Overwinter your dahlias indoors to prevent them from freezing and to give them a rest. Dig up the dahlias immediately after the first frost. Carefully lift the tubers with a garden fork. Trim and clean the dug-up tubers. Dry out the tubers before storing.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Although dahlias can survive outdoors in US hardiness zones 7 to 10, they will need to be brought indoors in colder areas over the winter months to prevent them from freezing.  However, many gardeners lift their dahlias for the winter even where they are hardy to inspect them and give them a rest over the winter. This rest is believed to encourage the overall health of the plant and more profuse flowering. Leave the dahlias in the ground until the first hard frost kills the leaves and stems and causes the tubers to begin to go dormant for the winter.  Once the foliage has blackened, dahlias can be trimmed to about 2 to 6 inches (5.1 to 15.2 cm) in height so that the roots are easier to remove.     It is best to wait for a day it is not raining to dig up the plants. Once you are ready to dig up the tubers, push the garden fork into the soil about 6 inches (15.2 cm) away from the flowers. Do this all the way around the plant to loosen the soil, being careful not to pierce the tubers.  Push the garden fork into the soil again and pull back on the handle to lift the tubers up out of the soil. A dirt shovel can also be used for this purpose but garden forks work better.     Be careful not to damage the outer “skin” of the tubers. Damaged outer skin opens the tuber up to disease pathogens.    Gently trim the dead stems off the tubers and break off any large clumps of soil by hand. Wash the remaining dirt off with a hose to reduce the possibility of fungal disease. This can be done by placing them on a piece of hardware cloth suspended over a garbage can or by simply spreading them out on a picnic table and running the water over the tubers until the soil is washed off. Lay out some newspapers on a flat surface within a protected area where the tubers will not be exposed to sun or wind. Set the tubers on the newspaper and let them dry for 24 hours before storing - this helps to prevent fungal infection. Alternatively, you can hang the tubers upside down by their stems for one to two weeks in a cool, arid place until...


Own up and apologize if your parents catch you smoking. Consider telling your parents about your smoking habit before they catch you. Accept whatever punishment you receive maturely.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Avoid blaming the lingering smell on your smoker friend or a smokey place you visited. Don’t lie and say you just started trying it out if you’ve been smoking regularly for the past 6 months. Lying may only make your situation and eventual punishment worse. Once you’ve been caught, be honest and own up to it. Apologize for trying to deceive your parents and for breaking any specific household rules.  Be honest with your response: “Yes, you’re right, I have been smoking for a while now. I just thought it would be a cool thing to try, but I never thought it would get this out of hand, to the point where I’d be lying to you about it. I’m sorry, Dad.” Some ex-smokers are extremely sensitive to the smell of cigarettes. If your parents used to smoke, they may notice it even more quickly. Even if your parents are non-smokers, they will eventually find out. Non-smokers have healthier, more sensitive noses, so even if you can’t smell any traces of smoke, they probably can. Whether your parents notice the smell on your breath or they get word from a neighbor who spotted you smoking in public, they’re eventually going to find out your secret. If you confess to smoking before this happens, you might avoid getting into huge trouble or putting a strain on your relationship with your parents.   Trying to hide your smoking addiction through lying and other extreme measures show that you’re practicing really unhealthy behaviors. Considering this, and the significant health risks smoking poses, your parents are right to be concerned.  Don’t be surprised if your parents want to jump in and offer you support in quitting. If you’re not ready to getting help quitting just yet, it’s okay to say so, but don’t try to push them away. If and when your parents serve up a punishment, take a deep breath to calm your emotions and accept whatever punishment they give you. Don’t try to argue, lie, or negotiate your way out of it or act aggressively out of frustration. If possible, try to get ahead of the punishment. During your apology,...


Own up to your mistakes. Explain why you're sorry. Suggest couples’ counseling. Commit to total honesty. Share your feelings with your spouse. Expect rejection.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Sincerely apologize for your wrongdoings. Feelings of guilt aside, seeing how painful this process is for your partner should be motivation enough to admit your errors. Science has show that those who are willing to offer up a mea culpa are also generally happier people. A heartfelt apology usually includes a statement that not only acknowledges your error, but also shows remorse for injuring the other person. Confessing aloud that you've wounded your spouse shows them their feelings matter too. If you're still at a loss for words in saying you're sorry, here are a few suggestions:  "I'm so sorry I lied to you. You did not deserve to be treated that way." "This was all my fault. I apologize for hurting you." "Lying was wrong and I'm sorry I violated your trust." If you’re committed to making the relationship right again, suggest a joint therapist visit. Dealing with the fallout of infidelity can be a long and messy process. A trained counselor might be able to help you and your partner put the pieces back together. It will take a long time to rebuild trust. Being completely truthful with your partner from this point forward, however, shows that you're willing to work hard to make your relationship work. You may need to agree to some terms that will help your partner to trust you again. For example, you might agree to check in more often when you are out or to allow your partner to have access to your phone, email, and social media accounts. Therapists emphasize that in order for a relationship to truly heal after an affair, it requires sharing insights and feelings with your partner. Take time to understand your motivations for seeking extramarital companionship and then share what you've learned with your spouse. Some useful questions to ask of yourself include:  "Was I feeling lonely?" "If so, why?" "Why did I choose that person over my spouse?" "What feelings did I have for my former lover?" While 70% of couples will go on to work on the relationship and try to stay together, some couples will not stay...


Pace around the airport terminal before and between flights. Take a walk or jog around a popular trail in your destination city. Visit a local park for more options. Take a local fitness class.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Use your downtime at the airport to get some exercise. You can walk around the terminal, pace up and down aisles between seating, or explore shops in major airports. Carrying your luggage with you will add resistance so that you get more of a burn!  Time yourself to see how long you walk. You can listen to music while you walk, if you like. Even if you don’t have time to sightsee on a work trip, you can still enjoy some of what the city has to offer. Go for a walk down a popular street, travel along a popular trail, or go for a jog alongside local joggers. Ask the hotel staff about good locations, or ask your business associates for a suggestion. It's also a great idea to research your options before you arrive so that you have a plan in place for where you want to go. Not only could you walk or jog at a local park, but you can find other ways to be active! You could join a game of basketball or soccer, or you could use park equipment to do an improvised workout.  For example, do pull-ups or chin-ups on monkey bars, and use slides for incline push-ups. Research local parks or reserves before you arrive, or ask hotel staff for a recommendation. You may be able to rent sports equipment from a larger park, or you could pack it in your suitcase. Some gyms or fitness studios will allow you to drop-in on their classes for a small fee. This is a great way to stick to your normal workout routine while you're on the road for work. Choose a class that you’re familiar with, or try something new!  You can check online for gyms that offer this service, or you can ask the hotel staff. There are even apps that help you find gyms in the area that allow drop-ins, such as GymFinder, OmFinder, and GymPoints.


Pace yourself.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Try 1-2 sets of 10-12 reps, or 4 sets of 6-10 reps, Give yourself 60-75 seconds to rest between each set. Make sure to lift at a steady pace: one second with your arms down, and two seconds with your arms up. You might want to try doing some article circles or shrugs in between each set.


Pack a "hospital bag" with everything you will need during your labor and hospital stay. Pack a bathrobe for after you have delivered your baby. Don't over-pack items for the baby. Bring slippers and slipper socks. Remember to pack any toiletries that you will need. Pack a set of clothes to wear out of the hospital or birthing center.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Make a checklist of essential items, and pack your bag at least a week before your baby is due. You may not have time to pack when the time comes. Pack all the clothing you will need while you are at the hospital or birthing center. Planning ahead will help ensure that you are well-prepared when the time comes. Pack a robe that breathes well and will not cling to you. Cotton and terrycloth are popular fabric choices for postpartum robes. These fabrics will keep you warm, but they won't cling to your body too tightly.  Avoid silk or satin robes. They are slippery, so they allow you to slide around while you are in bed. Hospital rooms can get cool at night, and the sheer material may not be enough to keep you warm. Avoid fleece and other heavy materials. You want to stay warm, but you don’t want to overheat. It's best not to pack anything for the baby besides an outfit for wearing on the journey home and a car seat. The hospital will take care of the rest. Choose slippers that will keep your feet warm and offer you good support. You may have to take walks during certain stages of your labor, so you want to stay warm and well-supported while walking. Avoid loose-fitting slippers that could lead you to slip or fall while you are walking.  Slipper socks can be a lifesaver while you are confined to the bed during the early stages of your labor, as well as immediately after you give birth. They will keep your feet warm without being bulky or getting in the way.  Slipper socks are also great for keeping your feet warm during your delivery, as you will have to place your feet in stirrups. Most stirrups are fitted with covers, but they can still feel cold and uncomfortable. If you wear contacts, don’t forget your glasses and your contact solution. Bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste and your hair brush. If your labor is prolonged, you may end up walking down to the cafeteria or around the hospital, so bring anything that you will need to feel presentable. Most hospitals carry pads or tampons but consider bringing...


