INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whether you are trimming bangs, or creating bangs for the first time, the front section of hair should be dry and combed out before cutting. Use a comb to section off only the area you wish to cut, and put the rest in a ponytail or clipped out of the way. Your bangs should not extend further than your brow line. Also, they'll look best if they follow a triangle pattern with the top point being in the center of your hair about 3 inches (7.6cm) above the bottom of your hairline. A common problem when cutting bangs is cutting them too short. This is why bangs are best cut when hair is dry. Cut the bangs longer than you ultimately want them. This way, you can figure out the shape you want, and go back to make adjustments. Bangs are not cut straight across. Instead, they curve down towards the temples to help create a frame for the face. However, it depends on the look your are going for. If you are simply trimming bangs, you will bring the comb through underneath the bangs where you want them to end. If you are making new bangs, use the comb to section off the hair you want to cut. Depending on how thick the hair is, bangs usually start right in front of the middle of the crown and angle downward on both sides towards the temples. You can play around with the look you prefer. Make a straight cut across your forehead, directly below the comb. Work your way toward one side, following the curve. By starting in the middle, you will have more control over how short the bangs end up. Angle the scissors down when working your way to the edge to create a gradual curve. Once you have one side finished, bring the scissors back to the middle, and cut the other side. Use your finger tips to pull down on the hair between your forefinger and middle finger. See if the bangs are the same length on each side. If they are not even, carefully trim the side that is longer. Cut tiny amounts at a time so you do not accidentally cut the longer side shorter, which may result in bangs that are shorter than you want. After your bangs are even, hold the scissors vertically at a 45 degree angle. Trim the edge with tiny cuts up into the hair, softening the look. Be careful not to remove any of the length. Use a makeup brush or blow dryer to get rid of those tiny trims. If the bangs do end up shorter than you were going for, do not worry. Hair grows at a rate of 1/2" per month on average, and that makes a big difference when it comes to bangs.

SUMMARY: Prepare your bangs. Cut at a curve. Gather the hair. Cut in the middle. Check for symmetry. Soften the edges by cutting at a 45 degree angle. Sweep away cut hair.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Tear off 8 to 10 equal-sized pieces of aluminum foil; make sure that each piece is big enough to cover your face. Stack the pieces together, then press down on them. Scrunch the pieces, then straighten them back out. This will help them "stick" together better. This will create the base of your mask. If you prefer, you can use a full-face plastic mask from the craft store instead. Click here to continue. Take the entire stack of foil, and place it over your face. Gently press down on the foil to mold it over your nose, mouth, and eye sockets. Be sure to mold it against the sides of your face too. The mask should cover your entire face, from hairline to chin. Use a hole puncher to make a hole on each side of the mask at about ear level. Cut two 22in (56cm) pieces of string, then tie each string to each hole. Fit the mask over your face, then tie the strings together into a bow at the back of your head. If you prefer a decorative mask, hammer a nail into the wall, then hang the mask from the nail. Use thin ribbon for a fancier mask. Match the color to the embellishments on your mask.
Summary: Stack 8 to 10 pieces of aluminum foil together to make a thick sheet. Place the foil over your face and mold it over your features. Poke holes in the sides of the mask, then add string, if desired.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Purchase a small tube of sealant meant for fixing aquariums, or other leaks. Pipe a thin band around the joint between the gasket and the bottle. If you need to, use a popsicle stick or a toothpick to smooth the sealant down. Allow the sealant to cure. You may need to seal the area between the gasket and the tubing itself. You don't really have to do this, but it will make filling the bottle easier. You can also cut it off only partway so that it's still attached to the rest of the bottle by a "hinge." This will allow you to partially close the opening.

SUMMARY:
Seal the area around the gasket and tubing. Cut the top part off of the bottle, if desired.
