Leather repair kits are available for purchase at hardware stores, department stores, and online. In theory, these kits should contain all of the tools and substances required to repair leather surfaces. To find a good quality kit, read user testimonials before buying; a reputable company will have many. To avoid stains from any of the ingredients being used to treat your leather, lay down newspaper, plastic sheeting, or towels under the leather object. Wear protective gloves and old clothing while you work. To minimize fumes from repair products, open the windows or bring the object outside to restore it. Using a sponge, gently spread a thin layer of leather binder (a liquid that seeps into the leather fibres and binds them together) over the entire surface of the worn leather. Let it air dry. Repeat the process 3-5 times, or until you are satisfied with the results. Remove excess binder that might accumulate around the seams. Add a small amount of water-based leather colorant to a sponge or foam applicator. Apply a thin coat onto the leather, concentrating on hard to reach areas like creases, cracks, and seams. Wait 30 minutes for the colorant to dry. Shake the colorant well to ensure that it is mixed well before using it. Fill a spray gun or airbrush with colorant. To avoid runs or oversaturation, spray very fines coats of colorant onto the leather. Allow the surface to dry (water-based colorants dry within a few minutes) and repeat the process until the surface looks adequately covered. Once the leather is dry, use a soft, lint-free cloth to apply a leather conditioner to the surface. Be sure to apply the conditioner evenly and cover the entire surface. Gently buff and polish the leather to make it supple and shiny.

Summary: Buy a leather repair kit. Avoid a mess. Apply a leather repair compound. Apply a thin coat of colorant. Spray on more colorant. Apply a leather conditioner.

Place your underwear face up and flat on your bed. Fold the bottom up toward the waistband. Fold both sides inward toward the middle. At this point your underwear should look like a square. Then fold the square in half. Stack the underwear on top of each other, or line them side by side in the drawer. Place the underwear flat on your bed face up. Starting from the waistband, tightly roll your underwear down toward the bottom. Leave 2 inches (5.1cm) of fabric at the bottom. Flip it over. Fold both sides in toward the middle, and fold the bottom up. Once you fold the bottom up, there should be a pocket. Finish the roll method by: Folding one side of the pocket up and around the entire piece of underwear until it looks like a little roll or a burrito. Some underwear garments may be too small to fold like thongs. Place the underwear flat on your bed or floor. Stack the underwear one on top of the other into a pile. Place the pile in your drawer. You do not have to fold your underwear if you do not want to. You can choose to just haphazardly place your underwear in the different sections of your drawer. You can also stack them flat, one pair on top of the other. Place one bra cup into the other to fold your bras. If a bra has a matching panty, place the panty in between the cups. You can either stack your bras on top of each other, or place one in front of the other in a row in your drawer.

Summary: Use the traditional "square" method to fold your underwear. Use the roll method to maximize space. Stack up small underwear garments that can't be folded or rolled. Choose not to fold your underwear. Fold your bras.

If you play golf, spend time hiking in the great outdoors, go boating, or do anything else that requires you to look out at long distances, amber lenses can improve your depth perception and strain your eyes less than other lenses would.