Pack a 3-day supply of nonperishable food and water. Include clothing, shoes, and toiletries. Add shelter and safety supplies. Pack electronics and batteries. Include medicine and a first aid kit. Add cash, maps, and spare keys. Store the kit in a cool, dry place. Put important papers in a fireproof and waterproof lockbox. Rotate the items regularly.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Choose food items with a long shelf life, such as canned goods and packaged pantry items. Opt for items that don’t require refrigeration, but also those that require little cooking in case you don’t have power due to a disaster. Store 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water per person (and per pet) per day. Don’t forget formula and bottles if you have an infant, as well as pet food for any pets.  Tap water may be unsafe to drink in the event of a disaster, so be sure to include plenty of purified water in bottles or jugs. Canned soup, tuna, nuts, dried fruit, beef jerky, nut butter, protein bars, cereal, powdered milk, dry pasta, and packaged crackers are good options. Don’t forget to pack a can opener, utensils, dishes, waterproof matches, and a camp stove, if possible. At the minimum you should have a 3 day supply of food and water ready, but it’s best to store enough for 2 weeks. Pack a 3-day supply of clothing (including multiple layers), socks, and an extra pair of shoes for each member of the family. Toiletries, like soap, shampoo, feminine products, toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and deodorant should also be included. Add diapers and wipes if you have small children. Pack emergency blankets, sleeping bags, and a tent or two in case you can’t stay in your home. A multipurpose tool (like a knife/file/pliers/screwdriver combo), and a whistle would also be handy to have in your kit. Include several flashlights, an AM/FM radio, and extra batteries. You may also want to include a prepaid cell phone with a charger in case your landline or cell phone doesn’t work during a natural disaster. Prescription and over-the-counter medicines should be included in your kit. Add a basic first aid kit containing instant ice packs, bandages, antiseptic ointment, scissors, tape, a suture kit, and so on. Pack extra glasses or contact lenses and solution, and any other medical supplies  that may be needed, like a cane or hearing aids with extra batteries. You may want to include a field medicine handbook as well as a veterinary...


Pack a bug out bag. Pack iodine tablets. Pack sensibly. Do your research on likely events. Plan escape routes.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

A bug out bag is an essential piece of luggage that is packed and ready to go at a moment's notice. There are many helpful lists detailing what you should pack in your bag, depending on what type of situation you are preparing for. Things you should consider as all-around essentials include:  A set of clothes. You want to pack light layers so that you can be dressed appropriately for all weather. Instead of packing a bunch of heavy clothes (sweaters, parkas, etc), try to pack light layers like a tank top, short sleeve, and long-sleeve t-shirt. Food and food preparation. It is suggested to have at least three days of prepared food packed and ready to go in a portable bug out bag. This may include MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) or other non-perishable food items like protein bars, peanut butter, or canned vegetables. You may also want to include simple cooking preparation gear such as a collapsible pot and a utility utensil set. Water. Include a collapsible water canteen, water filter, and at least three days worth of water. This should be about 3 liters (0.8 US gal). Also include a water filter; modern water filters even come in the form of a survival straw. Portable shelter. This could be a simple sleeping bag, a bed roll, or a blanket. A tent may be more effective, but may be too heavy or large for a portable bag. First aid and/or medical kit. Pack medications that you know you will need for a pre-existing medical condition. Pack other essentials like bandages, antiseptics, and gauze. These tablets help stop the thyroid from absorbing radiation. This will be useful in the event of nuclear fallout. Your bug out bag should be packed with mobility in mind. Prepare to have to carry and walk for a long period of time. While it is best to be prepared for what happens, it is also essential that you are able to carry your bag. Some events are more likely than others. You can prepare events like house fire, or flood, nuclear fallout, or government overthrow. These are “doomsday” events that can upset your livelihood. ...


Pack a few of your child’s favorite toys. Pack a first aid kit so you are prepared for any injury. Remember to bring medications, both prescription and over-the-counter. Throw in a blanket to keep warm on the plane. Consider pacifiers to help your baby’s ears adjust to pressure changes. Include a few plastic bags to use for soiled clothes or a garbage bag.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Bring age-appropriate items like chew toys, cars, doll, or stuffed animal. Try not to bring things with many pieces, so there's less to keep track of. Make sure your kit includes bandages, gauze, antibacterial ointment, cotton swabs, tissues, alcohol wipes, thermometer, and hand sanitizer. If your infant takes medication, make sure you bring any prescriptions. Also include over-the-counter drugs like fever reducers, pain relievers, teething relief, and gas relief. Pack all of this with your first aid kit. Planes can get drafty, and you want to make sure you have something to keep you and your baby warm. Bring your child’s favorite for extra comfort. Blankets are also helpful to for wiping up spills, if a towel is not handy. Pacifiers will give your baby something to suck or chew on, and this can help with any ear pressure that may occur as the plane takes off and descends. Store your pacifiers in a clean, resealable bag so they stay clean.  If you don't use pacifiers, you can also nurse or provide a bottle during take-off and landing. You can use plastic bags to store various items, like dirty clothing or used diapers.


Pack a first-aid kit. Bring whistles. Bring a compass or portable GPS. Bring a map.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Your first-aid kit should include materials to deal with burns, cuts, and bumps.  An anti-bacterial ointment, bandages of varying sizes, instant cold packs, and gauze should all be part of your first-aid kit.  A few common medicines like aspirin or another pain reliever might also come in handy. You might want to bring a larger, more substantial first-aid kit that you leave in your tent at the campsite, as well as a portable one that you can stuff in your backpack before hitting the trail. Whistles are useful for signaling where you are when hiking with a group.  They can also be used if you get lost or encounter danger.  Blowing loudly on the whistle will let others in the area know you are lost and need help. In addition to (or instead of) the whistle, you could bring along a personal alarm.  Personal alarms for hiking and camping are portable devices that emit a loud sound when activated.  They can be used in the same way as your whistle. A compass or portable GPS are crucial for finding your way if you plan on venturing out on day hikes.  They can even be useful if you’re heading out on shorter hikes around the campground. If you’re camping and intend to climb some mountains or go on some hikes, get a map of the area.  You can usually get a map of the campsite and trails that link to it from the campsite authority.


Pack an overnight bag, if you are having inpatient surgery. Follow your doctor's pre-surgery eating instructions. Take any medications you have been told to take. Clean your body before the surgery. Wear appropriate clothes to the appointment. Show up to your appointment on time and with proper identification.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The hospital should give you some guidelines about what to bring. However, typically you will want to bring a change of clothes, reading materials, any medications you take regularly, and your cellphone and charger.  You should also bring personal toiletry items, such as your toothbrush and a brush or comb. Bear ward restrictions in mind. For example, some day-wards do not recommend you bring your mobile phone or other electrical equipment, as the increased foot-traffic means there's a higher chance of them getting stolen. In many cases, you will be asked to stop eating and drinking at a specific time before your surgery. For instance, if you are having surgery in the morning, you will be told to stop eating and drinking the night before. Be sure to follow these instructions so that you don't have to go to the bathroom during the surgery. In some cases you will also be asked to do an enema at home before the surgery. This ensures that the bowels are clear while you are being operated on. For some procedures you will be told to take medication at a set time before the surgery. For instance, with some procedures you will be asked to take a laxative the day before the surgery. Whatever the medication, follow your doctor's instructions for how much and when to take it. If you take prescription medications regularly, talk to your doctor about whether and when you should take them before your operation. Consider taking a shower the night before going into hospital. Also avoid applying lotions, oils, or deodorant before the surgery, as they can interfere with the monitor pads stuck to you. You may also be asked to shave certain parts of your body before surgery but this depends on the type of surgery you are having. It's a good idea to wear comfortable, loose clothes to your surgical appointment. While you will take your clothes off for the surgery, you will need to put them on after the surgery and having loose clothes will allow for any swelling or bandaging that occurs during the surgery.  Also avoid wearing...


Pack any books and binders you need to take to school first. Add your planner, notebooks, folders, and homework next. Include writing implements and other supplies you may need. Add items for electives or extracurricular activities. Pack a lunch if you don't buy yours at school.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Packing these heavy items first will keep them from squashing any lighter items. Arrange any books and binders vertically in your backpack against the part that touches your back, or horizontally if you have any other type of bag.  If you don't need a certain book or binder you can leave it at home or take it to school and store it in your locker. You may want to pack the book or binders in the order that you will need them for the day. Make sure you don’t forget any. If you have loose papers, like homework or notes, it’s best to store them in a binder or folder so they don’t get wrinkled or ripped. Include your planner as well so that you can make notes or adjustments to it throughout the day. Stack these items next to your books, making sure to distribute the weight evenly throughout the backpack or bag. It’s a good idea to pack pencils, erasers, pens, highlighters and sticky notes for school. You may also want a calculator, protractor, ruler, pencil sharpener, and a mini stapler. Depending on your age and classes, you could also include tape, glue, crayons, colored pencils, and marker pens. To keep these kinds of supplies organized, consider arranging them in a pencil case or another container. Depending on your schedule, you may need gym clothes in addition to a sports uniform or equipment (like soccer cleats or football pads). If they fit, you can store these items in your backpack so you don’t have to carry two bags.  You may also need a helmet if you ride a bike, skateboard, or scooter to school. Though an instrument isn’t likely to fit in your school bag, set the case near your bag so you don’t forget it! Add some snacks, and a water bottle. If you take your lunch to school, you can store it in your bag as well. It’s a good idea to put food items in a separate lunch box or bag to keep them from being spoiled. You may also want to add a few small snacks, like a granola bar or bag of cut veggies, in case you get hungry. It’s also a great idea to include a reusable water bottle to keep you hydrated...


