In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Cut a length of ribbon at least 4 times the width of the pillow. Center the pillow over the ribbon. Wrap the ribbon ends around the sides of the pillow. Tie the ribbon into a knot in the front of the pillow. Add the rings, then tie the ribbon into a bow. Choose a charm that is meaningful, such as a horseshoe for good luck, or a heart for love. Sew it to the pillow under the bow, or slide it onto the ribbon before tying it into a bow. Purchase miniature ribbon roses or rosettes. If they are attached to wire stems, trim the stems down to just beneath the bud. Hot glue the rosettes to your pillow as desired. Adding them around the bow would be ideal. Sew a few stitches through the center of the pillow. Thread a needle and push it through the front of the pillow and out the back. Move the needle over 18 to 14 inch (0.32 to 0.64cm), then push it from the back and out the front. Do this one more time to create an X. Knot and cut the thread. Cover the X in the front of the pillow with a ribbon bow. Hot glue thin cording to the seams of your pillow. Make some tassels using matching embroidery thread. Sew them to the corners of the pillow. Silver and gold colors make for great accents, but other colors can also be used. If you prefer not to use hot glue, try fabric glue. You can also sew the cord using a whipstitch.
Summary: Tie a ribbon around a pillow. Add a symbolic charm to the bow. Embellish a pillow with ribbon rosettes. Create a tufted look. Add a corded trim and tassels for a lavish touch.

Resigning a job is not a decision you should make impulsively. Before you notify your boss of your decision to leave, carefully weigh the pros and cons and make sure you're ready to go. If you have a better job offer, consider whether you really want to leave your current employment. If you like your job and the people you work with, but want better pay and more benefits, you may want to sit down with your manager and ask for a raise first. If you had a bad experience, such as a fight with coworkers or a disagreement with management, your impulse may be to throw your hands up in the air and say "I quit!" However, it's better for your professional reputation to work towards finding another position before you leave the one you have, then follow proper protocol to formally resign. If you have an employee handbook, check to see how much notice your employer requires. You can also ask someone in your human resources office. The typical notice required is 2 to 4 weeks, but some companies may require a longer period. If you have another job offer, they should be willing to allow you to work out a notice. If not, be sure to notify your current employer as soon as possible and explain why you won't be able to work out the full notice period. Once you've made your decision to resign, have a sit-down meeting with your direct supervisor and let them know of your intentions face-to-face. This can be an awkward conversation, but try to keep it brief and to the point. If you have an employee handbook, check that as well. There may be a formal resignation procedure laid out. If so, follow that procedure to maintain your professional reputation and stay on good terms with the company. Stay professional, and hold back your emotions. You may be angry or resentful, but this isn't the time to express that. If you keep the conversation as brief as possible, you can reduce the chances you'll blow up. When you notify your employer of your pending resignation, either your manager or someone from human resources will be in touch with you about any accrued vacation and other benefits. Check your pay stub before you notify your employer so you know how many hours you're entitled to. Your employee handbook may have additional information on what happens to accrued hours when you resign. You typically have to provide notice before you resign to get any accrued hours paid out. If your supervisor declines your offer to work out a notice and insists that you leave immediately, double-check that this won't impact your ability to get paid out for your accrued hours. Discuss health insurance and retirement benefits, particularly if you haven't yet lined up a new job. If you signed a non-compete agreement or nondisclosure agreement, make sure those documents won't impact your ability to accept any job offers or do certain types of work. If you plan to violate a non-compete agreement, you may want to consult with an employment attorney. Non-compete agreements are frequently invalidated by courts, but you need a plan in case your former employer sues you.

Problem: Article: This includes applying the makeup, putting the wig on, putting in and taking out contact lenses, etc. If something doesn't fit or feel comfortable, take a moment to fix it. Make sure that your cosplay is comfortable and durable. If you are having troubles with contact lenses, leave them out. Don't leave costume contact lenses in your eyes for the entire convention; that is asking for a serious infection. You don't necessarily have to act like your character, although you can if you want to. It would be a good idea to have some poses in mind, however. People love to take pictures of other people's cosplays at conventions, so there is a high chance that someone might want to take a picture of yours! There is nothing wrong with getting into character if you see someone from the same anime or series. Be aware that not everyone will want to play along with you. If they don't play along, apologize and leave them alone; don't harass them or force them to play with you. Cosplay is supposed to be fun. Instead of comparing yourself to everyone else, feel proud of the work you did. Meet up with friends or make new ones. If you are shy, consider going to some panels, gathering, or other events. There is lots to do at conventions while in cosplay! If you do like competition, consider joining the cosplay contest or masquerade; most conventions will have one. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, speak up. Report them to security or con-ops. If someone is harassing you, and con-ops or security are not around, call for help. While these instances are not common at conventions, they still happen. Your safety is very important. Stay smart. Don't go to empty or solitary places with people you don't know. Stick with a friend or a person you trust, especially if you are out at night.
Summary:
Practice getting into cosplay before the big event. Get into character. Be respectful of other people's boundaries. Try not to take things too seriously. Remember that cosplay is not consent.
