Article: One side will be the outside of your purse, and one side will make the lining. To make a more realistic-looking purse, choose paper that is patterned on one side and solid-colored on the other. For the neatest cut, cut a paper trimmer or paper cutter. If you don't have one, use a metal ruler and craft knife. For the rest of this tutorial, the double-sided scrapbook paper will be referred to as "DSP." You will end up with one 4 by 12-inch (11.43 by 30.48 centimeters) strip of paper, and one 4 by 7-inch (11.43 by 17.78 centimeters) strip of paper. Lay down a strip of double-sided tape along one of the narrow edges of your first piece of DSP. Peel off the backing, then press the narrow edge of the other piece of DSP on top. Do not overlap the two pieces by more than -inch (1.27 centimeters), or the body of your purse won't be long enough to wrap around the bottom of your purse. Set the taped DSP aside when you are done. Cut two by 11-inch (1.91 by 27.94 centimeters) strips of paper first. Then, cut two more and 8-inch (1.91 by 21.59 centimeters) strips. Choose a color that contrasts with your DSP, but that also goes well with it. Neutral colors, such as black or white, are great options. Be careful not to overlap the ends by too much, or your border won't be long enough to wrap around the top of your purse; -inch (1.27 centimeters) will be plenty. Repeat with the remaining two pieces. When you are done, you will end up with two, very long strips of paper. Set the border pieces aside when you are done. You will be attaching them to the body of the bag towards the end.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Cut a sheet of double-sided scrapbook paper into two 4 by 12-inch (11.43 by 30.48 centimeters) strips. Trim one of DSP (double-sided scrapbook paper) pieces down to 7 inches (17.78 centimeters) long. Use double-sided tape to join the two pieces together to make a long, skinny rectangle. Cut some solid-colored scrapbook paper into four -inch (1.91 centimeters) wide strips to make the top border on your purse. Use double-sided tape to attach one of the 11-inch (27.94 centimeters) long strips to one of 8-inch (21.59 centimeters) long strips.

Contact some developers in your network, and ask if they can provide any insight or advice about what to look for in a good developer. If you know someone in your field who recently hired a developer, have a chat with them about their hiring process. Ask them a few key questions, such as: "What are the most important qualities you look for in a developer?" "What are some common pitfalls to look out for when hiring a developer?" "Where and how did you find your best developer(s)?" "What sorts of questions do you ask when interviewing a developer?" If you aren't a coder yourself, you will probably need some help spotting the ideal candidate. If you know any developers, ask them to be a part of your interview process. They can help you come up with key technical questions and evaluate your potential hire's performance on test projects.

Article: Small talk is usually rather impersonal and can consist of topics like: the homework, weather, teachers, vacation plans, or something on the news. If you don't go to school with him, maybe ask what he likes to do other than homework, and school. If the conversation goes well, try talking to him again later in the week. Say something like, "Hi, I think we're in the same Physics class! What did you think of that homework last night? It took me several hours." Don't worry if you're doing most of the talking for the first few conversations. It might take the guy a few conversations to start opening up to you. A direct approach is best; don't try to play games or to get his number from somebody else. Getting his phone number is a flirty move that will let him know you're interested in him as a potential romantic partner. It will also allow the 2 of you to have more drawn-out conversations. Say something like, "Hey, I've enjoyed talking to you at school for the past couple of weeks. It'd be fun if we could keep the conversation going when we're not together; could I get your number?" Remember, if he doesn't text you first, don't sweat it. If he's shy in person with you, he'll be shy over text at first too! By talking to him a few times a week, you will begin to establish a bond and let him know that you're interested in being more than an occasional conversation partner. Until he opens up to you fully, try to lead the conversation by asking him questions. This will encourage him to talk more and even confide in you. Ask things like: "My family and I usually take a trip up to Aspen every winter. Do you travel often with your family?" "I like your shirt; The Ramones are a great band. Do you have a favorite record by them?" Asking him out is a great way to move things to the next level, and it'll also let him know unequivocally where you stand regarding the relationship. Make sure to ask him out in private so that the guy doesn't feel nervous. Shy people can be very protective of their emotions, and he may hate feeling pressured. Say something like, "You know, I like being around you, and it's been fun to get to know you better. Would you like to go out on a date sometime?" "I'm attracted to you and I'd like it if we could spend more time together. Can we go out sometime; we could get coffee or see a movie?"
