Cut both ends of the balloon off using scissors to create a skirt or strapless dress, or design more detailed shirts and dresses by cutting arm holes into the balloon. Slide the balloon up over Barbie's body starting at her feet once you're done. The balloon should be deflated to use it as clothing. Look around the house to find spare pieces of fabric used for sewing or projects. To make a super simple dress, cut a circle out of the fabric with a diameter of about 1 foot (30cm). Cut a small hole for Barbie's head right in the middle, and then 2 arm holes on either side. Slide the dress over Barbie's head and use a ribbon or piece of string to tie it at the waist. Make sure the main hole in Barbie's dress is big enough for her head to fit through. Design more complicated pieces of clothing, such as pants or long-sleeve shirts, if desired. Find pieces of fabric for sewing or crafts around the house and cut them into squares large enough to fit over the sponge, leaving 1in (2.5cm) of extra fabric on each side. You can either sew the fabric to create a cover for the sponge, or you can glue the fabric onto the sponge. Do this with at least 2 sponges and then place one flat on the ground with the other up against a wall as a backrest. For a super comfy couch, make the seat of the couch out of 2 sponges stacked on top of one another. To create a long sectional, use 4-6 sponges to form the couch. You can color, paint, or cover the outside of the matchboxes with paper beforehand, if desired. Place the matchboxes on top of one another, adding drops of glue in between each layer to keep them all in place. Place Barbie's things, such as her hairbrush, phone, mirror, or books, in the drawers. If you only have one matchbox, prop the matchbox up on something like a piece of cardboard or paper clips and turn it into a one-drawer nightstand. Cover the new drawers with stickers, glitter, or pictures. Find an old shoebox from your closet, garage, or other storage spot and empty it out. Place a washcloth or small blanket inside, as well as something that will be used as a pillow. Now Barbie has a bed ready for sleeping! Create a pillow by stuffing a piece of fabric or a cloth bag with tissues or stuffing. Decorate the sides of the bed using markers, pencils, or paint. Find an extra hair tie and ribbon that you like. Cut the ribbon into 6in (15cm) sections, and then tie the ribbon onto the hair tie so that the middle of the ribbon is where the knot is. Do this all the way around the hair tie to create a fun tutu. Use different colored or patterned ribbon to make the tutu super colorful. If your hair tie is too big and won't fit Barbie, find a rubber band and cut it before tying a new knot to make it the perfect size. Use scissors to cut cardboard into strips that are at least 3in (7.6cm) wide. By bending these strips of cardboard, you can create simple chairs or chaise lounges. If you want the chair to stand up off the ground, bend paper clips to form chair ends and use glue or tape to attach them to the bottom of the chairs. Fold a 6in (15cm) long piece of cardboard in half to create a simple chair. Fold a 9in (23cm) long piece of cardboard into thirds to form a chaise lounge.

Q: Many women are accidentally buying a bra size that's too small or too big. The wrong sized bra can cause your breasts to look smaller or misshapen. When you go shopping for a bra, be aware of the size you need. Cup size is not necessarily the best measure of bra size. Cup size is correlated with band size. If you're an A-cup with a 34 inch band, you may be a B-cup with a 32 inch band. Learn your band size and then find a cup size from there. Go to a store that specializes in selling bras, lingerie, and other underwear. Ask for a fitting. A good saleswoman will be able to help find you a bra that's flattering on you. Push-up and padded bras are two types of bra that are specially designed to enhance the size of your breasts. If you want to enhance the size of your breasts, consider investing in a push-up or padded bra. Push-up bras are designed to lift the breasts up and push them closer together, creating the appearance of larger breasts. Push-up bras are sold at most department stores as well as stores that specialize in lingerie. Padded bras contain extra foam padding in the cups, which makes breasts look rounder and fuller without creating extra cleavage. No bra is universally flattering. A low-cut dress might benefit from your breasts looking perkier, but a t-shirt might be better worn if your breasts are softer and flatter. Have a variety of different bras on hand in your closet and choose the right bra for the right outfit. This might mean doing some experimentation before going out. A good bra can be quite expensive. Therefore, you should work on taking care of the bras you have so they do not wear out too fast. Always hand wash and air dry bras. Going through the washer and dryer can increase wear and tear. Never wear the same bra two days in a row. Letting a bra rest for a day allows the elastic to regain its strength.
A: Make sure you're buying the right bra size. Use a push-up or padded bra. Have a variety of bras for different outfits. Take care of your bras.

Article: Rest each half of the spaghetti squash cut-side down. Keep the halves flat and in a single layer. If your dish is too small to fit both halves, microwave each half one at a time rather than piling them on top of each other. Seal the wrap around the mouth of the dish. Leave a small gap of space between the plastic wrap and one side of the dish to allow some, but not all, of the steam to vent. Make sure that the plastic wrap is microwave-safe. Many types and brands are, but not all. The squash is done when you can pierce the exterior with a fork. If your microwave does not rotate, pause the cooking every 3 minutes and turn the squash 90 degrees each time. Otherwise, it may not cook evenly. Use tongs to carefully pull the plastic wrap off the dish, starting with the side opposite you so that most of the trapped steam escapes away from your direction. The built-up steam can burn you if you aren't careful. Allow the squash to sit for 10 to 15 minutes or until it becomes cool enough to handle.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Place the squash in a microwave-safe dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap. Cook the squash for 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and let sit.

Article: 25" x 6.25" stiff craft felt. Some craft felt is very, very expensive. You'd never think felt would cost a pretty penny, but it can. Skip that aisle and go for the stiffer, cheap version that most craft supply stores have, too. You need it to be stiff anyway. This shape of box has a taller bottom half and a shorter lid, hence the size discrepancy between the two sheets of felt. Of course, you can adjust these dimensions how you see fit. You're holding in your hands two box halves that are ready to go once you glue them together. You can use whatever you have on hand, though hot glue is easiest. Just dab a bit on the center of the tabs, making sure not to squeeze it outward and all over the sides of the box. Let it dry for a few minutes, holding the tabs to the sides of the box. Then place the box top over the base of the box and marvel at your handiwork.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Get one piece of 9" x 9" stiff craft felt and one piece of 6. Glue the tabs to the sides and voila.
