Q: Use a sanding sponge to sand away the loose particles around the edges of the dent. Run the sanding sponge over the dent itself to create a rough surface that the joint compound, which is used to fill the dent, will be able to adhere to easily. Dip a joint knife sideways into the container of joint compound and load about half of the blade. Run the knife over the dented area to smooth on the joint compound. Turn the blade at a 90 degree angle to the wall and run it over the area again to remove excess compound. Be sure to remove the extra compound, so that the area won't have bumps once the the substance dries. Check the area it it dries to determine if the dent has been completely filled. You may need to apply a second coat if the joint compound shrinks as it dries. Use a sponge sander or another fine sander to gently blend the area with the surrounding wall space after the joint compound has completely dried. You can also use a dampened sponge to smooth the edges. Joint compounds are relatively porous, so it's necessary to prime the repaired area before you paint it. Otherwise, the paint will look different from the surrounding area. Use a primer that matches the paint color. If possible, use the same one you originally used to paint the wall. If you have paint that also acts as a primer, priming the wall first isn't necessary. Once the primer is dry, use a soft cloth to paint over the area with the wall paint. Work gently and use strokes similar to the strokes you used to paint the surrounding wall so that the paint will look blended after it has dried.
A: Sand down the edges. Apply joint compound. Sand the area. Prime the area. Paint over the repair.

Q: This isn't necessarily a fabric you used in your actual quilt -- it could even be an opposing color to spice things up. Each strip should be the length of one side of the quilt and a few inches (at least 7.5 cm) wide. There are a variety of way to do this, but the simplest way is outlined below: Carefully trim off the selvage edges (the part that comes on the edges of fabric to keep it from fraying) of the borders themselves. Then lay 2 of the border strips across the middle of your quilt, lining up one end of the strips with the edge of the quilt. The other strip edges will hang over the side. Place a pin in the border strips where the quilt ends. And then carefully trim with your ruler and rotary cutter where that pin marks. Fold the border strip in half, end to end, to find the center. Pin the center of your strip to the center of the edge of your pieced quilt top and pin the ends of the strip to the ends of that quilt side. Space pins along the strip to secure the strip in place. It is not bad if your strip is slightly smaller than the pieced part of the quilt (the other two strips are longer), but this is why starting at the center and the ends when pinning is important. Pin opposite side of quilt and sew both borders on to the edges of the pieced portion. Press the borders open and flat working from the front side of the quilt. Repeat the process on the other edges. Lay the 2 remaining border strips across the center portion of the quilt. Place a pin to mark where to trim, cut off the remnants, pin and sew. Press once more.
A: Get four strips of fabric. Find your border length. Pin on the edges. Sew your border.

Q: When stored for long periods of time, dirty clothing attracts pests and can also produce unwanted odors, mold, or mildew. Unclean items that contain perfumes, lotions, oils, and/or perspiration can also cause fabric to stain and yellow. Before you pack up your winter wardrobe for several months, you should properly launder each article of clothing. Machine wash all of your non-delicate winter items. Dry clean any winter items made from natural materials, like silk, wool, and cashmere. Do not store these items in a plastic garment bag. Winter shoes come into contact with harsh salts and dirt. Prior to storing these items, thoroughly clean each pair. Remove built up salt and grime with a cotton cloth or shoe brush. Don't forget to polish and condition your leather boots. If your winter shoes are badly stained, consider having them professionally cleaned. To prolong the life of your winter shoes, clean them frequently throughout the winter too. As you wash, dry clean, and clean your winter items, set aside any pieces that appear damaged or broken. This might include coats with missing buttons, clothing with minor rips or stains, and/or shoes in need of new soles. Bring the items you are interested in fixing to a reputable seamstress or shoe repair professionals. If you don't have an interest in fixing the item, find a way to recycle it. While you sort through your clean winter apparel and accessories, set pieces aside to donate. These items may include garments that no longer fit you and/or items you didn't wear at all last season. There are several ways to recycle these items. Ask friends if they are interested in taking any of the pieces. Donate the items to a person in need. Bring the items to a donation center and ask for a tax deduction form. Sell the items to a consignment shop. Host a garage sale.
A: Machine wash or dry clean all of your winter items. Wipe down and polish your shoes. Send out items for repair. Donate items you will no longer wear.

Q: Most of the kissing that happens in middle school happens either between kids who are dating, or kids who are playing kissing games. To find a boyfriend or girlfriend: Think about people you already know that you might have some special feelings for. Telltale signs that you like someone include being nervous or shy around them, getting excited when you think about that person or see them in the halls, and wanting to spend lots of time together. Sometimes people don't find love interests among their friends, and if this happens to you, be open to trying new activities where you might meet new people, such as after-school activities, youth programs, and camps. If somebody asks you out, don't be afraid to say yes, even if you aren't sure you like the person. Sometimes it just takes getting to know somebody to find you have a real connection. It's not necessary to know this, but it can be a real confidence booster if you think the person you like feels the same way. It will also make it a lot easier to ask someone out if you think they like you too. If somebody likes you, that person might: Act nervous around you Show off in front of you Find common interests with you Like lots of things you do on Facebook and Twitter Message and text you often Steal glances at you in class, in the halls, or when you're out together You can't always wait around for love to find you, and sometimes you have to go out and grab it by the horns. If the person you're interested in doesn't happen to ask you out, take the initiative and do the asking. This can be a really scary thing to do, but sometimes putting yourself out there is the only way you'll get what you want. Chew some gum or pop a mint in your mouth before you ask so that your breath is minty and fresh. Find a time to ask the person when you two have a moment alone together, and that way neither of you will feel pressure from friends. Keep it casual, don't be nervous, and don't make a big deal about it. Say something like, "Hey, I was wondering if you would like to see a movie together sometime?" Or, "I was thinking that maybe if your free we could possibly hangout?!" Make sure you ask in person: don't send a note, and don't make a friend ask for you. Getting a boyfriend or girlfriend can be as easy as saying yes when someone asks you out or asking someone out who says yes. But once you get together with somebody, it's important to start out slow. This means: Taking time to talk and learn new things about each other. Holding hands sometimes. Doing things together a couple times a week, like going bowling, playing together at recess, or having lunch or dinner together.
A:
Think of someone you might want to be your boyfriend or girlfriend. Figure out if that person likes you back. Ask the person out. Start slow.