Pack cigarettes before opening them. Turn the pack upside down in your hand. Slap the top of the pack into your palm. Open the pack of cigarettes and remove one.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

When you buy a pack of cigarettes, whatever variety, the pack will have been sitting right-side-up on the shelf for quite a while, and the tobacco will have loosened up some in the paper. Many smokers will pack the tobacco back down toward the filter while the cigarettes are still tight in the package, making each one somewhat easier to light and draw from.  While it's not necessary to pack cigarettes, it is true that cigarettes from packs that haven't been packed have a tendency to "kick the cherry," or lose the lit-end when the ash is tapped off. It's also true that the tobacco will recess some, back into the cigarette, leaving a little empty tab of paper on the end of each one, which is somewhat easier to light than a cigarette with tobacco flush with the end. Pinch the between your thumb and middle finger in your dominant hand, the top of the pack pointed down toward the floor. Hold the pack in place with your pointer-finger on top. Hold your other hand open flat, your palm pointed up.  You don't have to remove the plastic wrap from the outside of the pack first, and in fact it's better if you don't. You don't have to worry about the top of the box flapping open while you're doing it. Soft-packs and hard-packs are done in exactly the same way, as are filtered cigarettes and unfiltered, but it's a good idea to handle soft-packs a bit more gently, since there's nothing separating your finger from the cigarette but a thin piece of paper. To pack the cigarettes, bring the top of the pack down firmly into your open palm, slapping it. Hold the pack loose enough so you're not bruising your palm, just letting the momentum of the swing carry the pack into your palm. Bring it back up and repeat this process about 10 times, depending on how packed you like your cigarettes. More packing will recess the tobacco farther into the paper, resulting in more empty space at the tip of the cigarette and denser tobacco, making the draw somewhat more snug. If you don't like how far you've packed the tobacco, you can return the...


Pack dive toys to play with in the pool. Pick out a book to read next to the pool, beach, or lake. Bring headphones or a speaker to play music. Include a float to lounge on in the water. Add any other games or toys you think you might need. Pack the items you'll need first on top.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you’ll be swimming in a pool just for fun, bring toys in your bag that you can use to entertain yourself. Dive toys are fun to use to practice swimming to the bottom of the pool, and they come in lots of different shapes and sizes.  Choose dive sticks that are shaped like thick markers with a weight that pulls them to the bottom of the pool. If you don’t want to buy dive toys, throw pennies into the bottom of the pool to try to retrieve. Make sure you’re allowed to use dive toys at the pool where you’re swimming. Reading is a great activity to do when you need a break from swimming. Pack a book or magazine in your bag to keep you entertained.  While hopefully it won’t happen, it’s possible that your books might get wet being next to the pool, so bring ones that you don’t mind getting splashed on a little. You might bring a journal and pen to write instead of reading. Attach the headphones to your phone or portable music player to listen to the music by yourself, or sync the music with portable speakers so everyone can hear music. Remember that you’ll be near water, so choose electronics that can withstand drops of water.  Bring headphones to listen to music while you lay by a public pool, or bring a small speaker to listen to music at the beach. Be aware of others around you and don’t play music loudly if you’re in a public place. This is a great thing to pack if you’re going to hang out at a friend’s pool. Bring a small float that will be easy to blow up, deflating it once you’re done to pack it back in your bag.  Some public pools don’t allow floats, so be sure to ask before bringing one. Floats can be dangerous to use in the ocean or lake if the water is rough, so use caution. If you’re at a long swim meet, you might want to bring a deck of cards or other small game to play while you’re waiting. If you’re spending time at the pool, you might bring pool toys, noodles, or fins. Find any other small activities you might like to do and pack them in your bag if desired.  Avoid bringing more than one or two...


Pack everything you’ll need to camp out in. Bring a water-filtration system. Bring enough food for your trip and utensils to eat it with. Carry multiple navigation tools in your pack. Pack a headlamp and extra batteries. Remember to pack sun protection. Pack bug spray if you're backpacking in warm weather. Bring extra clothes. Put together a first aid kit

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

That includes a lightweight tent and sleeping bag, and a sleeping pad. Look online or at your local sporting goods store for camping gear specifically designed for backpacking. You could use a water pump, iodine tablets, or a water bottle with a built-in filtration system to purify water on your trip. Make sure you read the instructions for your system carefully and check its function before heading out into the wild. Choose a system that filters out bacteria and living organisms as well as sediment. Calculate how many meals you’ll need on your trip and plan accordingly. Pack lightweight foods that are healthy and contain a lot of protein, like energy bars, trail mix, meat jerky, and dehydrated foods. Avoid packing foods that are bulky or expire quickly. Don’t forget to bring supplies to start a fire with. Pack a lighter and some matches in a waterproof bag or container so you can start a fire if you’re camping out for the night. Make sure you have a backup on your trip in case your GPS stops working. Pack a compass, a map of the area you'll be traveling through, and printed copies of any trail maps you find online for specific trails you'll be taking. For a backpacking trip, a bright headlamp is the lightest, most practical option. If you are willing to carry a bit of extra weight, you can also bring a handheld flashlight, or even a small lantern for greater visibility in the dark. Pack the extra batteries in a waterproof bag or container to keep them safe from the rain. Pack sunscreen that's at least SPF 50 and a hat to wear while you’re backpacking, regardless of what season you'll be traveling in (you can still burn in the winter). Reapply sunscreen several times throughout the day to avoid getting burnt. You should also pack sunglasses to shield your eyes from the sun. You can also bring bug repellant bracelets so you don't have to reapply bug spray as frequently. Keep the spray near the top of your bag or in one of the side pockets so it's easy to access. Pack an extra top and bottoms so you have dry...


Pack eye care supplies if you need them. Add deodorant or perfume. Make sure to include feminine products. Remember hair ties and hair brushes. Pack any makeup you use. Bring travel-sized products.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you wear contacts or glasses, pack supplies for these items. You should have contact lens solution, a contact case, and a few spare contacts if you wear contacts. If you wear glasses, keep glasses cleaner on hand as well as microfiber lens wipers. It's a good idea to have anti-bacterial hand gel on hand so you can use this to sanitize your hands if you need to change your contacts when you're not near a sink. If you like to smell nice, a small bottle of perfume, body spray, or deodorant can be great. You can use these products to freshen up between classes. It's a good idea to keep your perfume in a Ziploc bag. This will minimize damage in the event your perfume leaks. You can buy travel sized containers of perfume and body spray at department stores. These may fit better in a high school survival kit. If you have your period at school, you want to be prepared. Always have tampons, pads, or panty liners packed in your survival kit.  In the event of a leak, it's a good idea to have a spare pair of underwear. You can roll up your underwear and keep them in a discrete pocket of your survival kit or somewhere in your backpack. You also may want to carry painkillers if you end up with menstrual cramps at school. You may need hair ties for gym class. You may also simply want to redo your hair during lunch or between classes. Pack a hairbrush in your survival kit, as well as a few hair ties. If you wear makeup, you may need to touch it up at some point during school. Keep makeup in a small, sealable container and put this in your survival kit.  You should also pack any brushes or other instruments you use to apply makeup. Make sure to close containers of things like lipstick, lipgloss, and foundation carefully. You do not want such items to spill in your kit. If your lips get dry, add chapstick as well. Add a compact mirror as well as you can use that while touching up your makeup. You never know when you may want to freshen up your breath or touch up your hair. Buy travel-sized versions of toiletries you...


Pack for survival. Get a room in the lower levels of the hotel. Learn your escape routes when you arrive at the hotel. Check some essential features of the hallway and of your room. Put your room keys and flashlight in your shoes before you go to bed.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Bring a flashlight and potentially a battery-operated smoke detector. These may seem like overkill, but they don't cost much or take up much room in your luggage. Organize, don't agonize. The flashlight could save your life if you have to quickly navigate a dark hallway or stairwell, and the smoke detector can alert you to fires while you're sleeping.  Check the batteries on each of these before you leave. In most parts of the world, smoke detectors are mandatory in hotel rooms, but when was the last time you tested one?  If you don't bring a smoke detector with you, at least make sure the one in your room works. If a fire starts, you'll want to get out of the building as quickly as possible. This can be difficult if your room is in the upper floors of a high-rise hotel. When you make your reservations, ask for a room on the ground floor or close to it. If you're not able to do this in the reservation process, request it when you check in. If you're in an earthquake area, taking this measure could be helpful. If a fire started in your home, you'd probably know the best way to get out and you'd probably be able to find your way there even in complete darkness. If you can't do this in your hotel, you're risking your life.  Ask for a map of the hotel at the front desk.  If you can't get a map at the front desk, you may be able to find one on the inside of your room's door, depending on where you're traveling. As soon as you get to your room, study the map and find the nearest exit.  Then find the alternate exits.  Walk the potential escape routes from your room all the way to the outside of the building, counting the number of doors between your room and the exits and noting any unusual features that may help you find your way.  Check for potential hazards or obstructions along the way and try to make sure the exit doors open.  Don't plan on using the elevator. If a blaze were to suddenly erupt, you can't leisurely test certain features of the building. Doing this ahead of time saves you time and reduces your...


