article: You can use a vase, bowl, or glass jar to hold your flowers. You can also choose something a bit more out of the ordinary, such as a pair of rain boots, a large spool, a colander, a tin can, a pitcher, or a decanter. The vessel you choose will determine both the height and the number of flowers you will use. Floral foam or clay can be used to hold your flowers in place so your arrangement holds its beautiful shape indefinitely. Clay works better with heavier arrangements. Both can be found at your local craft store as well as at most garden shops. If your vessel is clear, such as a crystal vase, you'll want to cover the floral foam or clay with greenery. Get moss or grass from the same shop you choose your silk flowers from. To secure your foam in the vessel, you can place small pieces of cling clay (a gummy, adhesive, clay-like substance) underneath your foam. You can also use floral tape to anchor your foam, as well as to bind items, like a loose leaf, to a stem or to bind an extension to a stem that is too short. Choosing beautiful silk flowers to use in your arrangement is a fun and creative experience. You can choose a variety of flowers and colors, stick to a single color, or choose several colors of the same flower. Consider the placement of the arrangement in your home to help you decide on the best size and color for your flowers. Choose flowers that look the most like the real thing. Study your favorite flowers so that you will know which are the most similar when you are shopping.

article: Set up your work space in a well-ventilated area and ensure that there's no smoking or open flames around. Consider wearing a half-face respirator with an organic-vapor cartridge if the ventilation is poor. Wash the floor with your usual wood floor cleanser. Once it's completely clean, use a microfiber cloth to dry the floor. If you have a dehumidifier, run it until the humidity in the room is below 50%. The temperature in the room should be between 60F (16C) and 75F (24C). . If you're only finishing a small area such as a door or board, use a sanding block or sand paper. If you're finishing an entire floor, use a drum or band sander. Either way, sand away old varnishes or lacquers using a very rough or medium grit (40 to 60). Then, move to a medium or fine grit (100 to 120) for light sanding. If the wood doesn't have old finishes to remove, you can use a medium grit (around 80). , dents, or holes with wood filler. Wipe away any dust from sanding and check the entire surface of the wood for small cracks, dents, or holes that need to be filled. Spread a wood filler or putty in over the spaces and let it dry for a few hours or according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the wood filler has hardened completely, take medium or fine grit (100 to 120) sandpaper and rub it over the surface of the wood. This will ensure that there aren't any bumps on the prepared wood. Use the soft-brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner to suck up the dust from your prepared wood. Ensure that you don't scratch the wood as you run the attachment over it.

Finnish has a heavy emphasis on vowels, and its alphabet contains some vowels that are not used in English. Before you start studying Finnish, you should learn how to read and pronounce its alphabet. Since Finnish words are spelled exactly how they are pronounced, this will help you learn vocabulary more quickly. A (IPA: /a/): pronounced like English "father" or "calm" O (IPA: /o/): pronounced like a prolonged 'o' in 'or'. U (IPA: /u/): pronounced like the English 'U' in 'Uber'. I (IPA: /i/): pronounced like the English 'ea' in 'Easter' or 'e' in 'email' E (IPA: /e/): pronounced like "bed" A (IPA: /ae/): pronounced like English 'a' in "hat" O (IPA: //): pronounced like English 'i' in "girl" Y (IPA: /y/): No clear equivalent, although briefly appears in the words ex. "to", "you", and "new". Similar to the German "u." A double vowel in a word simply means that you pronounce it for twice as long. Most consonants in Finnish are pronounced similarly to those in English. This includes the pronunciation for the letters D, L, M, N, NG, P, S, and T. However, Finnish consonants are cleaner and consonants such as T don't have any "h" quality to them and thus sounds closer to a D. The letters B, C, F, G, Q, X, and Z are only used in loanwords.There are a few differences between English and Finnish consonants. These include: Always pronounce H. Your H should sound breathy, as though you are puffing air every time you pronounce it. J is pronounced like "y" is in English. V is weaker in Finnish than in English. As you pronounce it, try touching your teeth against your bottom lip very lightly. A double consonant (such as in the word takka) is pronounced with a brief pause or hesitation between the two consonants. W and X are not used in Finnish except in loan words. It is good to have a stock of simple phrases you can use to say hello and goodbye to people. Practice repeating these phrases back to yourself. You can also listen to videos or audio clips online to help you get used to hearing the language as well. Some good phrases are: Hei: hi, hello Moi: hello (informal, used with friends) Hyvaa huomenta: Good morning Hyvaa paivaa: Good day Hyvaa iltaa: good evening Mita kuuluu?: How are you? Nahdaan myohemmin: See you later Hauska tavata: Nice to meet you Tervetuloa: Welcome Kiitos: Thank you Anteeksi: sorry, excuse me Nakemiin: goodbye To have a conversation in Finnish, you may find it useful to start by asking questions. These conversational questions can let you practice responding in Finnish while helping you get the information you need. Paljonko tama maksaa?: How much does this cost? Anteeksi, missa on _____?: Excuse me, where is ________? Voisitteko auttaa minua?: Could you please help me? Puhutko englantia: Do you speak English? Mista sina olet kotoisin?: Where are you from? Mina olen kotoisin_____: I am from _____. Mika sinun nimesi on?: What is your name? Minun nimeni on_______: My name is_________. Numbers are important to help you find and buy things while you are in a Finland. After learning one through ten in Finnish, you can attach endings to make numbers 11-90. one = yksi two = kaksi three = kolme four = nelja five = viisi six = kuusi seven = seitseman eight = kahdeksan nine = yhdeksan ten = kymmenen For numbers 11-19, all you have to do is to add the word -toista in the end of the finnish number between 1-9. (eleven= yksitoista; twelve=kaksitoista; thirteen = kolmetoista, etc.) For the numbers 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90, just take a number between 1-9 and add the word -kymmenta, at the end. Example: Kaksi (two) + -kymmenta = Kaksikymmenta, which means twenty in Finnish.
