Problem: Article: In the wild, giant leopard moth caterpillars hibernate all winter as part of their life cycle. Caterpillars can hibernate outside in their containers all winter, or you can put it into the refrigerator. Don't freeze your caterpillar. Your caterpillar will not eat while it's hibernating, but it may be lightly active on warmer days. When it's mildly active, it might eat available food. When your caterpillar wakes up in the spring, it'll be ready to fatten up in preparation for its metamorphosis into a moth, which will take place later in the spring. Make sure that you provide your caterpillar enough food for it to get ready to turn into a pupa, which is its cocoon-phase. Your caterpillar's fuzzy skin will slide off once it has fattened up, leaving a smooth black oval called a pupa. This is it's cocoon phase. You can expect it to shed its exoskeleton during spring. Since you can't pinpoint the actual date of your moth's emergence, keep track of its progress each day. While your pupa does not need food, you may want to mist the caterpillar's home daily to keep it humid. Simply spray a light spritz of water into the container. While their actual time in the pupa can vary, giant leopard moth caterpillars only take a few weeks to metamorphose into a moth. You can choose to keep your moth or set it free.
Summary: Allow your caterpillar to hibernate. Add more food to your caterpillar's diet. Wait for your caterpillar to shed its exoskeleton. Check the pupa daily. Watch your giant leopard moth emerge.

Problem: Article: The type of eyeliner you choose depends on your preference. Some people prefer working with liquids, while others prefer pencils. With round eyes, you want to apply liner to the outer corners of each eye. This can make your eyes pop, and also elongate them slightly. Start with your upper eyelid. You'll be applying the liner along your lash line. This refers to the portion of your eye just above your eye lashes. You will not be covering your entire lash line. You'll start about half a centimeter away from the outer corner of your eye. Slowly move your brush or your pencil along the lash line, working towards the outer corner of your eye. Strive for a thin, neat line. When you reach the end of your lash line, add a small wing to the skin just outside the corner of your eye. The wing should be very small, less than a quarter of a centimeter. To make this wing, use your eyeliner to add a small upturned line that points towards the end of your eyebrow. On the bottom lid, draw another line just below your bottom eye lashes. As with the first line, draw a straight, thin line starting about half a centimeter away from the outer corner of your eye. Keep drawing until the second line merges with the first line. In order to brighten your eyes, you want to add some eyeshadow to the outer corners. Once again, you'll be working with your corner brush. Here, you'll want to choose a slightly darker shade. A brown or a gray would work well. This will balance out the lighter eyeshadow covering the inner corners of your eye. Apply eyeshadow to your corner brush. Then, blend the eyeshadow slightly into the eye liner on the outer corner of your eye. From here, move your brush upward slightly. Create a curved shape outlining the outer corner of your eyelid. Focus mainly on the outer edges of your eyelid here. Make sure to get into the crease where your eyelid meets the curve of your brow bone. Then, add a small, thin line of the eyeshadow underneath your eye below your bottom lash line. This will create a sideways "V" shape that contains the outermost corner of your eyelid. If you're looking for a causal, every day look you should only apply eyeshadow to the corners of your eyes. However, for a night on the town, consider adding a fun, flattering eyeshadow to the remainder of your eyelid. Choose a shade of eyeshadow and use a larger eyeshadow brush to apply this to the remainder of your eyelid, filling in the space between the corners of your eyes. The shade is up to you. You may want to pick something that goes well with your eye color. Brown eyes may look great with a brown or gray shade, for example. If you want something fun, consider sparkly eyeshadow. This could be great if you're going clubbing. Take a large fluff brush. You will use this to blend the eyeshadow on your outer lids into the remainder of your eye. Using sideways motions, swipe your flush brush back and forth from the corner of your eyelid to the center of your eyelid. Keep going until the eyeshadow is more evenly dispersed throughout your eyelid. It should look slightly lighter and more spread out when you're finished. Take an eyelash curler and clamp it onto your eyelashes. Hold for a few seconds to give the nails a bit of a curl. With round eyes, curly eyelashes can make your eyes pop and look bigger. Then, take your chosen brand of mascara. Starting at the base of your eyelashes and comb your eyelashes upward in slow, steady motions. Wiggle the brush slightly as you go, as this helps separate your lashes.
Summary: Apply pencil or liquid eyeliner. Add some eyeshadow to the outer corners of your eyes. Consider adding a flattering shadow over the remaining lid. Blend with a fluff brush. Curl your lashes and apply mascara.

Problem: Article: Use bias tape to measure your fabric. Make sure that there's a 3 inch overlap of tape. Turn your garment inside out and place the fabric onto a flat surface with the wrong side facing up. You need 3 inches of tape to make sure it overlaps at the point where the two ends of the tape will meet. Stitching along a curved edge can be challenging so using this technique keeps the tape secured with the stitching on the inside and not visible when worn. Find the wider side of the bias tape and place it on the back of the fabric. Affix the wide edge with flat hair clips instead of standard sewing pins. The joined tape should be exactly as long as the raw edge of the fabric. Use a water soluble marker and a pin to mark the point at which the tape joins together once you've pinched the overlapping ends together. Match the bias tape with same coloured thread and stitch along the joining line. Press the seam open once you have trimmed it to inch. Keep the bias tape secured to the raw edge of the garment with hair clips. Encase the raw edge of the garment by folding over the tape and stitching it as close to the front edge as you can. Stitch all the way around the project to create an inconspicuous seam, removing the hair clips as you secure the garment within the tape. The two ends of the bias tape should meet once finished. Backtack at the start and end of the stitch. This should take away bulky overlap and create a tidy seam that won't be visible when worn.
Summary:
Measure the edge of your fabric. Prepare the bias tape and use flat hair pins to align with your fabric. Mark the joining points of the edges of the tape. Stitch along the joining line. Stitch in the crease on the back side of the tape.
