You need to multiply the number because you will be folding the fabric in half width-wise and sewing it to create your strap. For instance, if you want your straps to be half an inch thick, multiply this number by two and add of an inch so that your width will be 1 inches. According to your measurements for the width and length of your fabric, cut the fabric. You may want to cut along a ruler to make sure that you are cutting straight. For instance, say you calculated that you needed 20 inches (50.8cm) of length for your strap and 1 inches of thickness. If you got a yard of fabric, cut a 20x1 inches rectangle. This will be the material you will use to make your strap. Since you are making two straps for your dress, cut another rectangle the same measurements as the first rectangle. You can lay the first rectangle you made over the fabric and cut around it if that makes it easier.

Problem: Article: You will need a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid that can hold 12 ounces (355 milliliters). The jar can be made out of glass or plastic. If you plan on making glossy or glittery Mod Podge, you will need a slightly-larger jar. You will need about 8 ounces (225 milliliters) of white, liquid gluethe sort kids use in school. If your bottle already contains 8 ounces/225 milliliters (or close to it) then you will not need to measure it out. If your bottle contains more glue, however, then you will need to pour the glue into a measuring cup to make sure that you have the right amount. Consider using an acid-free scrapbooking glue. It is more durable and less-likely to yellow than regular glue.
Summary: Wash out a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Find some craft glue.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your crush's friends are some of the people who know them best. If you've established a good friendship with your crush and their friends, you can ask them if they think that your crush likes you and wants to go out with you. Try asking a friend of your crush, "Hey, so do you know if (Your Crush) likes anybody right now?" If their friend knows that your crush likes you, they may just tell you! Asking one of their friends could also save you some pain and embarrassment if your crush isn't interested at all or is interested in someone else. If you can, ask your crush's best friend. Tell them about your feelings and ask them if they know if your crush has any feelings for you. Establishing a good friendship is an important part of a relationship, but you need to have chemistry to have a romantic relationship. A little flirting is a great way to see if you and your crush have a real connection. Tease them a little bit, compliment their appearance, engage in some lighthearted joking. If your crush flirts back and initiates their own flirting, then asking them out is starting to look pretty good! Texting or messaging your crush funny and flirtatious texts and memes demonstrate that you understand their interests and sense of humor. If your crush responds with texts or memes that show that they understand your humor and what you're into, it's a great sign that they may like you. For example, if your crush is super into dinosaurs, you could send them a funny dinosaur meme. You could send heart emojis or other cute graphics and see if they respond with similar emojis that would hint that they may like you. Be careful not to overwhelm your crush with too many messages, and don't demand an immediate response to your messages because that can come off as clingy. Before you actually try to ask your crush out, you could playfully joke about dating them to see how they respond to the idea. Try saying something like, "We should just date then" or "Why aren't we together already?" If they seem really surprised or upset, or if they say something like, "But we're just good friends," you may want to hold off on asking them out. It's okay if they're hesitant at first, maybe the time just isn't right for you to try. If your crush responds favorably, like if they agree that the idea sounds good, you should feel comfortable asking them out in the future.

SUMMARY: Ask one of your crush's friends what your crush thinks about you. Try to flirt a little with your crush and see if they flirt back. Send funny texts and memes and gauge how your crush responds. Hint at asking out your crush to see how they react.

Highlight relevant work experience or, if you have none, draw attention to relevant skills, such as computer and interpersonal skills, and familiarity with legal procedure. Once you know the area of the law in which you would like to work, a temp agency can help place you in available jobs in that field.