Pack healthy snacks to munch on throughout the day. Opt for the healthier option for lunch or dinner. Reduce your artificial sugar intake. Bake desserts with natural ingredients and sweeteners. Cook at least one meal a day. Drink water instead of soda.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you are constantly on the go, it can help to prepare some healthy snacks so you can reach for them easily and quickly. Having healthy snacks on hand means you will less tempted to get fast food to go or opt for a prepackaged meal.  Cut up fruit like apples, pears, and oranges the night before and pack them in plastic bags or tupperware. Fruit makes a great, easy snack that is also good for you. Nuts like almonds and cashews are a great source of protein that won’t make you sleepy or drowsy throughout the day. Put a handful of almonds or cashews in a plastic bag and stash them in your purse or bag so they are easy to get to when you find yourself craving a snack. If you tend to crave something crunchy, go for homemade popcorn, tossed with sesame oil and sesame seeds, for a healthier alternative to potato chips. Rather than overhaul your entire diet, focus on choosing the healthier option for at least one meal a day. Choose a salad and a smoothie over a burger and fries for lunch or go for a healthy stir fry with vegetables over steak and potatoes at dinner. Try to be consistent about going for a healthy option for at least one meal a day to reduce your calorie intake and stay health conscious. Artificial sugars can be found in many prepackaged foods, such as baked goods, candy, sauces, and dips. Many artificial sweeteners for coffee and tea can also lead to health issues.  If possible, substitute artificial sugar in your meals with natural sugars like maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar. These natural sweeteners contain minerals and nutrients that are good for you and can taste as good or better than artificial sugars. Rather than have a prepackaged cookie or candy, have a piece of dark chocolate. Dark chocolate contains antioxidants and contains less sugar than milk chocolate or other sweets. Try to integrate natural sweeteners like honey, agave, and maple syrup into your baking. This will help you to avoid processed and artificial sugars and ensure your baked goods are healthy alternatives to store bought...


Pack in a serving of vegetables. Add antioxidant-rich fruits. Add in high fiber oats. Include a source of healthy fats. Mix your smoothie with orange juice. Add whey protein powder.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

One food group that's great for smoothies and that's great for your cholesterol is vegetables.  They're high in fiber and a variety of antioxidants.   Diets high in fiber, particularly soluble fiber, are linked to lower total and LDL cholesterol levels. Soluble fiber also helps reduce the absorption of cholesterol into the bloodstream.  Try to fit in one serving of vegetables in your smoothies.  That'll be 1 cup or about 2 cups of those leafy greens.  The best vegetables to use to help lower your cholesterol include:  dark greens (such as spinach, kale or swiss chard), pumpkin, and cucumbers.  Although you may not think vegetables would go well in a smoothie, when mixed with fruit, their flavor is masked. Fruits are a common ingredient for smoothies.  Their natural sweetness, nutrients and low calorie level help keep smoothies healthy and good for your cholesterol.   Fruits are not only naturally low in calories, but they're also high in fiber and many antioxidants that can help lower cholesterol. Eating fruit skin increases your intake of pectin, a type of soluble fiber.  Regardless of what type of fruit you add to your smoothie, make sure to keep your portion sizes in check.  Add in 1 small piece or a 1/2 cup of chopped fruit.  Good fruit choices include: blueberries, apples, grapes, strawberries, avocados and citrus fruits. Adding oats to your diet is a well known way to lower and manage your cholesterol.  Outside of just eating oatmeal, you can actually add oats to smoothies as well.  The reason why oats are so great at lowering your cholesterol, is because they're high in soluble fiber.  This type of fiber (also found in kidney beans, barley and prunes) specifically reduces your LDL (or that bad cholesterol).  Since oats are considered a whole grain, they should be portioned as such.  When eating oats or adding them to smoothies, measure out about 1/2 cup of dry oats or 2 oz total.  At the supermarket there are a variety of oatmeal types - rolled oats, steel cut oats or instant oats.  Although coming...


Pack in advance to keep from panicking the night before your trip. Spread out everything you are planning to bring onto your floor. Limit yourself to twenty pounds, or what you can fit into a 9 x 22 x 14 bag if you’re planning to pack everything into a carry-on. Learn how to pack clothing items efficiently.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

This will give you enough time to make trips to the store if you are running low on something. Having all the items you’re packing in front of you visually may even help you make some eliminations throughout the week, saving valuable room in your suitcase.  Making a check list a week in advance will ensure you don’t forget anything valuable, as you can add to the list throughout the week. Take note of the items you use on a daily basis, chances are these are what you’ll also need on your trip. Consider talking to friends or acquaintances who have been to the place you’re visiting and see if they have any recommendations for what to bring.  An insider’s view is usually more helpful than Internet research or a guidebook. Not only is it more personalized, but they will be able to answer your specific questions. Analyze each item individually to determine the likelihood of using it during your two-week trip, and whether or not it’s something you can easily buy once you reach your destination, such as toiletries.  Decide if the amount you’ll use the item justifies its weight in your bag. Do ample research on the destination so you’re fully aware of what you will and won’t have access to once you arrive.  Think in terms of items you can get by without, rather than what would be convenient on your trip. If it would be handy to have your trusty coffee press from home, but you will have easy access to inexpensive coffee on every corner, this is probably something you should leave behind. Use lightweight luggage, like a backpack, so more weight can be devoted to the contents. But although luggage with wheels are usually made of heavier material, they do lighten the load on your back. Remember hard luggage helps protect valuables inside, while soft materials are more lightweight and easily conform to fit in the luggage bin, trunk of the car, etc. Not only will your luggage fit into the overhead bin of an airplane, but it won’t weigh you down. When you do reach your destination, you’ll enjoy mobility and spontaneity....


Pack plenty of protein sources into your diet. Fill up on fruits and veggies to cut your calories. Don't skip healthy complex carbs. Cut out sweets and processed foods. Drink loads of water

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Protein helps build muscle, but it's important to choose higher-fat options. These poultry, fish, legumes, nuts, eggs, and full-fat dairy products. Go for these instead of processed meats, like bacon.  The right amount of protein per day depends on your age, sex, and activity level. In general, go for at least 5 1⁄2 to 6 1⁄2 oz (160 to 180 g) of per day. For example, have 4 oz (110 g) of grilled chicken over a salad for lunch, and 3 ounces (85 g) of salmon for dinner.  If you're highly active, you might need even more daily protein. Learn more about your specific requirements at https://www.choosemyplate.gov. Fruits and veggies are packed with essential nutrients, and they can fill you up without adding extra calories. Your required amount depends on your age, sex, and activity level. In general, go for about 2  c (470 mL) of fruits and 3  c (710 mL) of veggies per day. When you're hungry between meals, grab a healthy snack, like a banana, apple, or carrot sticks. Grains are rich in fiber and fuel your muscles, so go for brown rice, quinoa, and whole grain breads, pastas, and cereals. Try to consume around 6 to 8 oz (170 to 230 g) of grains per day; half that amount should be whole grains. You might have heard that you need to cut carbs to lose weight. Consider a ketogenic diet, at least temporarily, if you need to lose fat. If you're not following a ketogenic diet, healthy grains are an important part of your diet, and they provide your muscles with the resources needed to grow. Just don't overeat them. You won't see a 6 pack any time soon if you get most of your calories from processed foods, sweets, and fast food. If you need to satisfy your sweet tooth, swap pastries, ice cream, and other unhealthy snacks for peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and fruit. Additionally, steer clear of unhealthy snacks, like chips, and processed meats, such as deli meats and bacon. instead of high-calorie drinks. Staying hydrated is important for your overall health, especially if you've started exercising more often. Furthermore,...


Pack properly. Stay clean. Consider purchasing food right before serving it. Grill carefully.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

How you pack the food is an important part of preventing the spread of contaminants from one food to another.  Pack all meats separately from ready-to-eat foods. Juices from the meat could spoil food like cheese and vegetables, so be sure to wrap securely. Pack dairy produce on its own, inside a cooler. When you bring food back home, discard any food that has come into contact with other food; this includes shared dishes that have had forks and the like stuck into them, as you have no idea what guests had on their utensils. Anytime you touch raw meat clean your hands before touching food, both for preparation and for serving. Clean them again after touching the food.  Use moist towelettes thoroughly to make sure that you don't transmit germs or bacteria onto other foods or utensils. Provide plenty of spare towelettes and antibacterial cleanser for guests to use too––place in an obvious spot. Wipe down everything before you serve. Use only clean utensils for serving and eating with. This doesn't mean buying it from the pricey vendors; it means stopping at the nearest supermarket before you enter the tailgate party, stocking up and placing the foods into the appropriate containers at the supermarket carpark. If you can reduce the travel time for the food, so much the better.  Avoid purchasing more than what will be eaten––that way, there will be no temptation to hoard leftovers and eat them later, when they have turned bad. Take your cooler bag into the supermarket. Place food items straight into it from the refrigerator shelf, then open it at the cashier for purchase and ask that it be repacked straight back into the cooler. When grilling, only remove the amount of meat that can fit on the grill. Leave the rest in the cooler until it's time to cook the next round. After grilling food, serve immediately. Anything that is not eaten straight away should be kept hot or placed into a cooler.  Grilled food left outside for more than hour should be discarded. Refer back to the section above for the heating...


