Not every image makes a good, or feasible, stencil. A single-overlay image is a great way to start out for someone new to fabric painting. This means that you'll transfer the image onto, and use, a single sheet of stencil. Basic silhouettes work best or pictures with deep contrasts. If you are adapting a design, make sure it will work as a stencil. Take time to plan how you will cut and try to plan only one overlay. If you plan to include writing, go online and look at various fonts. It's easiest to find a shape or image that fits your piece of fabric right away and doesn't require any adjustments. However, it is possible to shrink or enlarge an image before making your stencil. Print out the image and then use a copier's zoom function to adjust and reproduce it. You could also look at the image on your computer and use a design program to change the size. Acetate is a thin plastic that is often used for transparencies on overhead projectors. Lay your sheet of acetate on top of a piece of wood or glass. Place the image for your stencil on top of the acetate and then cut around the negative space (the areas you want to paint) with a sharp matte knife. Lift everything up and you will have an acetate stencil that you can use for fabrics. Acetate sheets come in different thicknesses. A thin sheet will be flexible and can mold more easily to moveable fabrics, but it will be easier to tear. A thicker sheet will be tougher to cut, but is more durable. A vinyl sheet is a great option for stenciling, as it is sturdy with a sticky backing that can hold onto a fabric. Lay your vinyl down flat. Smooth or iron it out to remove any wrinkles. Place your image on top and use a matte knife to cut out the vinyl in all of the to-be-painted places. Many online craft shops also offer vinyl stencils for sale. Cut down a piece of freezer paper to roughly the same size as your image. On a solid and sturdy surface, place your image underneath the freezer paper sheet. The shiny, waxy side of the freezer paper should face downward, the dull paper side towards you. Cut your design out with a craft scalpel or matte knife. Freezer paper is somewhat transparent, so you should be able to see your image under it. If you can't, go over the outlines of your image with a permanent marker to make it more visible. Avoid wrinkling or bending your final piece of freezer paper, as this could create spots where paint can seep through the sides. You can also trace the image with a pencil or pen onto the freezer paper and then cut it out with a paper of scissors. Some crafters use a cutting machine. In this case, simply feed your freezer paper into the machine with the shiny side still facing downward. Use your household printer to print out the image or design that you've selected onto regular paper. Then, run the image through a lamination machine. Get a pair of scissors and cut out the negative space where you want to paint through the stencil. You can also laminate the paper after you've already cut it, but then you'll need to cut it once more to remove the inside lamination.

Summary: Choose a single-overlay stencil. Select a stencil of the right size. Make a stencil from acetate if you want a reusable option. Make a vinyl stencil if you want a bendable option. Make a freezer paper stencil if you want a quick option. Make a laminated printed stencil if you want a computer-based option.

You can always change these through the options menu. You can also choose an option that makes your mouse click without pressing the clicking button. The 'W' key moves you forward, the 'S' key moves you backward, the 'A' key moves you left, and the 'D' key moves you right. You will be able to break most blocks, but some require tools. Do you feel trapped? Is there simply no way to walk out of the little hole? Just press the W key and the space bar to jump out. To sprint, either hold the control button or double tap the 'W' key. From here, you can change the controls and edit other settings such as the music volume. Now press the E key to access your inventory. This is where you items will be stored. However, you can only carry so many items, so you will need to make some sort of storage unit.

Summary: Use the movement keys (W A S D by default) to move around. Look down and hold down on left-click to break the block underneath you. Get out of tight spots. Press the esc key (escape) to access the menu. Press the esc key again to exit the menu.

If you applied some white school glue or liquid latex in the beginning, now is the time to peel it off. If you didn't, use a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol or acetone to wipe away any stray bits of nail polish or mirror powder. For a super-neat finish, dip a striper brush into acetone, then trace your nail just inside the cuticle.

Summary: Clean it up.

Most of Google's buildings are only accessible by their employees. Exceptions are sometimes made for guests of employees. If you know someone who works at Google's headquarters, call or email them to ask if they can give you a tour of some of the buildings. Be polite and offer to work around their schedule to make the visit happen. If you get the opportunity to visit the Googleplex, be on the lookout for some of the most notable parts of Google's work environment. If you wish to take pictures, ask for permission first. Be as low-key and discreet as possible to avoid distracting employees during their work day. The Google Visitor Center is essentially a mini-museum that showcases Google's history. Access to this exposition of cultural and historical artefacts is restricted to employees and their guests. Ask your tour guide to bring you through the building, which will give you an informative overview of how the company has developed over the years. Note that the visitor center may be closed as of 2019. It's located near the Android statue garden in the Landings building area. The Googleplex cafeteria combines a variety of high-quality restaurants that range from casual dining to upscale cuisine. Ask your Googler tour guide if you can share a meal with them in the cafeteria, which is open to employees and their guests. Choose from restaurants that are color-coded green, yellow, or red for general healthiness. Green represents maximum healthiness. Yellow indicates food that features both healthy and unhealthy ingredients. Red signifies that the food is more decadent and not ideal for a healthy diet. Ask your tour guide if you can see one of the "nap pods" scattered across Googleplex buildings. These enclosed reclining chairs shut out external stimulus so that employees can work quietly or sleep. They also include a built-in Bose music system and a timer to wake up employees after a set time. These "naps pods" were created by a company called MetroNaps using NASA science. Many of the plant-based foods served in the Googleplex cafeteria are grown on-site in the Google Garden. This large organic garden uses Earthbox, a technology invented by Google that waters plants from the bottom instead of the top. Ask if you can visit this impressive space on your tour. The Google Garden also has vast green spaces and meditation spots for employees. The garden also serves as the learning grounds for students of a local horticulture society.
Summary: Ask a friend or contact who works for Google at give you a tour. Observe highlights of the Google headquarters offices discreetly. Visit the Google Visitor Center. Have a meal in the Googleplex cafeteria. Checkout Google "nap pod" sleep stations. Ask if you can see the Google garden.
