Article: To ensure your mattress fits the bed frame properly, you will need to measure the base of the frame. Once you have the measurements, you can determine how much material you need to make a mattress and pillows. To make the mattress and the pillows, you will need the following supplies:  A fat quarter of fabric A dish towel Loose stuffing Buttons Needle and coordinating thread Doll needle Buttons (optional) Sewing machine (optional) Then, cut the towel in half. Place the right sides together and sew all the edges. Be sure to leave a 2-inch opening on one edge. Pull the corners into a triangle. Use the needle and thread to sew the box corners or use a sewing machine if you have access to one. Turn the dish towel right side out and use your hands to gently stuff the mattress until it is your desired thickness. Avoid overstuffing the mattress and make sure the stuffing is dispersed evenly. Then, sew the opening closed. At this point you can add buttons to the mattress if you would like. As a finishing touch, you can add a quilting effect to the mattress to make it look more polished. Start by folding the fat quarter of fabric in half, with the right sides facing up. Then, sew along the two open edges, leaving the third edge open. Flip the fabric right side out and fill it with quilt batting that has been cut to fit the mattress. You can then hand sew the open side closed or use a sewing machine. Finish the quilt effect by sewing straight horizontal and vertical lines at even intervals across the quilt. This will also help to secure the batting in place. You can use scrap fabric and/or another dish towel to create pillows for the bed to finish it off. Measure the fabric or dish towel so it is small enough to make pillows that fit the bed. Then, cut out the fabric. Place the right sides together and sew all the edges, leaving a 2-inch opening on one edge. Flip the fabric right side out and stuff the pillow with stuffing. Then, sew the opening closed. Finish the quilt effect by sewing straight horizontal and vertical lines at even intervals across the quilt. This will also help to secure the batting in place. Lay the mattress and pillows on the bed frame. Test out the frame by placing your doll on it the next time she is ready to go to sleep.

Article: There are many ways to attach the tops of the stringers to the structure. One easy way is to screw metal joist hangers to the floor joists or deck supports. Drive screws through the holes in the joist hangers, putting one edge flush with the end of the stringer and the other against the joist. Set the bottoms of the stringers on a firm footing like concrete, wood flooring, or even a block of treated lumber on top of gravel (for outside stairs). Stringers are usually made from 1 in × 6 in (2.5 cm × 15.2 cm) wood. Though you can do without them, screwing these planks vertically between each step will make the stairs look nicer, and last longer.  Cut 1 in × 6 in (2.5 cm × 15.2 cm) boards to the width of your stairs. Secure each stringer with 2.5 in (6.4 cm) screws. Ensure that the riser height is exactly the same for each step. Cut lumber to be at or slightly longer than the tread run in width, and as long as the stairs are wide (or just wider, if you prefer a slight overhang on the ends of your stairs. Secure the treads to the steps of the stringers with 2.5 in (6.4 cm) screws over each stringer.  For instance, you could cut 1 in × 10 in (2.5 cm × 25.4 cm) lumber to the width of the stairs, and use this for your treads. For a special touch, use two boards and leave a 1⁄8–1⁄4 inch (0.32–0.64 cm) between them. For instance, you could cut 1 in × 5 in (2.5 cm × 12.7 cm) boards to the width of the stairs, and install two on each step, with a gap between them. To make extra-strong steps place 2 in × 4 in (5.1 cm × 10.2 cm) boards on both sides of the center stringer under the treads. Trim boards can give your stairs a little more class by covering up the ends of the risers and treads. Cut 2 in × 12 in (5.1 cm × 30.5 cm) boards to the same length and angle as your stringers, but do not cut step notches into them. Place the cut lumber over the ends of your stairs, and fix into place with 2.5 in (6.4 cm) screws. Consider treating the wood against the elements, especially if the stairs will be outdoors. Even if you're building indoor-use stairs, finishing them will be a safeguard against everyday wear and tear, and beautify the end product. Almost any varnish, stain, or paint will work just fine for stairs. You can also use non-slip paint or put non-slip adhesive pads on the stairs.

Article: Large and sturdy purses should be kept together while smaller or flexible purses can be placed somewhere else. Make sure that similar bags are together so that if you need a certain type of bag, you can look over your options. For example, if you have clutches that you like to take when you go out at night, keep these together. If the purse can stand up on its own, keep it on a shelf. This includes larger bags, such as tote bags, or bags made out of a sturdy material, like leather or canvas. This will preserve the bag’s shape without distorting the handles. Cubbies work great to help keep purses organized and upright. This works well for small, lightweight purses (like satchels or shoulder strap bags) and for bags that can’t sit up on their own (like hobo bags). Make sure that the purse is empty before hanging it so that  the handles do not stretch out. You can hang purses using:  Command hooks Coat racks Hangers Shower hooks on a closet rod S-hooks Clutches often do not have straps, but they can’t stand upright either. A shoe organizer will keep them separated. Put 1  or 2 clutches in each compartment. If you only have 1 or 2 clutches, keep them in separate shoe boxes.  Try to avoid stacking clutches on top of one another. This can cause scratches or bending. You can also use a magazine or file organizer from a stationary or office supply store. Stick a clutch in each divider so that they are standing vertically. If you have two or three purses you use regularly, you may want to keep them by the door. Install coat hooks to hang the purses or let them sit on a side table. If you don't use certain purses as often, you may want to keep them out of the way. Designate a closet with shelves where you can store your purses while they are not being used. The floor can cause dirt and mildew to build up on your purse. Whether you decide to hang your purses or put them on a shelf, keep them from touching the floor.