Pack quality workout clothes. Bring gym shoes. Throw in a few hair ties or sweatbands. Pack all the essential toiletries. Keep a towel with you. Bring a water bottle. Throw in some snacks. Don't forget the electronics. Remember the sanitizer. Don't overlook first aid.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Two key items you must have in your gym bag are a workout shirt and bottom. Make sure the fabric is breathable and well-fitted. Think about what you are going to be doing that day; you wouldn't want your low-hanging pants to slip down when you're doing a squat or your shirt to fall over your face when you're bending over in yoga. Go for quality and usefulness over fashion.  Decide if you would like to wear tank tops or short sleeve shirts, along with workout shorts, tights, or pants. It doesn't matter as long as you keep in mind your fitness regiment. For colder months, pack a jacket and track pants. This is especially essential if you plan on walking out of the gym still wearing your gym clothes. It's a good idea to pack extra underwear, especially if you are going straight to the office. You don't want to put on your nice, clean work clothes over sweaty underwear.  Ladies, you might want to pack a sports bra if you're planning on wearing your normal bra to the gym. Good shoes are essential for working out. Most gym goers can wear trainers or running shoes. If you are an advanced weight lifter, you may want lifting shoes instead. Regardless of the shoes you wear, make sure you pack them. Trying to run on the treadmill in your work heels or loafers would probably not work very well.  Don't forget the socks. Working out without socks would be gross and painful. Make sure to always have a pair of socks in your bag, even if you have worn a pair to the gym. You never know when your socks are going to slide down in your shoes, get wet, or have something else happen to them. Socks are essential items in your gym bag.  Make sure to bring flip-flops. Flip-flops are a must have if you are showering at the gym after your workout. You should never place your bare feet on the shower floor; instead, wear flip-flops to protect your feet from bacteria and fungi. For women, hair ties are necessary for keeping your hair pulled back and out of your face during workouts. For men or women with short hair, headbands or sweatbands...


Pack tallest, largest, and heaviest items first. Pack smaller, lighter objects last. Pack your breakables. Double-check you've remembered everything.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Your binder, folders, notebooks, and whatever textbooks you have should go against your back in your bag's main compartment. Your day planner and your pen and pencil case (if applicable) should go toward the outside of your bag.   If you have other compartments, sometimes there are places especially designed for these items, so utilize those to save space and to help distribute the weight evenly.  Gym clothes could be packed with these items, but it's better to use a separate, drawstring bag because gym clothes will make your bag smell unfavorably. These include your lunch, your water bottle, your calculator, and any other items that are liable to be damaged or crushed: these should go on top of the contents of your bag's main compartment or in its own, separate compartment.   Sometimes a backpack has a sleeve for your water bottle. If your lunch doesn't fit with extra room, it's better to carry it than risk having to eat bruised or smushed food. Alternatively, many schools have cafeterias, so you could always purchase your meal there. Often a backpack will have a compartment for your cellphone and headphones/earbuds. Have you remembered to pack all that you need? Here are a few questions to jog your memory:   Do you need to pack athletic/spare clothes for gym or an extracurricular activity? If so, consider a drawstring bag for these. Did you pack a big enough lunch if you're staying late at school? Did you pack your important school papers, such as your class schedule, immunization form, or any miscellaneous permission forms? Do you want to bring a ball or frisbee for lunch or after school? What's the weather going to be like? Do you need to bring an umbrella or a rain jacket? Do you know what time your bus arrives at your stop? Do you have some extra money in case you need to call a cab?


Pack the calamari in a jar. Add the pickling spices and vinegar. Top with the oil. Refrigerate for one day to one week. Serve cold. Store chilled.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Transfer the cooked squid rings and tentacles to your prepared jar. The jar should be anywhere from halfway to three-quarters full. Do not pack the jar to the very top, however, since there will not be enough room for the spices and liquid if you do so.    Place the remaining three bay leaves, black peppercorns, garlic, and oregano or rosemary in the jar. Pour the white vinegar on top.  While not strictly essential, you may want to toss the spices and squid gently inside the jar to spread the seasonings more evenly.     Pour enough vinegar over the contents of the jar to cover the squid completely. Make sure that there is at least 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.75 cm) of empty headspace at the top of the jar when finished, however.     White vinegar is used in this recipe, but you can experiment some with the pickling liquid. For instance, try white wine or white wine vinegar. The liquid you use must be acidic, though, so keep that in mind before you choose to experiment with another option.    Slowly pour the oil on top of the contents in the jar. You should have a layer of oil that is roughly 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick.  The oil should float on top of the vinegar. It serves as another barrier against air and other contaminants.     Do not fill the jar to its brim. Always leave at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6 to 1.25 cm) of empty headspace at the top of the jar, just in case the contents expand during refrigeration.     After adding the oil, place the lid on the jar. Make sure that the seal on the lid is secure and airtight.    Place the sealed jar in your refrigerator and keep it there for a minimum of one day. For best results, allow the jar to sit in the refrigerator for a full week.  During this time, the pickling spices will marinate and flavor the calamari. The vinegar and remaining salt will be able to pickle the squid during this time, as well.     The longer you let the calamari rest, the stronger the flavor will be.    To serve the pickled calamari, remove it from the marinade and serve it immediately. Pickled...


Pack the obvious things you need. Know where you are going. Bring an outfit for every day you are there. Visiting family? Bring formal wear. Make a checklist for everything you need, so you don't forget anything when you leave.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

(Toothbrush, comb...etc.) Always know how the weather will be in the place where you will be going. Pack based on the activities that you are going to be doing. If it is a sunny beach, pack sunblock. If it is a snowy mountain, pack snow goggles. (etc.) (And extras just in case) Bring some photos that probably nobody else has of family. No matter the occasion, you never know who you are going to meet or end up doing.


Pack travel-sized toiletries for essential items. Gather your luggage and everything you want to pack in 1 place. Roll your clothes to save space. Download electronic versions of books and magazines to save space. Keep a small bag of essential items at hand if you are flying.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

For the most part, you should be able to get toiletries at your destination, either from the hotel or from a local drugstore. But if you have things from home you want to bring (or just to save money by not having to buy anything when you arrive) transfer your lotions and shampoos and liquids into travel-sized containers. If you are flying and bringing a carry on bag, make sure to check the TSA regulations for liquids. For a 5 day vacation, you should easily be able to pack all your clothes and necessities in 1 bag or suitcase. Getting everything into the same space will help you stay organized as you put things into your bag. If you are packing for multiple people, try keeping luggage and piles of clothing/toiletries separated so you don't get confused and misplace something. Tightly rolling clothes helps prevent wrinkles and saves space in your luggage! Follow this technique: lay the item of clothing flat, then fold the bottom 2 inches (5.1 cm) of the item inside out (this will create an envelope/pocket). From the opposite end of the fold, roll the item tightly until you get to the pocket. Then, fold one side of the pocket over the roll to secure it.  You can also pack socks and underclothes inside of shoes to save space. Pack shoes, toiletries, and other heavy items at the bottom of your bag. This will keep them from wrinkling or damaging your clothes. If you have an iPad, Kindle, or something similar, you can download books and magazines to read without taking up essential room in your luggage. A lot of magazine subscriptions offer free electronic access, too, so check into that option if you already subscribe to a magazine! If you are going to bring a physical book with you, consider taking one you wouldn't mind leaving behind. This will at least save you some room on the way back (or give you space for a souvenir or 2). This will save you time and energy when you get on the plane. Keep a small bag inside your carry on that contains what you want for your flight (a book, magazine, pen, paper, headphones,...


Pack your charcoals together for strong, direct heat. Add coals regularly to keep your grill burning hot. Keep the top and bottom vents open to get the hottest temperature. Empty the ash frequently. Adding hardwood charcoal for added flavor and greater heat.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

As you cook, use your tongs to keep the charcoals together, as solitary briquettes will quickly lose heat and do little to keep your fire going. You do not want them so well packed that they can't get air, but you also don't want them separated like many little islands.There are two styles of charcoal placement, depending on how you plan to cook:   Even Grilling: Coat the entire bottom surface of the grill with two layers of charcoal. This allows the whole grill to reach a consistent, even temperature. If you're cooking food quickly and don't need any indirect heat (for large, slow-cooking cuts of meat), this is the way to go.  Two-Zone Grilling: Shuffle all of the charcoals into an even pile on half of the grill, leaving the other half bare. This lets you cook foods quickly, directly over the charcoals, but also allows you to cook slower cuts by indirect heat on the opposite side of the grill. You can also keep already cooked food warm, on the empty side of the grill, or smoke them with grill top on. Don't wait until you're almost out of briquets to add more. Instead, add 5-10 pieces of charcoal when you have roughly half of your charcoals remaining, usually every 30 minutes. Wait 5-10 minutes while the new charcoal ignites and begins to get a white/gray coat on the outside before you resume cooking. If you feel like you need more coals, add them. More coals mean a hotter burning grill. Add slowly, putting on 5-6 at a time, until your grill reaches your desired heat. The more air you get to the fire, the hotter it will cook, so opening the vents is key to a hot, strong burning charcoal fire. The more oxygen you give to the flames. the hotter your grill will be. If you need to control the temperature, close one or both of the vents partially. Closing both of them at once can suffocate your fire and extinguish it. Closing the upper vent is also useful for smoking, as it lowers the temperature of the fire and traps the smoke in the grill around your food. There is a small lever that lets you open and close the...


Pack your passport and carry it with you. Get a customs form from staff on the plane or boat. Fill the form out with your basic personal and travel information. Estimate the value of all the items you need to declare. Write a list of declared items on the back of the form.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

A valid passport is essential for gaining entry to the U.S. Even U.S. residents need it. You will have to refer to it to fill out the customs form, so have it accessible. Avoid placing it in checked luggage. Don’t try getting through customs without your passport. CBP won’t let you into the country. If you lose your passport while traveling, go to the nearest embassy or consulate as soon as possible. They can help you get a new one. Before you disembark, the stewards and stewardesses will begin handing out the forms. Both U.S. and foreign citizens are required to fill out this document, so make sure you get one. You only have to fill out 1 form per family.  The form is a small, rectangular card, usually colored blue. The words “customs declaration” will be printed at the top. If you don’t get one, ask the flight staff about it. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) now has Automated Passport Control (APC) booths at many major airports. U.S., Canadian, and international travelers with a visa waiver can use the booths without having to fill out a customs form. Write your information into the space on the form legibly with a dark pen. You will need to provide information like your name, country of residence, passport number, flight number, and countries you visited. Refer to your passport and travel ticket to help you complete the form.  Make sure the information you provide is accurate. Any mistakes could slow down the customs process. Customs forms are only required for travelers arriving by boat and plane. If you travel by land, border patrol officers will still check your bags and ask you a few questions. The form will ask you a few yes or no questions about what items you’re transporting. Customs officials need to know if you’re bringing in fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, large quantities of money, or have been near livestock. The form will also instruct you to total up the commercial value of all merchandise you bought or plan on leaving in the U.S.  If you’re a U.S. citizen, estimate the total value of...


