Problem: Article: You can use any pattern you like and any fabric, but cravats are typically made with soft fabrics (as opposed to stiff ones) that are more comfortable to wear and easier to wrap and tie. You can even use two different fabrics if you'd like to make a reversible cravat. Popular fabric choices include: Satin Soft cotton Muslin Silk For this project, you will need some pins, a sewing machine, thread, scissors, a steam iron and ironing board, a measuring tape, a flat work area (such as a table), pattern paper and a pencil, a pattern pencil or chalk, and two strips of fabric that are at least 9 inches (23 cm) wide and about 2.2 yards (2 meters) long. To make a cravat that only wraps once around your neck, the fabric can be only 1.6 yards (1.5 meters). If you don't have access to a sewing machine, you can hand stitch the cravat, meaning you'll need a sewing needle instead. Whatever that measurement is, subtract one-half inch (1.3 cm), and divide that in half. Write this measurement down, as you will need it in the next step to create your pattern. To make a generic or one-size cravat, use eight or nine inches as your measurement. Draw a rectangle that's 2.5 inches (6.3 cm) wide and the correct length based on the neck measurement from the previous step. Now, connect that rectangle to an elongated hexagon that's 7 inches (17.8 cm) wide, and between 21 and 31 inches (53 to 78.8 cm) long, depending on how long you want your cravat to be. Make sure the center of the original rectangle connects with the lengthwise center of the hexagon. When you are finished, cut out the pattern.
Summary: Choose a fabric. Gather your supplies. Measure your neck. Draw the pattern.

Problem: Article: From here, get your glitter ready. You can buy makeup glitter at a local department or beauty store. Take the cap off the glitter and pour a small amount of glitter into the cap. Set the bottle aside as you work. Make sure you set the bottle aside in a clear space. If glitter smears, it can be very difficult to clean up.
Summary: Pour your glitter into the cap.

Problem: Article: Wash with lukewarm water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Wipe gently using your bare hands only until your skin is free of excessive oil. Pat dry with a towel instead of rubbing. Despite popular belief, acne is not caused by dirt. Scrubbing hard, using hot water, or washing more than twice a day can make your acne worse by irritating your skin. Wash again if you gets uncomfortably sweaty. Sweat may make acne worse. . Many people touch their face without thinking, which can trigger a breakout. Try to keep your hands at your side. If you have oily hair, wash and condition frequently, and keep it out of your face. The physical irritation of your skin causes the breakout, not bacteria from your fingers. Keeping your hands clean won't solve the problem. Some makeup products help prevent acne, and others encourage it. Because skin is particularly susceptible during pregnancy, cosmetic products that did not bother you before can cause acne now. Stick to makeup labeled "non-comedogenic." This is less likely to clog pores. You may want to talk to your doctor about safe cosmetic use during pregnancy. In the United States, the FDA takes pregnancy into consideration when evaluating cosmetics. Not all countries have this level of protection. Although people often blame acne on diet, the connection is shaky. A healthy diet for you and your baby is much more important than an "acne diet" that might not even work. Notably, some anti-acne diets cut fat (with only slight evidence). This is a bad idea while pregnant. Aim to get roughly 2535 percent of your calories from fat. Oral zinc supplements seem to help acne, even though zinc lotions probably do not. 15 mg of zinc per day (including from food) is recommended during pregnancy, and may even slightly reduce the risk of complications. Stop taking zinc supplements once you start breastfeeding. These are generally not as effective as medication, but the examples here have no risk of harming the baby. These come in two types: To exfoliate clogged pores, add honey to superfine sugar or ground oatmeal, scrub gently, and rinse off. Use sparingly to avoid irritation or drying. To soothe irritated skin, massage gently with a plain carrier oil (such as argan oil or olive oil). Some essential oils can be dangerous during pregnancy, including sage, jasmine, and many others. Different types of essential oil, including eucalyptus and citrus oils, are most likely safe but have not been thoroughly tested. If you decide to use them anyway, take these precautions: Never use them in the first trimester. Confirm that the oil you chose is safe by asking a doctor or other trusted source. Mix one drop into at least 1 tsp (5mL) of a carrier oil. Use sparingly. Daily use carries a higher risk.
Summary: Wash the affected area gently. Stop touching your face Reevaluate your makeup. Learn about acne and diet. Take zinc supplements. Make natural skin treatments. Be careful with essential oils.

Problem: Article: Read the concrete packaging to find out how to mix it. The ratio is usually about 1 part water to 3 parts concrete. Add the water and concrete to a mixing container, then use a wooden stirrer or electric paddle mixer to combine them into a thick liquid. The mixing ratio may vary depending on what product you own, so check the manufacturer's recommendations to get the concrete to the proper consistency. If you got a bag of concrete and mixed it normally, you should use a concrete bonding adhesive to ensure the layers of concrete stick to one another. The adhesive is a liquid that comes in a plastic jug and you pour it directly into the concrete mixture. Check the manufacturer's instructions to add the product at the recommended ratio. You can get the additive online or at most home improvement stores. If you are using a concrete patching product, you most likely do not need the adhesive. It is often included as part of the patching mix. Check the product's label to make sure. Pour concrete onto the existing slab until it is around where you want the final level to be. Make sure you have enough concrete to fill the entire area to the depth you desire. Add all of the concrete right away so none of the mixture has a chance to dry out. You do not need to wait for the scratch coat layer to dry completely. It will have dried enough while you mixed this batch of concrete. You can try to fill in a slab with multiple pours of concrete, but this usually isn't advisable. You won't get a single, uniform slab, which can lead to bonding issues in the layers. The concrete needs to be leveled out before it solidifies. You can use a trowel to smooth over small areas or a screed board and bull float for large areas. Work back and forth, passing over a little more of the rough concrete each time. Make multiple passes over the entire surface to ensure it is smooth. On hot days, the concrete can dry out very quickly, so don't waste any time after pouring it. Make sure there are no marks left in the concrete when you are done smoothing it. A good curing compound is the best way to preserve wet concrete. Mix the curing compound according to the manufacturer's instructions, add it to a garden sprayer, then spray it directly onto the concrete. This should be done right after you finish pouring the concrete. Concrete takes about 7 days to fully cure. Another way to do this is to spray the concrete thoroughly with water from a garden hose, then lay a polyethylene sheet or concrete curing insulation blanket over it. Make sure the plastic is flat against the concrete or else it will cure unevenly, causing discolorations. Remove the sheet to moisten the concrete again every day for a week. The longer the concrete is allowed to cure, the stronger it will be. Make sure no one is able to step on the concrete until it has finished curing.
Summary:
Mix a batch of concrete according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add a bonding adhesive if you are using regular concrete. Apply the new concrete over the primer. Use a trowel to smooth out the concrete. Protect your work by spraying the concrete with a curing compound.
