article: Measure from your waist down to your ankles. Next, measure around your waist and both of your ankles. Record each of your measurements. If this is for an adult woman, measure the hips too. Note the distance between the belly button and the hips as well. You can find this type of fabric in the dance-wear section of a fabric store. Make sure that it is smooth, shiny, and preferably with a scale pattern. You can also buy "super hero" spandex from the cosplay section of a fabric store. Divide your waist measurement by 4, then make the a mark that distance from the fold. Measure down along the fold based on your waist-to-ankle measurement. Divide your ankle measurement by 4, then make another mark that distance from the fold. Leave enough space below the ankles for the fins.  Make sure that you are folding the fabric with the right sides facing in. If your fabric has scales on it, make sure that the scales are all pointing downwards. If this is for an adult woman, include the hip measurement as well. Remember to divide it by 4! If you included the hip measurement, you'll need to connect the waist mark to the hip mark, then the hip mark to the ankle mark. This completes your tail body. Fold the fin template in half, then place it onto the fabric. Make sure that the folded edges match up, and that the top edge of the template touches the bottom edge of the tail. Trace around the template, then pull it away. For a fancier tail, add a ragged, fringy edge to the bottom of the fin. You will need to add 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) to all edges, including the top. When you are done, cut a second piece of fabric just like the first one. Use the already-cut piece as a guide. If you added a ragged fringe to the bottom edge of your tail, you only need to add seam allowances to the outer edges of the fringe.

article: This is a coarse-grit sandpaper, so it will rough up your table. It’s okay, think of the completed table! Look closely at the table and notice its grain, or the lines in the wood. Go over the entire surface along the grain, including the table’s undersides and legs.  Use a belt sander to make the job easier. It likely will not leave any lasting marks as long as you pass over the table once. Sanding and staining isn’t mandatory. If you like the wood’s finish, leave it alone. You may wish to apply only a sealant to protect it from moisture. Go over the table a second time with a fine-grit sandpaper. Make sure you work along the grain again. Lightly sand down any rough spots, preparing them to receive the stainer. Now you have a lot of wood dust on the table along with the regular dust in your environment. Dampen a microfiber cloth or tack cloth in lukewarm water. Wipe down the entire table to remove the dust, then wait for the table to dry off. You may want to vacuum the table first before wiping it off. Use a hose attachment to help remove more dust. Put on a pair of rubber gloves, open your stainer, and mix it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, dip a foam brush or rag into the stainer. Wipe it all the way along the table’s grain without stopping. Cover the entire table before wiping up excess stainer with a rag.  You have several stainer options. Oil-based stainers are penetrative and lasting. Water-based stainers are easy to apply and don’t absorb evenly. Gel stainers are thick add a lot of color. To ensure the stain sets correctly, consider working on only 1 side of the table at a time. Let the stain dry overnight before attempting to add more. Chances are the stain will look a little dull and uneven at first. Stain the table again the same way you did before, then let it dry again. When you return, your table should be all set. Wipe off excess stainer with a rag before it dries. This will ensure you get an even stain that won’t turn too dark.

article:
When you're learning to count in a new language, it can help to learn the numbers in small groups. Practice with the first five numbers until you have the words memorized, then move on to the next five.  One is un (ahn). Two is deux (deuh). Three is trois (twah). Four is quatre (katr). Five is cinq (sank). After you've memorized numbers one through five and can rattle them off the top of your head, you're ready to move on to the next phase. Pay close attention to six, which is spelled the same in French and English but pronounced very differently.  Six is six (seese). Seven is sept (set). Eight is huit (wheet). Nine is neuf (nurf). Ten is dix (deese). Now that you've memorized all the number words, practice counting to ten. Just like in English, most other French numbers are based on these first ten numbers, so you have a good base to learn the rest of the numbers. If you're having a hard time remembering all the number words or putting them in the right order, search online for French counting songs for children. The melody may help you remember, just as you may have used counting songs to help you learn English. " The French word for "zero" can throw you off, because it's spelled almost exactly as it is in English, but is pronounced slightly differently. The accent mark in zéro indicates that the e should be pronounced with a long-a sound: ZAY-roh.
