In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can repurpose an old frame, pick something up at a second-hand shop, or buy something new for this project. The size of the frame will be the finished size of your chalkboard. When selecting a frame, choose one that still has its backing. The backing isn't necessary, but it will help you secure the chalkboard later. You can also use a framed mirror, as long as you can pop the mirror out. It should slide right out. You will not be using the glass for this project, but if you enjoy crafting, you might want to save it among your crafting supplies for a future project. If you dispose of the glass, take precautions to ensure that it doesn't hurt anyone. You can either recycle it or throw it away, but if you throw it away, wrap it in several layers of cloth rag or plastic bag first. If the frame is in ragged condition, lightly sand it down with fine-grain sandpaper. Temporarily remove the backing to prevent it from getting dirty or damaged as you sand. After sanding the frame, wipe away particles and other dirt with a clean, dry cloth. Even if you do not need to sand the frame, you should still wipe it down with a clean cloth to rid it of dust and dirt. Use a sponge brush to apply a coat of white primer over the wooden frame. If you don't plan on painting your frame or just want to paint a fresh coat of the same color, primer isn't necessary. Primer is essential if you plan on painting the frame a light color, especially if a dark color lies beneath it. Lay out newspaper or plastic sheeting first to protect your surfaces. Let the primer dry before moving on to paint application. Use a sponge brush or traditional paintbrush to apply several coats of paint in your desired color. Apply the paint with the grain, not against it. You can also use spray paint for faster, easier application. Allow the paint to dry in between coats. Aim for 2-3 coats for full and even coverage. You could apply wood staining, too, as long as the frame is made with natural wood. Do not prime the wood before staining it and use a soft bristle paintbrush to apply it. Apply the stain with the grain, not across it. Allow the stain to dry in between coats.
Summary: Choose a picture frame based on your desired chalkboard size. Take the glass or plexiglass out of the frame. Sand the frame down. Wipe down the frame. Apply a coat of primer to the frame if you plan to paint it. Paint the frame as desired. Stain a wooden frame, alternatively.

Be aware of tannin levels, because most teas contain some tannin, however, black tea has the highest levels. Oranges are acidic, but what a lot of people don't know is that their acidity is beneficial and actually neutralizes the acid in your mouth that causes decay and staining. Munching on fibrous roots, such as peelu fibers can remove tooth stains. Almonds, seeds and other nuts are also abrasive enough to remove and prevent tea stains in teeth. Remember that an apple a day keeps the doctor away? Well, eating apples also increase saliva production due to their higher water content. Increased saliva washes away bacteria that causes stains and decay. You can also chew sugar-free gum to help flush the stains away from your teeth. The gum will cause your teeth to produce more saliva, which will help protect your teeth.

Problem: Article: Ignoring someone at school can be tricky, especially if you share all of your classes with that person, but you can still find a way to ignore someone in school without being too obvious about it. Here's how to do it: If you normally sit next to that person in class, switch your seat. If you have assigned seats, talk to your teacher and ask if you can change. If you see that person in the cafeteria, see if you can sit in a new place. If you run into that person in the hallways, just look straight ahead, like you're so focused on getting to your next class that you didn't even notice. If that person asks you a question in class, just look away and pretend that it didn't happen. Ignoring someone at work can be difficult, because it's likely that you sit near that person or even work on projects with that person. Still, there are a few things you can do to minimize contact. Avoid the break room or kitchen when that person is there. Learn when the person goes in the kitchen to get their lunch or for a refill of coffee, and make sure you keep a different eating and caffeine-drinking schedule. If you sit near that person at work, stay focused on your computer, and keep a stack of papers at your desk so you can always look really engrossed by them instead of looking up at the person. Don't jeopardize your professional life. If you really have to talk to that person to get some work done, do it. The person will be even more annoyed if you talk to them at work and then ignore him completely after work. Ignoring someone socially is easy if you know what to do. You just have to lean on your friends and try to stay as far away from that person as possible even if you're in the same room. Here's what you can do: Stay busy with your friends. Talk with your friends and laugh it up like you're having the most hilarious conversation in the history of the world. Dance. If the person comes near you and there's music playing, grab a friend to the dance floor and start rocking out. If the person still approaches you, close your eyes like you're really feeling the music. If that person is standing in your circle, be extra engaged with everyone else around you. When that person talks, scratch your ear or check your phone - act like nothing is happening.
Summary:
Ignore someone in school. Ignore someone at work. Ignore someone socially.
