Article: Visit a garden-supply retailer or website. Find out which breed of mantis you’d like to keep as an indoor pet and/or introduce to your yard. Expect anywhere from 50 to 200 babies, or “nymphs,” to hatch from a single egg. Since mantises will not survive winter weather, wait for spring or summer to hatch them, once the weather has turned consistently warm. If you buy your egg case early, refrigerate it in a container that allows air to circulate. Then take it out four to eight weeks before you’d like it to hatch. Inspect the bag beforehand. Make sure there aren’t any holes or tears. Then place the case inside, fold the bag, and use a paper clip to seal it. Keep it near a window where it will receive direct sunlight. Do not use a ziplock bag or any other airtight seal, since the baby nymphs will need air. Expect the nymphs to emerge after three to ten weeks of consistent warm weather. Check inside the bag on a daily basis throughout this time. Once you see tiny nymphs crawling around inside, remove however many you wish to keep as indoor pets and release the rest outside.  Check the bag regularly, since mantises will likely eat each other if left too long on their own.  Nymphs are very small and delicate, so be careful how you handle them. Use a plastic spoon to transfer them from the bag to a potted plant. Insert the spoon into the bag and wait for them to climb on, then set the spoon on top of the plant’s soil.

Buy an egg case. Hatch your egg case in warm weather. Place the egg case in a paper bag. Wait for the case to hatch.

Problem: Article: Cover your work surface with newspaper, a plastic bag, or a plastic tablecloth. Next, pull on an apron or change into clothes that you don’t mind ruining. Finally, pull on a pair of plastic gloves.  If you have nothing to cover your work surface with, plan to work carefully. Have some bleach, rubbing alcohol, or acetone on hand to wipe off stains. Dye can get pungent, so open a window or turn a fan on. You don’t have to prepare the dye if you will be using a washing machine. Just skip down to the washing machine section. Read the instructions on the care tag inside your jeans to find out how you should wash them. Most jeans are machine-washable, but some must be hand-washed. In most cases, expect to use cool water and a gentle cycle.  Wash the jeans separately or with similar colors. Even though you rinsed the jeans until the water ran clear, there might still be some dye left. The dye may fade a little in the wash. If you're worried about this, turn the jeans inside-out first. You can speed the process up in the dryer, but this is not recommended because it can damage the jeans. Alternatively, dry the jeans part-way in the dryer, then hang them up to finish air-drying. Don't leave the jeans in the dryer for a full cycle. Use a half cycle instead. This could be anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes.
Summary: Protect your clothes, skin, and work surface against stains. Wash the jeans with a gentle detergent. Allow the jeans to hang dry.

The gelatin itself that you will need is a cost effective and easy to use substance, and when applied correctly, can give the appearance of scars, wounds, or burns to your skin. To make your gelatin scar, you'll need:  Gelatin applicator (popsicle stick/makeup spatula) Glycerin Gelatin (or ready-made gelatin) Hot water Makeup (scar color) Mixing cup You should have a firm idea of where your new lines of your scars will run on your body. Gelatin is very friendly when it comes to removal, so you don't have to worry about pain if you apply it to an area with hair.  For more artistic scar patterns, gently drawing guide lines with an eyebrow pencil can be very helpful. You might consider hash-mark patterns, jagged lines, or menacing x shaped scars for your look. Whether this is your face or your arm, a clean and dry surface is best for applying your fake scar. A baby wipe works wonders, but if you don't have that available, a mild soap and warm water will do the job just as well. The simplest ratio you can use for mixing up your gelatin scar solution is 1 part gelatin to 1 part hot water in your mixing cup. The problem with this sort of ratio is that the gelatin can get dried out and shrink, putting you at risk for losing your prosthetic scar. Many FX makeup artists recommend adding some glycerin to prevent your scar from drying out too fast.  Add ¼ teaspoon glycerin to your 1:1 gelatin/hot water mixture.  Stir your gelatin mixture thoroughly, otherwise you might have bubbles form in the mixture and spoil the effect. Be prepared to move quickly after preparing your gelatin; gelatin solidifies very quickly. In your mixing cup, bring enough water to surround and heat your gelatin to a piping-hot temperature. Ready made gelatin usually comes in a bottle, which you have to heat to liquefy. Once it is liquid and at a safe temperature, you can apply it to your body. It's always best to test gelatin heated this way on a safe part of your body, like on your hand or forearm, before applying a large quantity of it to your body. Using your gelatin applicator, move the gelatin over the surface of your skin in the fashion that imitates the kind of scar you want to have. Due to the fact that your gelatin will not be malleable for long, you will need to apply your scar to your body fast.  If you are trying to create a scar effect over a large portion of your body, or if you are trying to create an intricate scar pattern, you may need to prepare your gelatin in several batches. While your gelatin is in the final stages of setting, you can tap it gently to create a puckered effect. Now that your gelatin scar is fully set, add some makeup to your scar to make it look more realistic. Foundation or concealer are great for blending the edges of the false scar, but a dash of something more livid can make your scar look like a fresh wound. If you plan on an exciting night out, or if you're the type that can't keep your hands off yourself, you might want to consider using a setting spray to keep your makeup on your gelatin. A smear caused by an accidental gesture will leave your look less than believable. Gelatin applied directly to the skin can be removed easily by peeling it off. Any stubborn bits can be loosened with warm water and a mild soap. This will ensure that all makeup and gelatin have been removed.
