In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Felt is especially nice to use for children’s crafts because it’s both soft and durable. Try cutting felt letters for your child so they can practice spelling. Or if you’re making a card or gift for a child, attach felt die cuts to accentuate the item. Be careful when pulling the felt shape out of your die cut machine. If the felt didn’t cut all the way through, you can break it by pulling too hard on an edge that’s still attached to the rest of the felt. If you use patchwork patterns while quilting, using die cuts for your patches is a perfect way to go. You’ll get a uniform shape in your patches without the tedious work of tracing and cutting them by hand. Choose thin woven fabrics like denim, silks, cottons, or twills in colors and patterns you like at your local craft store. Depending on your machine and the type of fabric, you may be able to cut several layers of fabric at a time to get more patches in less time. Using colorful patterned fabric from your local craft store, cut fabric flower shapes that are similar in shape but different sizes. After you cut each flower size, layer them from big to small, with the big one at the bottom and the smallest on top. Fold the layered flowers in half and sew them together right at the center using an overhand stitch.  Next fold the flower in the opposite direction and make a few overhand stitches. This will create pinches in the fabric that give the flowers some dimension. Be sure to get through all the layers as you’re sewing. When you’re finished sewing the flower, sew a button at the center. You can then attach this flower to any jacket or other clothing items. Or you can make several matching flowers for the same piece of clothing for a cute customized look. Cut flower or star shapes into leather with your die cut machine to create cute leather jewelry. You can layer the leather shapes into designs for necklaces, bracelets, or earrings. Once your shapes are cut, you can add color with tints or inks, embroider designs with colorful thread, and make the leather shiny with a leather water sealant before attaching the design to your metal necklace, bracelet, or earring pieces.
Summary: Cut felt for a soft touch. Choose any woven fabric for quilting. Create clothing accents like 3D fabric flowers. Use thin leather for jewelry or other embellishments.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can install a new sink with basic tools and new components that match the valves already installed in your plumbing. Make sure you have:  Silicone caulking Plumbers' wrenches, either pipe wrench or slip-joint pliers Basin wrench Set of plumbing sockets Typically located beneath the sink, it's critical that you shut off the water supply to the sink before you remove it. If the valves are not beneath the sink, then you'll have to turn off the main water supply. This is typically located on a lower level or the basement near the water meter. To test, turn on the hot and cold water on your sink and make sure no water comes out before proceeding. If you're replacing a sink, you'll obviously need to remove the sink that's in place before installing the new one. Disconnect the supply and drain lines from the faucet, using locking pliers or a crescent wrench. A small amount of water may leak out when you do this, which is normal. Just use a bucket or a towel to handle the water that leaks out.  Locate the large nut that connects the sink to the drain and disconnect it. This metal or plastic nut will be located either in the wall or the floor. Use your hands or locking pliers to unscrew the nut. Remove the current sink by sliding the edge of a putty knife around the perimeter of the bathroom sink, loosening any caulk that connects it. Pull it loose. All new sinks should come with a template of the mounting opening, marking the location of the faucet holes, including a cutout for the sink. You can use the template to make sure the sink fits in the desired location. If it doesn't, you may need to do some trimming or, or cut the entire opening if you're installing a sink in a house under construction. Most new sinks come with clips and screws that are used to hold the sink in place. If you buy a faucet, sometimes it'll come with the drain and tailpiece for the sink. If it isn't included, get one before you start. The supply lines for the faucet need to correspond to the faucet and valves under the sink, so make sure they match before you get started.
Summary: Get the necessary tools for the job. Turn off the water supply valves. Remove the old sink, if necessary. Measure the new sink to make sure it fits the space.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Place the baking rack in the bottom third of the oven. Start by chopping off the top part with the stem and discarding it. Then, cut the squash in half vertically from top to bottom using a sawing motion with your knife. Pry the two halves apart when you are done. Be sure to scrape all of the stringy bits out. Discard the pulp, but consider saving the seeds for roasting in another recipe. Place the squash cut-side-down on the cutting board. Cut it into slices, like bread, going from one end to the other. You can do this using your fingers or a basting brush. It might be easier to combine the spices in a jar first, and then sprinkle them over both sides of the squash. Alternatively, you could also toss the squash slices with the spices, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. If you don't have cumin, coriander, or cayenne pepper, try: 1 minced garlic clove and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh sage, thyme, or rosemary. Keep the rack in the bottom third of the oven. The squash is ready when it starts to turn brown and soft. You can serve it with the skin, or you can cut the skin away before serving it. Enjoy the squash while it is still hot.
Summary:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Cut the acorn squash in half. Scoop out the seeds and pulp using a metal spoon. Cut the squash into ½-inch (1.27 centimeters) thick slices. Coat both sides of the squash slices with olive oil. Sprinkle the squash slices with the spices, salt, and pepper. Place the squash slices on the baking sheet, then roast them for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve the squash.