Paint French tips

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

. A French manicure consists of natural-colored pink or peach polish topped off with bright white tips. It is an extremely sophisticated look, which can be achieved at home with a little practice.  Contrary to what you might think, the white tip is actually painted on first, using a special white polish provided in most home manicure kits. These kits may also provide adhesive strips which you can apply to your nails in order to get a perfectly straight white line across the tips. Otherwise you will need a very steady hand! Once you have done the tips and they have completely dried, you can apply the natural colored polish over the white polish, before finishing your nails off with a clear top coat.


Paint a background. Start your work. Apply the high and low lights.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Some paintings require a background color. This will be different depending on your subject matter. If you need one, you have to start off with this. Using a large brush, paint your background color across the canvas. Make sure this is before you start to apply your other paints or sketch out your image. Now that you primed your canvas , you have your brushes, and you have chosen your paints, you can start work on your canvas. You should already have an idea of what you want to paint since you have chosen the colors that you need. At this point, you can sketch the outline of what you want to paint across the surface of your canvas before you start to paint. If you are working on a more abstract, free slowing work, you can just begin painting on the canvas. If you are working on a subject, you need to start with the low and highlights. Apply the darkest and lightest colors that you are going to use onto the sketch you made. From here, you can build up the middle ground shades on top of them, blending them as you go. If you are using oil paints, make sure you clean your brushes with turpentine between uses. If not, you will get paint build up and it will ruin your brushes. If you are using acrylics or watercolors, rinsing them out in water is fine.


Paint a landscape scene onto the cardboard if you enjoy creating realistic paintings. Decorate the cardboard with fingerprints if you have young kids. Create a seascape scene on the cardboard if you enjoy painting with marine colours. Press stamps onto the cardboard to create a fun pattern.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Landscapes are really fun to paint because there are so many different colour options. Consider whether you want to paint a sunset, a sunny day, or a stormy day. Draw your picture onto the cardboard and then paint over it with acrylic or oil paints.  If you need inspiration, find a landscape photo you like and try to recreate it. Include interesting animals, people, or plants in your picture to make it unique. Let your imagination run wild! Finger painting is a fun and tactile way to paint cardboard that will keep children occupied for hours. Fill small containers with different coloured paints and allow your child to dip their fingers into the paint and then press them onto the cardboard. Make sure that the workspace is protected by plenty of newspaper as finger painting can be messy. Seascapes are a beautiful and timeless scene to paint. Choose colours that reflect the mood you want to create, for example, darker colours if you want to create a stormy mood, or lighter colours if you want to create a fresh and uplifting mood. For a more realistic look, paint the sky first, and then the sea. Lightly paint the surface of a stamp with acrylic paint and then press it onto the cardboard. Clean the stamp with a damp cloth and then apply a different colour. This will create a fun and contrasting pattern on the cardboard. Use a variety of different stamps to create different patterns and landscapes. Purchase stamps from a craft store.


Paint a liberal coating of stripper on the area. Let it soak in. Cover the project if you need to take a break.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Completely coat the polyurethane with paint stripper. It needs to look wet with the paint stripper, so be generous with your application. Use an old paintbrush or even a paint roller. Be sure to get into any nooks and crannies. The type of paint brush isn't important, but you may want to get one you'd be willing to throw away afterwards. The paint stripper is going to do the work for you, so you need to let it soak into the polyurethane. Ten minutes is usually enough for a chemical-based paint stripper. You'll know it's ready when the polyurethane starts wrinkling and bubbling. If you're using a water-based stripper, it will take much longer to work, maybe even six to twenty-four hours. Check the back of the can to find out how long it should take. If you need to leave the project for longer than it says on the back of the can, then you should try to cover the project to keep the paint stripper wet. The stripper needs to be wet to soak in properly. Another plastic tarp should be sufficient, and you can place it lightly over the furniture or flooring.


Paint a mental picture of what you want. Follow a script. Offer an alternative. Consider their needs. Avoid lying.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You are always less likely to hurt someone’s feelings if you can communicate how you feel and what you need without making them defensive. Try to describe in detail how you feel, and help them picture what you need.  For example, you could say, “I've had such a hard week at work. In an ideal world, I'd be able to lie in my bed all day. Can I ask you a favor? Would you mind if we didn’t hang out tonight?” If you need more time than that, you could say, "I'm going through a lot right now, and I really need some time to reevaluate things. Can I ask you a favor? It's a big one. Would you mind if we didn’t hang or talk for a few weeks?” If you want to politely decline social invitations, but you are feeling shy, just follow a script. This will help you not to overly-apologize. It is perfectly okay to say “no” without saying “I’m sorry.” Here are a few samples:  When you just want to say no: “My week has been really busy. I think I need to take it easy tonight. Thanks though!” When you don’t want to hang out with a whole group: “Thanks for thinking of me, but I have to pass. Do you want to make plans for just the two of us? I need a breather from group situations. When you aren’t up for it tonight, but still want to meet up another time: “This sounds like so much fun! Would it be possible to get a rain check?” When you really don't want their friendship anymore: "I don't know how to say this, but I don't think we really mesh with each other. I'm going to put this friendship on the back burner for a while." Any time you ask a friend for space, you run the risk of making them feel unwanted. If this is a friendship you want to hold on to, you can minimize these feelings by offering an alternative.  If you're not up for going someplace really public, maybe you'd be okay with just handing out together at home? If you really just need to be alone right now, maybe you could make plans for next week? If you need space for quite a while, maybe you'd be okay with just texting once or twice a week? All relationships involve...

Use spray paint to color the basket frame.  Make sure to use spray paint that is approved for use with metal.     White, black, silver, gold, and bronze paints have the most traditional appeal, but you can use any color that matches with the décor of your room.    Cut a 36-in (91-cm) piece of parchment paper and three 18-in (46-cm) pieces of wax paper. Lay the parchment paper out on an ironing board and place the three pieces of wax paper inside. Fold the parchment paper over the wax paper to sandwich the pieces in.  The parchment paper helps the wax stick together and stay within the layers of paper. It also creates a smooth, finished surface on the wax paper.     If you do not have an ironing board, you can lay this out on a clean dish towel in the middle of a hard floor or table.    Use a low setting on your iron. Pass the iron over the paper sandwich several times to melt the layers of wax paper together. Remove the layered wax paper from the parchment. The wax paper should stick together, but it should not stick to the parchment paper.    Continue creating stacks of three-layered wax paper until you use an entire roll of wax paper.  For large planter frames, you may want to use half of a second roll, as well. You do not need to use new parchment paper for each layer. The parchment paper can be reused. Use a circle cutter to cut 2.5-in (6.35-cm) circles out of each layered sheet of wax paper. Cut as many circles as possible.  If you do not have a circle cutter, you could use a cookie cutter or other circular stencil that measures roughly 2.5 in (6.35 cm) in diameter. Trace around the stencil using a craft razor or blade.     Cut the circles out over a cutting mat. It may help to tape the wax paper to the mat as you work to prevent it from sliding around.    You will need to cut out anywhere from 90 to 120 strands of ribbon.  You can either attach the ribbon in single or double layers. The method you use will determine the needed length of each strand.     Single-layer ribbon should be about 7 in (18 cm)...


Paint around the perimeter of the stripes with a mostly dry paintbrush. Use a small roller to apply 2 coats of paint on the stripes for even coverage. Let the walls dry overnight and peel off the tape.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Dip a medium-sized dry paintbrush into the color that you want your stripe to be, and let the paint drip off of the brush until it’s mostly dry. Then, paint along the tape on the inside of the stripe to make a large rectangle, also known as “cutting in” the shape, which helps to prevent bleeding when you use a roller.  You only need to apply 1 coat of the perimeter paint to prevent bleeding before you use a roller. Don’t be afraid to get some paint on the tape, but be careful not to get it on the areas where you want the base color to show! Dip a small, medium-nap roller into your paint, and roll it out a little on a piece of cardboard or a paint tray. Then, use long, even strokes to apply the paint to the stripe, working on 1 stripe at a time. Once you’ve completed the first coat on all the stripes, let the paint dry for 24 hours and apply a second coat.. The smaller the roller, the more control you have over where the paint goes. Rollers create a smoother, fuller finish than paint brushes. After applying the 2nd coat of paint, allow the stripes to dry almost completely. When the paint is still slightly wet, lift one end of the tape, and pull off the tape at a 45-degree angle from the wall. Work smoothly and quickly to avoid pulling off the paint or chipping the base.  If you pull off the tape when the paint is completely dry, you risk chipping or peeling the stripes. If you do have some chips or peeling, wait until the paint is dry and then use a small paintbrush to touch up the color as much as possible. You may need to re-apply the tape to get a crisp line for your stripes when doing touch-ups.


