Article: If you think you'll want to permanently preserve a jigsaw puzzle once it's finished, go ahead and build it right on top of one or more sheets of wax paper. Check the finished dimensions of the puzzle on the box and create a wax paper work surface that's at least 2in (5.1cm) bigger on all sides. For instance, if the finished puzzle has listed dimensions of 18 by 24in (46 by 61cm), tear off overlapping strips of wax paper to create a work surface that's at least 20 by 26in (51 by 66cm) Laying wax paper underneath the puzzle keeps sticky Mod Podge from getting all over your table, counter, desk, floor, or other puzzle-assembly surface. Mod Podge isn't too hard to wipe away when it's wet, but really tough to remove once it dries!

Assemble the puzzle on wax paper if you plan to preserve it.
Article: You should do a quick warm up before skating. This will help prevent you from becoming sore while on the ice and, as your body may not be used to the cold. At first, cramps may be more frequent due to the weather. Simply stretch each leg over the barriers at the rink to warm up before skating. At first, you may be inclined to look down at your legs to make sure you're going through the right motions. This will not actually help you skate better and can actually cause accidents. Make sure to keep your head up so you do not collide with anyone on the ice. Always lean forward slightly when skating. Bend your knees and keep your weight forward. Leaning back can cause you to fall backward onto the ice. Ice skating is difficult and takes years of practice. While you may feel overwhelmed at first, practice a few times a week. You'll eventually get the hang of figure skating. It's hard to judge your own technique as you cannot observe yourself. See if you can find professional lessons in your area in your price range. You can look online or look for flyers in your local rink.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Warm up first. Do not look down. Lean forward while you skate. Practice frequently.
Article: Measure the distance between your armpits to your upper torso. Use a simple piece of string, a small-diameter rope, or a body strap. Cut two pieces of material to this length and see if they fit around your body. The chest strap should be leveled to your arm pit on your upper chest. Once you find a comfortable fit, seal the ends with a knot to prevent unraveling. You can also use Velcro to attach the chest strap. Measure and cut out two thin strings that will go over your shoulders and attach to the chest strap to hold it in place. Take a measurement while the chest strap is attached, then remove the chest strap to attach the shoulder straps. You can knot the straps in place or use velcro to secure the shoulder straps to the chest strap. Imagine the design of a bra to help construct this design. There are plenty of options for underarm guards or pads. You can either make your own pads or buy a pack of premade pads designed to attack the sweat. Use whatever product or design that fit your needs. Use a safety pin or tape to attach the underarm guards to the harness where it crosses under your armpits. The guards should fit snugly against your underarms without impeding circulation. The easiest way to put on the harness is to insert each arm as if pulling on a cut-off T-shirt. Put your head through the harness. Adjust the length of the shields as needed. Once you're satisfied with the placement of the guards and harness, put the rest of your clothing on. Determine if you can see the harness while fully clothed by looking in a mirror. One way to hide the harness is by wearing an under shirt over the harness and then wear an additional shirt. Loose fit clothing will also help conceal the harness. Give yourself at least one week to test the comfort of the harness before trying a new technique.

Create a chest strap. Attach two shoulder straps. Acquire a pair of shields. Attach the guards to the harness. Put on the harness before your other clothing.
