Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sew the tulle layers together with a zigzag stitch. Pin the ribbon onto the pleated edge of the tulle. Fold and sew the ribbon onto the tulle edge. Sew the tulle onto your elastic strip. Leave the bottom of the skirt unhemmed.

Answer: After you have the desired number of tulle layers, sew the layers together along the stitched edges to connect them. A zigzag stitch works best to connect your tulle layers securely. Line up the ribbon edge with the edge of the tulle on one side and pin along the edge. Make sure that the ribbon overlaps the edge of the tulle by about 0.5 inches (1.3cm). The ribbon should also have an equal amount of excess on either side of the tulle skirt edge so you will be able to tie the ribbon in a bow. Fold the ribbon over to the other side of the tulle and pin along this edge to hide the raw edges of the top of your tulle skirt. Sew along the pinned edge to secure the ribbon. Remove the pins as you go. If you want to secure the tulle skirt with elastic instead of ribbon, line up the elastic and the top edge of the tulle skirt on your sewing machine so that the ends are even. Begin sewing a zigzag stitch down the length of the elastic. Tug the elastic slightly as you sew to ensure that it is the same length as your skirt edge, but do not stretch the elastic beyond the edge of the skirt. Sew all the way to the end of the elastic and tulle skirt. Stitch the ends of the elastic and tulle skirt together to secure them in a circle. Your skirt is ready to wear after you sew the ribbon into place. You do not need to sew a seam on the bottom of your tulle skirt because tulle does not fray. You can leave it unhemmed and it will be fine.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select plants with similar needs. Pick plants that stay small. Opt for an open glass container for low-moisture plants. Get a more enclosed glass container if your plants like humidity.

Answer: You can grow just about any low-maintenance plant in a terrarium, but you'll need to choose plants that will grow well together. Get a selection of plants that grow in similar conditions in the wild, such as woodland, desert, or tropical plants. For instance, if you choose a woodland theme, you might grow moss, foam flowers, and hepatica. Many of these plants do best in cool, shady conditions. Desert plants, such as cacti and other succulents, do best with brighter light and low humidity levels. Tropical plants, like Tahitian bridal veil and Venus fly traps, like warm and humid conditions. Plants that grow really wide or tall aren't the best options for terrarium gardens. Instead, stick to small, low-growing plants, or those that can be easily pruned down to a manageable size. For example, starfish plants are ideal for terrariums since they only grow to be about 6 inches (15cm) tall when they're fully mature. Some terrarium plants, like club moss, like to spread horizontally. You may need to trim them back to keep them from taking over the entire terrarium. Others, like the false aralia, need to be pruned to prevent them from getting too tall. You can use just about any kind of glass container for a terrarium, from a fish tank to an old-fashioned glass bottle. However, if you're growing plants that like dry conditions, such as succulents, you'll need a container that doesn't retain too much moisture. Choose an open container with relatively low sides for these kinds of plants. For example, a fish tank or an old punch bowl could make a great terrarium for some haworthia, hens and chicks, and mini-cacti. Avoid growing succulents or cacti in containers with tall or curved walls, since these retain more humidity and don't promote good air flow. Tropical and woodland plants typically enjoy plenty of moisture, so they do best in more closed-off environments. If you have plants that need humidity, try using a container such as a jar, a vase with a broad bottom, or a Wardian case (which looks like a tiny greenhouse). Some plants that do well in more enclosed containers include ferns, begonias, mosses, and ivies. You can even create a fully closed-off environment by growing your plants under a glass cloche or inside a bottle.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Seal cracks in your walls. Install tight-fitting screens, weather stripping, and door sweeps. Clean away clutter. Place storage items in sealed plastic bins. Dust and vacuum regularly.

Answer:
Apply silicone caulk to any cracks around your windows and doors or along the foundation of your home. Most spiders will sneak into a building through these various cracks and unintended openings. Sealing the cracks will prevent the spiders from coming in. You can purchase caulk from a hardware store. Follow the instructions provided on the label to prepare and apply the caulk correctly. When you apply the caulk, make sure that the cracks are completely filled and covered. These are the other types of passageways spiders use to invade your home. Weather stripping and door sweeps will seal the gaps left at the bottom and sides of your doors and windows. Door sweeps are especially important because you cannot use caulk to cover the crack at the bottom of the doorway, making a properly fit door sweep your only means of cutting that path off from spiders. A tight-fitting screen is also an essential tool. Spiders can slip in through the gaps left by loose screens, and so can many insects spiders like to feed on. Install screens over your windows and vents. Repair any holes in your screens as soon as you spot them. If you spot a hole in your screen, repair it or replace the screen. Otherwise, spiders and insects may find their way into your home through that hole. Spiders gravitated toward clutter inside a building as readily as they do outside a building. Do not let piles of clothing, papers, towels, linens, or shoes sit on the floor. If you do leave a pile of clutter on the floor, shake out each piece of material as you clean the clutter up to shake off any unwelcome spiders. Spare clothing, holiday decorations, extra linens, and other objects that belong in long-term storage should be stored in sealed containers to prevent spiders from sneaking in. Do not use cardboard boxes. If you must rely on cardboard boxes, however, cover all exposed openings with packing tape. Good storage methods are especially important for items stored in a dark basement or attic. Consider storing outdoor tools and sports equipment in sealed storage containers, as well. This includes roller skates, gardening tools and clothing, ski boots, and team uniforms. If you do not want to store these items in plastic bins, store them in a large plastic bag with a tight seal and no holes. Cover all sources of pet and human food. Spiders are not interested in human and pet food, but insects that spiders feed on are very interested in these food sources. As a result, keeping food hidden away in sealed bags and containers will attract fewer insects, thereby attracting fewer spiders. You should regularly clean your general living area, but every couple of weeks, you should also clean around the areas where spiders like to dwell. Vacuuming and dusting removes both full-grown spiders and egg sacs, preventing the latter from hatching and producing a vast quantity of baby spiders. Vacuum under furniture, inside closets, under heaters, and around all baseboards. Dust high wall corners and other areas prone to little human or pet activity.