Paint each nail in three smooth strokes. Clean any excess polish off of the skin around your nail. Apply a second coat of nail polish. Apply a slow-setting topcoat. Rock your look with confidence. Ignore bullies, or ask them to stop harassing you.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Apply one stroke to the left side of each nail, one stroke to the center, and one stroke to the right side. This method will help you avoid getting polish on the skin next to your nails. Paint the nails of one hand and wait for them to dry before continuing onto the other hand. When painting your nails, try not to get any nail polish on the skin around your nail. If that does happen, immediately wipe it with a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover. Do this on a nail-by-nail basis, before the paint has dried. Otherwise, it’ll be much harder to clean off the dried polish from your skin. If you want your nails to be a darker color, or if you want the polish to be more opaque, add another layer of polish. As before, paint each nail using three full strokes. Be careful, though; if you add too much polish, it will start to lump together on your nails and you’ll have to start over. Once you’ve painted a second layer of paint onto your nails, wait for them to dry. Once your layer(s) of polish have tried, apply topcoat over each nail. Topcoat will dry to form a hard, protective finish. This way, your nail polish won’t be scratched off the first time you bump your fingers against a hard surface. Both slow- and fast-setting topcoats will be available at a local drugstore or salon. Opt for the slow-setting; it will give your nails better protection and keep the colors bright for longer. Nail polish is a fun way to add extra flair or style to your look, and is a great way to make yourself feel bold and stylish. Even if most of your male friends don’t paint their nails, you can still wear the look confidently. Who knows, you may even start the next trend at your school! If you’re being harassed because you chose to paint your nails, you don’t have to change your behavior or stop painting them. If a bully makes snide comments about you behind your back or in a non-aggressive way, it’s best to ignore them. However, if the harassment has continued for months or if the bully gets in your face, calmly ask them to leave you...


Paint on a layer of stain. Wipe off any stain not absorbed by the wood. Let the wood stain dry. Add another layer of stain for a darker color. Apply a finish to the surface.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You can use a variety of tools to do this. A foam or bristle brush will do fine, but you can also use a cloth dipped in stain to color your teak furniture. Apply an even coat all over. If there are any parts of the furniture you don’t want to stain, use masking tape to protect them. Use a clean dry rag to wipe off excess stain. Use a rag you don’t mind dirtying; the wood stain would be incredibly difficult to wash out. The longer you leave on the stain before wiping, the darker the color. The amount of time it takes for the stain to completely dry will depend on how thick of a layer you used. Avoid touching the stain too much if it’s still wet; you might end up with an uneven, blotchy coat. After the first coat has dried, take a moment to see if you’re satisfied with the color. If you want your furniture to be darker, you can add another coat of wood stain, right on top of the previous layer, following the same process. Use a clean brush to paint on the finish once you’ve gotten the desired color. After applying the finish, make sure to give it plenty of time to dry. There are three main types of finish, each with their own characteristics:  Oil finishes look closest to wood, but aren’t the best for protecting wood. Avoid using this kind of finish on outdoor furniture. Lacquer strike a good balance between attractive finish and durability, but require multiple coats. Polyurethane finishes are the most protective of the three, even repelling water.


Paint on the first layer of egg white. Let it dry. Consider using a piece of tissue between layers. Apply another layer of egg white. Repeat a third time (optional). Gently wash and rinse. Repeat until blackheads are gone. Finished.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The egg white helps get rid of skin discoloration. It is also packed with nutrients that are good for your skin. Once all the layers dry, the mask can be removed, bringing blackheads and acne discoloration with it. You can use your fingers or a small brush to apply the egg white. Before applying any more layers, you need the first to dry. The idea here is to get multiple layers to create a thick mask of egg white on your skin. If you don’t let each layer dry, subsequent layers will simply combine with the others, and may not dry quickly or evenly. By applying a thin layer at a time, you are creating the mask bit by bit. A way to ensure you have separate but conjoined layers is by putting a clean piece of tissue or toilet tissue between them. After painting on the first layer, immediately press on the tissue. Allow this to dry before applying more layers. You will apply tissue on top of each layer before it dries. Now that you have a foundation of egg white, you need to add more layers. It should go on thinly and evenly, and bond with the dried layer. Add tissue on top of this layer if you are using that method. Two layers of egg white may be enough for many cases of blackheads. However, if you have many blackheads, you may want to apply a third layer. Once you feel the final layer, and the mask as a whole, tight and dry over your skin, it is time to remove. Try to peel off the mask, especially if you used tissue. Rinse your face with water and use a gentle cleanser to clean all the egg white off your skin. Pat your skin dry to avoid irritating it. You may not see the blackheads magically disappear after one application. Wait a few days and do this treatment again. Apply the mask a couple times a week until the blackheads go away and stay away.


Paint or seal the hull and deck of the model. Finish your model and display it.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Now that you've fully assembled the hull and deck of the boat, you can begin to apply paint, stains, or other sealants.  This can help give your model the finished look that the real boat would have.  Check your model's instructions for exact details on which kind of finish to apply and how to apply it.  Most wooden model boats will require some kind of wood stain and sealant to protect the wood. Some models can be decoratively painted to look like their real life counter parts. Matte or stain polyurethane finishes can be a great addition to your model boat. Before you complete your model, it's a good idea to give it one final check.  Make sure everything is painted to your liking, that you've added all the detail items, and that you are satisfied with the way it looks in general.  If there is something missing, feel free to go back and fix whatever it is you've noticed.  After you've checked your model boat over, you can proudly display your hard work.  You can buy model boat displays at many hobby stores. You shouldn't have any leftover parts from your model.  If you do, try to figure out where it was supposed to go and add it if possible. Be careful with your finished model boat as it will be fragile.


Paint over the blank canvas or piece of paper to give your child a base. Show your child how to use a paint brush. Suggest a theme or image. Explain how to mix basic colors. Provide creative painting materials like marbles, feathers, and yarn.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

To prevent your child's painting from having patches of bright white between colors, you can provide a base color on the canvas or piece of paper. This will then allow your child to paint over the base color and layer paint in a creative way. If you do provide a base color, choose a light color like light orange, yellow, or blue. Your child may tell you what color she would like as her base color or that she would prefer not to have a base color. Be open to her suggestions; this is her paint project after all! If your child has never used a paint brush before, you may want to demonstrate how to dip the brush in paint and apply it to the paper or canvas. Start with a small amount of paint and show your child how to paint straight lines, circles, and how to cover a small area of the paper or canvas. Allow your child to try to use the paint brush on her own after your demonstration. If she is familiar with numbers and letters, you may help her to paint the first letter of her name or her favorite number. This will help her get used to using the paint brush. Get your child's creative juices flowing by suggesting she draw what she sees outside the window, such as trees, the sun, and grass. You can also suggest she paint the members of her family or use her favorite color to paint her best friend. Often, children will come up with their own images and themes as they paint and play around with being creative. Encourage your child to express herself as she sees fit and avoid correcting her painting. She should feel free to explore different representations and images and have fun as she paints. Depending on how old your child is, it may be appropriate to show her how to mix basic colors so she does not end up with a mud painting, where every color is mixed together to form a brown shade. Start with the primary colors and show her how to mix the primary colors together to make different colors using a popsicle stick. For example, red with blue to make purple, yellow and blue to make green, yellow and red to make...


Paint the MDF with a water based paint. Use a solvent based paint, alternatively. Allow the paint to dry and enjoy your finished MDF.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Open your paint and prepare it according to its instructions. In most cases, this will involve stirring the paint. Once open, dip your paintbrush into the can. Wipe excess paint on the inner lip of the can. Use long, overlapping strokes to apply the paint to the MDF.  If using a roller to apply paint to your MDF, use one with low nap. “Nap” refers to the fuzziness of the roller.  For the best looking and most resilient finish, use two to three thin layers of paint. In between applications, allow the paint to dry completely according to its usage directions. A paint that is oil-, alcohol-, or lacquer based can be used in place of one that is water based. After primer has been suitably applied, both water and solvent bases should adhere to the surface. Apply the paint in the fashion previously described for water based paint. Your paint should list a recommended drying time in its label instructions. A single layer of paint may be enough to satisfactorily coat your MDF. Although one coat may be sufficient, two to three thin coats will create a stronger, more polished finish. Allow the paint to dry completely between applications.


Paint the handles the same color as the cups and let them dry. Add a ribbon to each handle, if desired.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Because paper is so absorbent, you'll probably only need a single coat of paint for this. Set the handles down on a larger sheet of scrap paper, then apply your paint. Let the paint dry, then flip the handles over and paint the back. Let the back dry as well.  You don't want to use too much paint for this step, or the paper will turn soggy and warp. Alternatively, you can color the handles with a gold or silver marker. It won't be the exact same color as the cups, but it will be close enough. Do the next step while the paint is drying. Cut 2 lengths of ribbon, each about 6 inches (15 cm) long. Next, but V-shaped notches into the ends of each ribbon. Take 1 ribbon and thread it through the left handle. Fold the ends of the ribbon down, then glue them to the bottom of the handle. Do the same thing for the second ribbon and right handle.  Hot glue will work the best. If you want to use tacky glue, you'll have to pin the ribbons in place with a clothespin until the glue dries. You can also try double-sided tape. If the ribbon is fraying too much, you can singe the cut ends with a flame. If you are a child, ask an adult to help you. Satin ribbon about 1⁄2 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) wide will work the best. Red or blue are traditional colors, but you can pick any color you want.


