INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Choose another color, like red or yellow, to create the feather. Since the feather shape will be much smaller, you'll only need an 8.5 by 11 inches (22 by 28cm) sheet of construction paper. The new dimensions should 5.5 by 8.5 inches (14 by 22cm). Position the folded paper in front of you so the folded side is on the right. Leave a notch about 1 inch (2.5cm) long at the bottom right corner (where the fold is) to act as the stem. From there, cut out a long half-teardrop shape to create the basic shape of your feather. The point should end at the very top right corner of the folded paper. Make the feather as long or short as you would like. Remember that the longer the feather is, the more likely it is to droop. Keeping the paper folded in half, cut .25 inches (0.64cm) slits into the curved edge. The slits should look like lines cut into the paper, not pieces cut out. Space the slits about .5 inches (1.3cm) apart along the entirety of that outer curved edge. Make sure to only cut along the open curved edge. Do not cut into the stem or the folded spine. You could also cut triangles into the fringe to make a more varied, jagged edge. On the side that was previously folded inward, place some craft glue along the stem. This will secure the feather to the hat. Open up one brim of your hat and place the stem inside, somewhere around the middle. Tilt the feather so it extends toward the back of the hat or slightly past the back of the hat. Press the brim closed again and hold it in place until the glue dries.

SUMMARY: Select a sheet of construction paper in a different color. Fold the paper in half lengthwise. Cut out a long curved shape for the feather's base. Cut a fringe along the outside curve. Unfold the feather and place a little glue on the stem. Glue the finished feather inside the brim of the hat.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In general, unwrapping your baby suddenly and completely doesn't work well; your baby may feel uncomfortable and struggle to sleep. If you have a very active baby who has been wriggling out of the swaddle independently, you can try this method. Otherwise, a more gradual approach is probably best. If you do choose to unswaddle your baby "cold turkey," try it at nap time first. That way, if it doesn't work out, you won't sacrifice much sleep. Many babies accept unswaddled sleeping more readily if you start gradually. Try leaving his or her hands and armed swaddled as usual, but unwrap the legs. You can use special swaddling products for this purpose, or you can improvise with blankets, cloth diapers, and the like. Alternatively, you can start by unswaddling your baby's hands and arms, while leaving the legs wrapped as usual. For best results, leave just one hand free at first, then move on to both hands. As your baby accepts each stage of unswaddling, move forward until he or she is sleeping with no swaddling whatsoever. If your baby struggles to sleep, wakes frequently, or seems upset, do not move forward. Wait until he or she can accept the first stage (an unwrapped arm or unwrapped legs) before unswaddling further. If your baby really loves swaddling, it might help to start by unswaddling only during naptime or only for the first few hours of nighttime sleep (say, until he or she wakes to breastfeed). Gradually increase the time spent unswaddled. If your baby is struggling to fall asleep without being swaddled, try gently holding his or her hands against the chest. This may soothe your baby and let him or her fall asleep. There are a number of products on the market, shaped like sleeping bags, to help babies stay warm and calm without tight swaddling. If your baby seems comfortable in one of these, use it! You can gradually unclip the sleeping bag to ease your baby into the feeling of freedom. In addition to the bags, there are also swaddling straps available that keep older babies comfortably swaddled. If your baby is struggling to sleep without his or her usual swaddling, you could consider using one of these products temporarily. If your baby wakes and cries more easily when he or she is not swaddled, try using other soothing techniques. For example, consider: singing a lullaby playing soothing music wearing your baby in a sling and walking around rocking your baby Soothe your baby as needed, but as soon as he or she is calm, put your baby back in the crib to go back to sleep. Every baby is different, and yours may take some time to accept these new sleeping arrangements.
