Once you've decided on a design, sketch it out on a blank sheet of paper. No matter what shape you choose to make your outline, it should be about the same length of your palm and no wider than your wrist. Take inspiration from your favorite style of web shooters from the comics, or just come with your own original design. Sketch your web shooters in pencil so you can make changes easily if needed. Guide your scissors along the lines you just drew, cutting slowly and carefully to avoid mistakes. When you're done, you'll have a handy template that you can use to recreate your design with your crafting materials. You can use the same template if you decided to make a second web shooter prop later on. Place the design you just cut out in the center of the sheet of foam and run your pencil lightly around the edges. Then, remove the paper and cut along the pencil lines to create the same shape out of foam. Repeat the process with a second piece of foam to make the wrist piece for your opposite hand. You can find craft foam at any craft store, or in the arts and crafts aisle of most major grocery stores and super centers. If possible, use gray or black foam. If you're unable to find foam in one of these colors, you can always paint it later. You may have trouble getting your scissors through the thick foam. If you encounter a lot of resistance, consider using a utility knife instead. Just be sure to ask your parents before you do! The easiest way to do this is to draw a single rectangle on a piece of paper, then cut out the shape and use it as a template for your foam pieces. The foam rectangles will serve as the wrist straps for your web shooters, so make as many as you need to fit around both wrists comfortably. If you're not sure how many rectangles to cut, measure your wrist in centimeters and divide the number you get by 2. This will tell you exactly how many you need for each web shooter. Brush one side of each piece with a coat of acrylic craft paint and allow them to dry for 5-10 minutes. Then, flip over the pieces and paint the opposite side. In the newer comics and movies, Spider-Man's web shooters are almost always gray or black. However, you can also add a few accents in red or another color, if you like. Feel free to customize your web shooters however you want. It's your project, so have fun and use your imagination! Lay out your foam pieces side-by-side on your work surface the way they'll look when the finished web shooters are on your wrists. Squeeze a line of hot glue onto the inside edge of one of the end pieces, then press it to the outside edge of the piece next to it. Keep gluing like this all the way down the line, then let the glue dry for about 5 minutes. Each time you glue 2 pieces, clamp them together for 10-20 seconds to make sure the glue dries securely. Ask a parent or older siblings for help if you've never worked with hot glue before. Cut 2 soft strips and 2 rough strip to a length of 3 centimetres (1.2in) each to match the length of the foam pieces. Dab 2-3 dots of hot glue onto the back of each strip. Press a strip to the inner face of one of the end pieces and the stick the other to the outer face of the piece on the opposite end. Do the same for second web shooter. You should also be able to find Velcro at your local craft store or super center. Make sure you get the uncut kind so you can trim it to the correct length yourself. Make sure the Velcro pieces are facing the opposite direction so your web shooters will fasten properly. Adding Velcro will make it possible to put on and take off your web shooters whenever you want. This piece will be shaped like a thin rectangle with a circle at one end. Measure the rectangle so that it's just long enough to reach from the wrist strap of your web shooter to your palm. Once you've cut out the pieces, glue one to the back of each wrist piece. You can make your trigger piece black like the rest of your web shooters or paint it a contrasting color, like silver. If your trigger piece doesn't lay across your palm the way it's supposed to, glue a piece of metal wire to the backside. This will allow you to bend it into a shape that will better fit your hand. Take your scissors and snip two 1in (2.5cm) pieces from the end of a plastic drinking straw. Then, cut a rectangular notch at the top of the foam on both of your web shooters just wide enough to fit the straws into. Dab the bottom edge of the straws with glue and slip them inside the notches. Adding a webbing nozzle to your web shooters is optional, but it will give them a more realistic, functional look.

SUMMARY: Outline the basic shape of your web shooters on a piece of paper. Cut out your design to make a template. Use your template to cut 2 identical wrist pieces out of 5mm craft foam. Cut 12-16 3cm (1.2in) x 2cm (0.79in) rectangles out of 5mm craft foam. Paint your foam pieces if you want them to be a different color. Glue your foam pieces together with the wrist pieces in the center. Attach Velcro to the ends of your completed wrist straps. Cut out 2 keyhole-shaped pieces of 3mm foam for the trigger pieces. Glue a straw to each wrist piece to make a nozzle for the webbing.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While it may not be visually apparent, scent can go a long way towards developing how people perceive you. Smell nice by keeping yourself and your clothes clean, but also consider adding a perfume or cologne to your fashion line-up. Avoid young scents like fruity smells in favor of something more mature for a really classy touch. Keep your clothes in a theme in order give yourself a signature style. This is a look that people will associate with you and will make you seem more stylish, even if they don't necessarily like your clothes. The style you create for yourself should generally match who you are as a person. For example, a really sweet woman taking on a catty look will seem weird and out of place, the same as a serious businessman dressing in gangsta style. Tailor your clothes to fit your personality and people will be much more inclined to see it as your style. Do you ever feel like some models could wear a brown paper sack and still walk down a runway looking like the height of fashion? Do you know a guy who wears a tracksuit and still somehow manages to look totally fashionable? What the fashion industry doesn't want you to know is that a lot of looking stylish really comes down to projecting confidence. You don't have to actually be confident, of course, but if you walk down the street in clothes that you clearly think you look great in, people will usually be inclined to agree that (at a minimum) those clothes are perfect for you. The effortless part of the stylish look should of course be presented by giving off an air that you don't care, or that you just threw on the first outfit you could find. Be humble or indifferent when people compliment your clothes. In order to look stylish, you're also going to want to look elegant and coordinated. This means not falling down if you're wearing heels. Being graceful should be easier for guys, but is still important so don't neglect it. Even if you're wearing 4" stilettos, you need to look like it's all perfectly natural and you're perfectly comfortable. Don't complain and constantly readjust your clothes. If that style isn't working out for you, if you can't seem casual in it, then try something that's actually more comfortable. You can be comfortable and stylish. Again, effortless style is all about looking awesome while also looking like you didn't try at all. Effortless, right? So relax. Take a generally chill attitude to everything in life. Always stay calm and happy, and you'll look much better, no matter what you're wearing.

SUMMARY:
Don't neglect scent. Have a signature style. Fit your look to you. Be confident. Act like you don't care - or, actually don't care. Walk gracefully. Look comfortable, even when you're not. Relax.
