INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wire plate hangers come in different sizes, so you need to know the size of the plate before you can purchase the hangers. Use a ruler or tape measure to determine the vertical length of your plate. If you have a simple circular plate, you only need to know the diameter. Similarly, if you have a perfectly square plate, you only need to know the length of one side. If you have a plate with uneven sides, like an oval or a rectangle, first determine which side will be the vertical side when you hang it. Measure the length of that side and choose your hangers based on that. You should be able to buy a standard wire plate hanger at most hardware stores and craft stores. Look for the size that best fits the dimensions of your plate. Usually, the different size ranges are: 5 to 7 inches (13 to 18 cm) 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 cm) 10 to 14 inches (25 to 35 cm), holding up to 30 lbs (13.6 kg) 14 to 20 inches (35 to 51 cm) There should be two wired ends attached by a long spring. The single wire piece with the pointed center should be hooked over the front top of the plate from the back, and the two-wire end should be hooked over the front bottom of the plate from the back. Note that the spring connecting both ends should be hidden behind the plate. Due to the placement of the spring, the plate will stick out from the wall a bit. Take that into consideration when using these hangers. These hangers work best with plates that are fairly normal in shape and size. If you have to distort the springs too much to make the wires fit, the plate will be unstable and more likely to fall off the wall. Decide where you want the plate to be on the wall and mark the spot with a pencil. Hammer a nail into that spot. At least half of the nail should be inside the wall, but you should also make sure that there is plenty of nail space for the hanger to rest on. To determine where you want the plate, hold it up against the wall and move it around until you find the right spot. Lightly mark the top of the plate with a pencil. Set the plate down, then measure the distance between the top of the plate and the pointed top of the hook. Make another mark on the wall the same distance away from your original mark. The nail should be hammered into this second mark. Carefully hang the pointed end of the top hanger onto the nail on your wall. This should complete the process. Check the plate after you hang it. If it is not evenly aligned, you may need to readjust the positioning of your hangers on the plate. If the plate does not seem secure, change the position of the hanger or nail until it does. Alternatively, try a different hanging method.

SUMMARY: Measure the plate. Buy a wire hanger. Attach the hanger to the plate. Hammer a nail into the wall. Hang the plate.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is a do-it-yourself method of waxing made with natural ingredients. It is much cheaper than going to a salon to have the waxing done professionally. Lemon juice (2 tablespoons) Raw sugar (1 cup) Water (2 tablespoons) Non-GMO cornstarch or arrowroot powder Once you have all of your ingredients, you need to gather the materials that will help you to make it. You will also need materials to help you do your own waxing. Medium-sized cooking pot Stainless steel bowl 6" x 12" strips of cloth Stir the ingredients together, and then slowly bring the mixture to a boil. Next, reduce the heat and simmer the mixture until it turns a golden color and becomes smooth. When the wax is in the stainless steel bowl, allow it to cool for several minutes. The color may become darker as it cools. While the wax cools, you need to prepare the body part(s) you want to wax. Wash and exfoliate the area, which helps to remove dead skin cells prior to the waxing. Dry your body when you are done. Areas of the body you can wax yourself include legs and arms. Waxing the bikini area, underarms, and facial areas are not recommended as the skin is more sensitive. See a professional if you would like these areas waxed. A family member or friend could do back or chest waxing at home for you, if that is something you would like done. You do not need a lot of powder; just sprinkle a thin layer over the area. This helps with the wax removal. Knead the wax until it is smooth, and then spread it on your body part. As you spread it on, always move in the direction of your hair growth. You should not apply it against the hair growth. Lay the cloth strip over the waxed area and press it down. You will need to wait a few moments for the wax to cool to your body temperature before removing it. When the wax has cooled to your temperature, very quickly grip it and pull it up against your hair growth. You need to do this fast, as doing it slowly will actually be more painful and likely not remove all of the hair. Continue to work until you have waxed the entire area. When you are done waxing, gently rinse off any of the wax that might be still stuck to your body. Then, moisturize the area. Jojoba and grapeseed oils are recommended options for moisturizing and reducing redness. You do not want to wax again immediately, because your skin will become too irritated. If you missed any big areas, then wait a few days before repeating this method.

SUMMARY:
Buy or gather the ingredients needed for the sugar wax. Collect the materials you need to help you make the wax and do the waxing. Add the lemon juice, sugar, and water to the cooking pot on the stovetop. Remove the mixture to the stainless steel bowl. Wash the area you want to wax and prepare it for waxing. Sprinkle cornstarch or arrowroot powder over the area to be waxed. Collect sugar wax in your hand, about as much as the equivalent size of a ping pong ball. Press a cloth strip onto the wax. Pull the cloth strip off against the hair growth. Repeat applying the sugar wax, letting it cool, and removing the wax all around the body part. Rinse off remaining sugar wax and moisturize. Wax again in a few days if you missed any areas.
