the body part where the bruise occurred.

SUMMARY: Apply ice for the first 48 hours. Treat with heat after 48 hours. Try over-the-counter medications. Elevate and rest the bruise.

Your indigo will spout bright, pink or purple flowers. If you want to harvest the leaves to create your own dye, the blossoms are your sign that it’s time to pluck.  This will usually occur in late summer.  You may choose not to harvest your indigo, as the plant makes a lovely ornament. If you’re making your own dyes, you can leave the flowers alone. The dye is made from the leaves. You will need at least 1 pound (0.45 kg) of leaves to create a dye. Use your fingers to pluck them, or, if you prefer, cut them with a pair of scissors or small pruning shears. You can remove them all at once or in batches.  Alternatively, you can use a sickle or garden shears to cut down the entire plant.  Your plant will likely sprout more leaves. You can pull the leaves or cut down the entire plant. After this harvest, your plants will enter a dormant period over winter.  You do not need to cover your indigo during winter. In most cases, you’ll be able to harvest the leaves 2-3 times each season. If your area isn’t tropical, then this usually means 2-3 times for each plant, after which they die.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a small drinking glass or a compass to make the circle. If you are using a standard paper towel tube, a 4-inch (10.16-centimeter) circle ill be just the right size. You can make the cone any color you want, but red or orange are the most popular colors. If you are having troubles figuring out here to cut the slit, use a ruler and a pencil to draw an X across the circle. Cut along one of the X's arms towards the middle. Overlap the two edges of the slit until the circle turns into a cone. It needs to be big enough to sit on top of the tube without falling through. Tape or glue the cone together.   A glue stick or double-sided tape will work the best here. Don't use hot glue; it is too bulky for this step. Draw a ring of hot glue along the rim of the paper towel tube. Place the cone on top and press it into the glue. Work quickly; hot glue sets up fast.   You can use regular tacky glue, but you'll have to wait for it to dry. Make sure that you are gluing the cone to the end that does not have the slits.

SUMMARY:
Trace a circle onto a sheet of cardstock or construction paper. Cut the circle out, then cut a slit into the middle. Roll the circle into a cone shape, then secure it. Hot glue the cone to the top of the toilet paper roll.
