Oatmeal Canister Mini Gazebo
Every time an oatmeal canister gets recycled an angel gets her wings! You probably already use them to store or hold small toy and other things and now there's yet another way you can recycle an oatmeal canister. Make a miniature Gazebo as a holiday decoration, a dollhouse accessory or just to set on a shelf.
A small oatmeal canister, a section cut from a Pringles can, or something similar can be used to make the cutest mini Gazebo. Cut the bottom section of the can or canister off so that it's a little shorter than you want the finished Gazebo to be. Later, you'll put on a roof that will add a few more inches to the height.
Wrap the canister in fabric, glue it in place, and allow to dry. Use an object from around the house, like a square of cardboard, to draw windows on the gazebo. The windows can be square, octagonal or other shapes as long as all the shapes are the same. Draw around the pattern, leaving a space between each shape, and make as many windows as you want. The windows should be large and long so that, when the gazebo is finished, it's nearly all windows with just thin strips of cardboard between them. And, one of the "windows" should be cut much longer so that it becomes the door. Cut out the windows and check to see if you need to apply a little glue, here and there, to keep the decorative paper securely attached around the window cutouts.
Twist a piece of thin cardboard, like from a cereal box, into a cone shape. Tape or glue it to secure. Position the cone on top of the oatmeal canister to create a roof for the gazebo. The roof can be painted or you can use something like tiny beads to cover it.
Cut a strip of cardboard which is long enough to wrap around the oatmeal canister. Cover this strip with fabric or paper that matches or coordinates with the covering on the canister. Wrap the piece around the bottom edge of the gazebo to add interest and finish the raw edge.
There are finishing touches you can add, if you want, to make the gazebo nicer or different. To make a hanger, for instance, leave a tiny hole in the cone shape and attach a loop of cord through it. Use a leftover vinyl tile, or even the slick cover of a notebook, to make a more interesting floor.
Place a tiny Santa or other Christmas object inside the gazebo to make it an ornament. Or, set up a miniature scene inside. It can feature miniature people, a table and chairs or other minis. The gazebo is actually very beautiful yet can cost less than a buck to make!

How to ask my girlfriend to prom and make it special?
She wants a big proposal. We are senior and after graduation we will probably break up. I do want this one night to be special for her and I guess I understand why she wants a big proposal, but I don't know what to do. One of our friends asked his girlfriend to prom by having four of us guys help him and wrote prom on our chests and he was the question mark and holding flowers. She almost cried. I don't want to make my girlfriend cry, but I don't want to give her what she wants. Any ideas? I love her, but we don't love each other enough to stay together in college. I want the full college experience and that mean random sex. We have been dating for 3 years and we haven't had sex. I had sex once because I cheated, but I never told her. The night of prom she wants to have sex, so I want to make prom special for her.

Best way to shade a 10 x 10 wooden deck?
I have a small 10 x 10 wooden deck off the second floor of my home. It gets way too much sun and that makes it unusable. I was thinking of a Sunsetter retractable awning but you need more clearance about the sliding doors. I have a neighbor with a gazebo permanently bolted to his deck and he removes the top in the winter...we live in Northern Illinois. Any ideas? The more specific the better. :)
