In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Unlike other kites, Chinese kites are traditionally made from strips of bamboo. You can find bamboo at specialty art supply shops and online. The bamboo is then cut into thin strips with a knife and used as the frame for the kite. If you cannot find bamboo, you can use thin wooden dowels from your local art supply store. However, the traditional Chinese way of making kites uses bamboo. Chinese kites are usually fashioned from thin silk or thin, long fiber paper. You can find thin silk at your local fabric store and look for thin, long fiber paper at your local craft store. Long fiber paper contains long, natural fibers, such as hemp, and is known for being strong and light. Kites made with thin silk are considered more high quality than kites made with paper. Some kite makers use newspaper or construction paper for their kites. The traditional Chinese kite is usually made of thin silk or high quality paper, but you can use newspaper if you do not have access to silk or specialty paper. To round out your supplies list for the kite, you should ensure you have: 8.5 x 11" (21 x 29.7 cm) plain paper Masking tape and/or glue Scissors Twine Spool of thread and a needle Measuring tape A crepe streamer Paint and/or markers to decorate the kite

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can also line the pan with aluminum foil, if you like. or margarine in a small pan over low heat. While this is melting, complete the next two steps. It should take about a minute or two for the butter to melt. It'll melt faster if you start off with it at room temperature. Pour the sugar and eggs into a medium-sized bowl and stir the ingredients together until they're fully incorporated. This should take about a minute. You can use a wooden spoon, a whisk, or even an electric mixer to stir the ingredients together. Now, pour these ingredients into a separate bowl and stir them until they are fully incorporated. Then, stir until the butter is well mixed in. This will make a nice, light yellow, creamy mixture. Just pour the ingredients into a sieve and gently shake it to let the air in while the cocoa mixture falls down into the egg mixture. You can even lightly scrap a fork along the bottom of the sieve to help sift the cocoa mixture. Now, you can mix in the chocolate chips into the rest of the ingredients. You can use regular chocolate chips, or cute mini chips if you prefer that. If you're feeling adventurous and want to mix things up, you can also go for the white chocolate chips. [citation needed] Now that the tray is greased, it should be all ready for you to pour in the mixture. Use a flat plastic mixer or knife to even out the mixture. It doesn't have to be perfectly even, but try to distribute it around the pan as evenly as you can so that the brownies are of even height throughout. [citation needed] After 25 minutes, keep checking on the brownies to make sure they don't burn. You can even clean up while you're waiting for your brownies to cook. If you hang around the kitchen while the brownies begin to harden, you'll be craving this sweet treat even more! Wait at least five minutes for the brownies to cool. This will also give them time to harden a bit. If you cut into them when they're still cooling, it'll be harder to cut them cleanly. You can cut tiny pieces, so you can devour them in one bite each. You can also cut larger brownies, so each portion is nice and hearty. It's up to you -- if you're making them for a large event, then the smaller, the better. But if you're just cooking for yourself and a few friends or family members, why not cut them to be a little bigger? You can even top them with confectioner's sugar for an extra sweet taste.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When storing firewood, it's important to keep convenience in mind. Firewood can be heavy to carry from outside into your home, and this can be especially stressful during the colder months. Seek out an appropriate space away from the home to avoid infestations from termites and carpenter ants, but nearby enough for convenience. Keep in mind, if there aren't any appropriate spaces very close to your home, you can invest in a wheelbarrow to make transferring the firewood easier. When firewood is stored directly on the ground, it will rot quicker. Bacteria and bugs can get into the firewood, causing it to go bad. Look for a place off of soil. Surfaces like concrete, asphalt, and clean gravel can be good surfaces for firewood. If you can't find any appropriate surfaces, you can use sticks to elevate firewood off of the ground. You can also lay down a tarp underneath firewood. If you have an outdoor storage shed, this a great place to store firewood. Inside a shed, firewood will be protected from things like rain. The shed will also provide a barrier between firewood and the soil. If possible, store firewood in an outdoor shed. Be careful of termites and carpenter ants taking up a home in wooden sheds as they can cause significant structural damage. You can also store firewood in your garage. Bugs, including termites and carpenter ants, can hitch a ride on the wood and cause significant property damage to wooden structures. You can store firewood in an old trunk, if you have one. Some fireplaces have compartments built into the wall next to them where you can store firewood. Make sure firewood you store indoors is fully dry. If you chopped or collected your own firewood, you should store it outside until it dries. It takes firewood around six months to fully dry out.
Summary:
Seek out a location close to your home. Find a location off of soil. See if there's room in an outdoor non-wooden storage shed. It is never recommended to store firewood inside homes.
