Use of Masking Tape

in Wiki says that:


"Masking tape is a type of pressure sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper, and an easily released pressure sensitive adhesive. It is available in a variety of widths. It is used mainly in painting, to mask off areas that should not be painted. The adhesive is the key element to its usefulness, as it allows the tape to be easily removed without leaving residue or damaging the surface to which it is applied. The tape is available in several strengths, rated on a 1–100 scale based on the strength of the adhesive. Most painting operations will require a tape in the 50 range. Household masking tape is made of an even weaker paper and lower grade adhesive."

Making Something out of Nothing

First, Let us define what TRASH is. It is unwanted or undesired waste material.
From that unwanted material we will make something that is useful to the environment or make something that is beautiful to our naked eye.



Here is a simple guide to do so:

1. Be Resourceful - Before throwing away of things like CDs, bottle caps, aluminum can, etc. you may collect, recycle, they might need that. Clean it first before storing them because they might have germs. It's better to save than to waste.
2. Be Creative - use your imagination and widen your mind. A simple thinking makes hundreds of ideas.
3. Be Innovative - being or producing something like nothing done or experienced or created before.
4. Be Patient - Time is the key of success. You cannot make thing in a nick of a seconds like magic.
