How to Make a Money Bouquet (9 Steps)
Lay the bills of choice face side up and roll each of the four corners around a toothpick to create a curl. Curl toward the middle of the bill. The curl becomes the outside of the rose.
Turn the bills over and crease in half lengthwise.
Pinch the bill together in the center so that it is crimped, and place a piece of floral wire over the crimp and bring it under the fold, then twist the ends of the wire together to form a stem. The bill now has a bowtie shape.
Push the center of the base of the bill, near the stem, outward with your thumb to create a cup-like shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining bills.
Hold one of the wired petals in your hand. Add two petals around the first petal, covering the open sides of the first petal. Add the following two petals back to back with the first petal, covering the openings of the previous petals. Twist all the wires together to form a long stem.
Wrap florist tape from the bottom of the rose down the wire stem.
Tape silk leaves onto the stem and wrap the entire stem with floral tape.
Repeat steps 1 through 6 to complete the bouquet with as many flowers as you desire.

How to Sell Jewelry
Have the jewelry appraised. This is especially important if you do not know much about the value of stones or are not good at telling gold and silver from plated jewelry. Knowing whether you have costume jewelry or the real deal to sell can make a big difference in what you can expect to receive for the pieces.
Set your price range. This basically means you determine the least amount you are willing to accept in payment. At the same time, set a higher amount that you believe the piece could sell for. This provides you with some room to negotiate if necessary.
Look for local outlets that will purchase the jewelry. This is a great option if you want to sell the pieces quickly. Consider pawnshops, but don’t expect to get top dollar for your items. You might also want to check with local jewelers, who may provide a better offer if the jewelry is distinctive in some way.
Check out consignment deals in your area. Many jewelers will offer to sell the item for you on a consignment basis. For their effort, the jeweler will keep a specified percentage of the final sale price. If you are not in a hurry to sell the jewelry, this may be an ideal option.
Take out an ad in the local paper. Many local newspapers provide free classified ads for items people want to sell. Keep in mind that some do have a cap on how much you can ask and still run a free ad. However, even if the ad costs a small amount, it could yield several offers in a short period of time.
Auction the jewelry online. For very little cost, you can set up an auction on any one of several different auction sites. Most allow you to set a minimum bid that you will accept for the item. When local outlets do not seem to work, offering the item in an auction allows you to offer the jewelry to a wider audience. Including a couple of digital images of the jewelry will enhance your chances of attracting attention.

How to Add Affiliate Banners to a Website
Decide which affiliate you want to add to your website. You can add several affiliates to different pages on your website, or you can simply paste one affiliate banner on one web page. Once you decide on an affiliate, or group of advertisers, it is time to add your banner.
Select the banner you want to add to your website. If you have an affiliate account with a merchant, they will most likely send you banners with the HTML or JAVA code for that banner, which you need to paste into your web pages. This HTML code draws the banner image from the affiliates' servers and displays it on your website page. You should not have to download images, or add any more files to your website server to add an affiliate to your website. A typical piece of JAVA banner code looks like this:
A'>http://www.linktobanner.com/your_tracking_code?target=_blank&mouseover=Y'></script> A typical piece of HTML code looks like this: <img'>http://www.link.to.banner/image/your_trackingcode'><img src='http://www.tqlkg.com/image-999999-999999' width='468' height='60' alt='Airaid Intake' border='0'/>
Copy the HTML or JAVA script code by placing your cursor at the beginning of the code, left click and hold down the mouse button, and then drag the cursor across the entire piece of code. It will become highlighted in blue, right click, then select 'copy' from the menu that appears on your screen.
Open the file for the web page where you would like to insert the code on your FTP server, or computer. Paste the HTML or JAVA code into the web page, where you want the affiliate banner to appear. To do this, download the HTML file of the web page to your computer, from your FTP server, using an FTP client, (or your website hosting account's FTP connection) and open it in notepad. Paste the HTML code or JAVA script code into the HTML code, where the banner should appear. If your page uses a table, create a new row and insert the code, or place it accordingly in the first row. The banner is handled just like an image by your browser.
Upload the website page to your domain using your FTP client and server in the directory it came from, and click overwrite page, of prompted to by the FTP client. View your page and make sure the banner is in the right place. If not, move the entire piece of code until the affiliate banner appears where you want it to appear.