Paint the walls a sky blue color. Cover a practice board with the same sky blue paint. Give the walls 24 hours to dry before you go to the next step.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Choose a color that looks like the sky and also goes well with the accessories you will use to decorate the room. It is best to use a paint with a satin finish. Apply a second coat of paint if needed. You are going to want to practice making clouds on a board, before you actually paint on the walls. Wait for the walls to dry completely.


Paint the white part of your ball. Paint the red part of your ball. Paint the black part of your ball. Finish with a gloss.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You want to use your white paint first. If you happen to paint over the line with white, it is easy to cover up with darker paint. If you choose to do it the other way, you’ll have a very difficult time covering your mistake. Decide which part of the ball you want to make the bottom. Use the lower mark you made with your elastic and paint from there down. Also, paint the small inside circle from your washer white. Use two coats of paint for a bright white finish. Next, paint the red part of your ball. This is the top. Paint from the upper line you made from tracing the elastic. Paint from this line up.  Because black is darker than red, if you get some of the red over your line, you can still paint over it to correct it. Once again, use two coats of paint. This is the center ring around your Poké Ball. Carefully paint the ring black, including the outline you created with your washer. If you wait for the red and white paint to dry, you can place your elastics around your ball once again at the outline of your black center part. Use these as a guideline and to protect your red and white paint from being ruined. Poké Balls are shiny. Finishing with a top gloss will make your Poké Ball look more authentic. Once your paint has dried, use a shiny top gloss to paint over the entire ball. To avoid the gloss from smudging, paint your ball one half at a time so that you can safely rest it without ruining any wet paint.


Paint the wood with a bonding agent. Mix a 2-part epoxy with a putty knife on a non-porous surface. Shape the epoxy on the wood with the putty knife. Scrape off excess epoxy with a clean putty knife. Let the epoxy set overnight.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Use a wide paintbrush to apply a thin coat of bonding agent to the wood. Coat the entire area you’re making a patch for with the agent. This helps the epoxy adhere to the area better. Epoxy bonding agent can be purchased at hardware stores. Dispense enough epoxy to fill the rotted out area. Mix both parts of the epoxy thoroughly until it is a uniform color. Use a flat piece of clear plastic or glass as a mixing palette so the epoxy does not stick to it. Most epoxies have a 1:1 ratio for mixing, but follow the specific instructions on the package.  Use a gun applicator to dispense the epoxy in pre-measured ratios. Work with the epoxy within 30 minutes of mixing it, or else it will dry out. Use a generous amount of epoxy and push it into the rotted area. Make sure it comes into contact with the wood that’s still present. Press with the edges of the putty knife to compact the epoxy. Use a scrap piece of wood as a straightedge if you want to make clean, flat edges. Carefully use the edge and corners of the knife to match the epoxy to the edges of the existing wood so it has a clear, uniform look. Use a clean putty knife to smooth the edges of the epoxy. Trace the profile of the wood onto a plastic putty knife and cut it out with a strong pair of scissors to precisely match the edges. It takes 24 hours for the epoxy to completely dry. Once the epoxy has dried, it is ready to be sanded, primed, and painted. If the epoxy is outdoors, it needs to be primed and painted. Otherwise, the sun will wear it away.


Paint using a dry brush dipped in acrylic paint. Consider starting with a base coat. Layer the paint on the velvet. Use a clean, dry brush to lift paint that was erroneously applied. Allow the painting to dry.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Choose high-quality acrylic paints made for coloring fabrics. Using a wet brush will cause the paint to run and/or the fabric to become soggy.  If your velvet is dark in color, brighter colors will show up better than pastels. A high-contrast design may be easier to paint than one with a lot of fine detail. You could paint a thick white base coat only on areas of the velvet that will be painted with color. This will allow you to use less colored paint as well as help your colors pop since they will have a white, rather than a black, undertone. Be sure to let the base coat dry before painting over it with color. Velvet absorbs paint, so the paint's color tends to dull as it dries. To compensate, you'll need to paint in layers until you achieve the color intensity you want in the finished, dried painting. Allow each layer to dry before applying another coat. It’s best to begin with large areas first, then move on to smaller details, and finish with highlights. Do this immediately, before the paint is absorbed by the fabric. Let the painting dry for several hours, preferably overnight, to ensure you don’t smudge or ruin the painting. Carefully remove the cardboard or foam core, if applicable. Then, display your finished painting wherever you would like.


Paint watercolor paper or use cardstock or construction paper.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

A really nice way to get paper flowers with interesting, nuanced petals is to paint on watercolor paper. It allows for slightly different shades within the same piece that look natural and reminiscent of a real flower.  For watercolor paper, you simply dip your brush in a bit of clean water, add some watercolor paint to the tips of the brush, and go over the paper. The best part about it is that it’s supposed to look slightly different in every spot, so you don’t have to worry about shading or blending. You can also use cardstock or construction paper, too, and it’s quicker and cheaper. You just won’t have the soft gradient of watercolor paper; however, you could choose a more vivid color with this type instead.


Paint your can. Cut patterns and designs into the cans. Paste paper designs on the can. Sew or knit a cozy.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Paint designs onto the can to customize your pencil holder. Acrylic paint is a great all-purpose medium for painting on various surfaces, and dries quickly, allowing you to continue to decorate your pencil holder.  Use a primer before applying paint to the can in order to ensure the paint adheres to the metal.  Use acrylic spray paint to give your can a full, uniform coat for adding further designs. The paint on your can will likely crack if the can is bent, so be careful once the paint has dried. Use a box cutter to cut various designs into the can. Hearts, diamonds, abstract patterns, or faces are all fun options for customizing your pencil holder.  Avoid grabbing the can near these designs, as the holes created will have sharp edges. Try marking the designs you will be cutting with stencils to help guide your cutting efforts. Draw some designs on a piece of paper and paste them on the can as decoration. You can also paste an entire sheet of plain paper onto the can as a canvas for additional paper decorations.  Cut your name out of paper, or another’s name if you are giving the pencil holder as a gift, and paste it onto the can to mark the can as yours. Glue sparkles, felt, ribbon and other accoutrements to put the finishing touches on your design. A homemade cozy for your pencil holder can help bring some warmth to its appearance. Feel free to knit whatever design fits the room you’re placing the pencil holder in, or make multiple cozies to keep the style of the can fresh. If you used a soda can for your pencil holder, you can also purchase a regular cozy from the convenience store. These can at least give your pencil holder stability, if you aren’t concerned about the design.


Paint your guitar. Add stickers or decals. Draw or write with pens. Add colorful binding or purfling.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Disassemble your guitar carefully to paint the body of it with spray paint or another paint that is safe for guitars. Add designs or repaint the whole surface, then top with a guitar lacquer for a shiny, professional finish.  It’s important to sand down the surface of the body before you paint, using sandpaper and a sanding block to smooth the surface and help the paint adhere to it.  It’s a good idea to coat the body with a primer before adding paint. Add several layers of each to get an even color in your desired shade.  Note that painting, especially if you’re doing the entirety of the guitar body, is best done on a solid-body electric guitar. Hollow-body guitars like acoustic guitars are more sensitive to changes to the wood and susceptible to getting the paint into the interior of the instrument. Add any stickers or decals you want to the body of an electric or acoustic guitar for some extra character, color, or to make a statement.  Note that most typical stickers will leave a sticky residue behind or even pull up the lacquer or paint on your guitar. Make sure you are happy with the stickers being there permanently before you apply them. You can buy decals that look a little bit like giving your guitar a tattoo. It’s best to spray a coat of lacquer over a decal for a shine consistent with the rest of your guitar. Sketch out your own freeform design or use a stencil to create patterns, pictures, or words on the body of your guitar with markers, pens, or paint pens.  Remember that most markers and pens are permanent. Sketch out a design lightly with a pencil before you add color from a marker. You may be able to remove some color with a little rubbing alcohol.  Try adding your own signature to your guitar for an extra personal touch. You can also add some sparkle to your designs by applying small gems or rhinestones using wood glue. Choose a colored or patterned decal to easily change up the existing binding and purfling on the edges of your guitar, which are the thin plastic or wood pieces between any...


Paint your room Create patterns. Put up posters or wall stickers. Make your own art.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

. Painting is one of the most affordable ways to instantly change the look of your space.  Choose a color that goes well with your theme, and make sure it's something that you think you will like for a long time.  Make sure to measure your room and check how many square feet the paint you are buying will cover. You will almost definitely need two coats of paint, no matter what kind you buy. If you are painting over a dark color, you may need to prime the walls before you paint. If you are using more than one gallon of paint, it's a good idea to mix them together in a large bucket just in case they end up being slightly different. Don't forget to give the ceiling and trim a fresh coat of paint if they are looking dingy. Painting your walls a solid color can look great, but if you want something a little more unique, there are lots of ways to add some more interest to your walls.  Paint three walls a neutral color and one wall a very vibrant color for an exciting accent wall. Use wallpaper for an added punch. Temporary wallpaper is also available if you don't want to have to worry about removing it later. If you can't afford to do your whole room, add wallpaper in strategic locations, like behind your bed or under a chair rail. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to wallpaper, try painting on a design. You can use painter's tape to create simple designs like  stripes, or  use a stencil for a more elaborate design.   Faux painting with a sponge or rag is also an option if you want to give your walls some texture. You can also use painter's tape to create abstract patterns or geometric designs on your walls. Don't be afraid to be creative! Putting up posters of your favorite band or actor can be a great way to express your interests. Better yet, wall stickers are meant for walls and won't rip paint. Just don't over-crowd the walls, because then the room will look messy. You can hang just about anything on your walls, so use your imagination and create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece!  If you have a collection...
