It should be slightly longer and wider than your companion. Shoe boxes work very well for small toys, but bigger ones will need bigger boxes. If you're making a house, it's better to use a much bigger box than your companion. If you're using a colored box, remember that this will be the exterior color of the house. The picture shows a great example of a nice bed that fits a sock monkey very well. This will be the carpet. Be creative! Having a gray carpet isn't very nice. Try adding some patterns. You can also try making it with the color of your walls. Windows, chimneys, and doors are wonderful choices. If you're confused, have a look around your own house! You wouldn't want to live in a house with nothing but a window and a carpet, would you? If your stuffed animal is a monkey, you might try adding some rocks and branches so it can climb on. Or if it's more of the human-animal kind, furniture is good. You can try adding in some mini couches, beds, tables and more. Getting these things are quite easy - you can get them from a Barbie set or make them with some guides here at wikiHow. You might try adding a removable rooftop, a basement, or even some mini garden hoses and a porch! Be creative! You could put the house in your bedroom, in the kitchen, or even in the bathroom!

summary: Find an unused box. Put a blanket inside the box. Add some house-like features to it. Add some furnishings. Decorate the outside of your box. Place the finished house in the desired location.

It's generally easier to skimboard on sand than on the water, so you'll probably want to do this first if you're just starting out. Sand skimming only requires a board with a flat design, which most wooden boards have. Plus, wooden boards are usually cheaper than foam boards, making them ideal for those who are trying to save money while skimboarding. The typical price for a wooden skimboard is around $100. You can buy wooden skimboards at most sporting goods stores and many mass retailers. Once you've gotten the hang of skimming on sand and want to try skimming on water, you'll want to get a skimboard that isn't as heavy as your sand skimming board. Foam boards are much lighter than wooden boards, making them ideal for skimming over water. They also typically are made with a curved design that makes it easier for the skimmer to ride along breaking waves. The typical price for a foam skimboard is around $200, though some may be as much as $600. The best terrain to go sand skimming on is any beach with smooth, flat sand. For skimming on water, the most important thing to look for is a shoreline with a very powerful shore break, meaning it produces sizable waves that you can ride all the way back to shore. If you want to focus mainly on wave skimming instead of sand skimming, then it might be better to go to a beach with a steep slope. Some of the more popular beaches to skim at are located in San Diego, England, and Florida. Skimboarding is a strenuous sport; if you're not in shape, you may injure yourself doing it. Don't try skimboarding unless you're sure you can run in short spurts, ride on a board, and take a few falls during the learning process. Keep your leg and back muscles stretched, warm, and strong while you're learning to skimboard to avoid injury.

summary: Buy a small, flat, wooden board if you're mostly going to sand skim. Opt for a curved foam board to go skimming on water. Find a flat beach along the coast to skimboard on. Make sure you're able to run and jump without any physical issues.

You don't want to draw too much attention to the fact that you'll be sleeping out in the open, since this might encourage someone to try to rob you. Wait until activity on the streets around you has died down a bit and be as inconspicuous as possible in setting up your camp. Note that many urban campers recommend you not use a tent, since this is very conspicuous. Feel free to skip this step if you plan on sleeping in your car and don't need to set up anything. Putting rocks or sandbags on the corners of your tent will help to keep it in place without being able to hammer it into the ground. If you can't pitch your tent on grass, try to find an egg crate or some other bedding to put between the tent and the concrete below. Whatever city you're camping in, there will probably be some potentially dangerous people out and about after dark. Your best bet for staying safe is to avoid these people entirely. At the same time, though, try not to slink, hide, or look suspicious in any way, as this will only call more attention to you if anyone sees you. In other words, you should try to avoid being seen, but if you have to be seen, try not to look out of place in the city. If you do end up interacting with other people after dark, don't accept any offers and try to disengage from the situation as peacefully as you can. As long as you aren't doing anything illegal and don't look suspicious, most police officers will not bother you while you're camping. However, if an officer does approach you, be honest and forthcoming about your activities and don't act like you have anything to hide. It helps to make absolutely sure that the way you're camping is perfectly legal. This way, you have no reason to be concerned about interacting with a police officer.
summary: Begin setting up your campsite just after nightfall to avoid being seen. Place your tent on grass, if possible, and weigh down the corners. Avoid other people as best you can without looking suspicious. Do not try to avoid engaging with police officers.
