INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Measure the length of your board and mark where you plan to make your cut with a pencil. Use a miter saw to cut an 8 feet (2.4 m) board down to size. If you don't have access to a miter saw, set the board on a workbench or between 2 saw horses and use a handsaw.  Wear eye protection while working with power tools to prevent sawdust from getting in your eyes. You can work with any kind of wood you want. If you want to be cost-effective, use pine or oak. For an upscale look that's also durable, use maple or walnut. Use another 8 ft (2.4 m) board, and cut the 3 shorter pieces with a miter saw or hand saw. Make sure the edges are straight so they lay flush with the other boards. The size of the table you build can vary depending on how much space you have. Lay the boards so the narrow sides are on the ground. Place 2 of the shorter boards between the ends of the longer ones to form corners. Put the third board in the middle to form a support beam. If you want the corners to look cleaner, cut the ends of each board to a 45-degree angle before putting them together. Use 2 in (5.1 cm) finishing nails on the sides of the 42 in (110 cm) boards. Pound 2 nails through the boards on each end of the shorter pieces to hold them in place. Make sure the corners are flush as you secure the boards. This forms the apron on the underside of the table so you can easily attach the tabletop and legs.

SUMMARY: Cut 2 pieces of 1 in × 4 in (2.5 cm × 10.2 cm) wood to 42 in (110 cm) long. Saw 3 1 in × 4 in (2.5 cm × 10.2 cm) boards to 24 in (61 cm) long. Arrange the boards in a rectangle on the floor. Nail the corners of the boards together to secure them.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need 9 plastic straws to complete this bridge. Use regular length drinking straws. Purchase these from your local supermarket. Balance the ends of the bridge between 2 flat surfaces and let the your straw bridge cover the gap. Stacks of big blocks or books work well.  If you feel like a challenge, add more straws to your bridge to extend its length. You may need to use extra tape and cut straws to support the extra lengths. Try using piles of books to balance the bridge on. Place a small weight on the middle of the bridge. If the bridge can hold the weight, add a little bit more weight. Keep adding weight until the bridge collapses. Measure how much weight the bridge held and see if you can build another bridge that holds more weight next time. Have a competition with your friends and see whose bridge can hold the most weight.

SUMMARY: Gather 9 straight straws. Place the bridge between 2 flat surfaces. Measure how much weight the bridge can hold.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Vintage cuts and patterns fit well with the cerebral emo image, so thrift stores are a great place to shop (and you’ll save money!). Look for prints like polka dots, plaid or a checkered design.  Look for 70’s style jackets. Those are very popular amongst emo girls, and they go with everything from jeans to dresses.  Also look for 50’s style vintage dresses, especially halter dresses or dresses in an A-line cut. Look for understated colors, rather than flashy neons or pastels. Black is usually a big component in an emo wardrobe, but you can still wear color. Look for classic primary or jewel-toned items.  There really are no hard and fast rules about colors, though, so if you like something, get it. You can always accessorize to include different colors, too. Emo dresses usually come in two different cuts: jersey or tunic dresses or fuller, A-line dresses. Try to buy dresses that fit into one of these two categories.  Dresses can and should include cool details, like a corset bodice or shoelace detailing. If you prefer skirts, try to buy them short and pleated. Wearing dresses can be hard, especially in the winter. To make your look more seasonally appropriate, add leggings or tights. These should be brightly colored or striped and can include cool textures, like fishnets.  If your tights or leggings have a tear in them, even better! You can also wear leggings or tights under cut-off shorts or miniskirts. Emo girls love to express themselves, and graphic tees are a great way to do this. Buy a t-shirt with a band you like or quote that is meaningful to you. Hoodies are also a great (warm) way to express yourself.  Tees and hoodies should fit well and should not be oversized to the point where you’re swimming in them. Pair your tees and hoodies with a slightly faded, fitted pair of jeans. To add a bit more flair, wear a pair of striped socks over your jeans. A pair of Converse shoes are the perfect touch to complete any emo kid outfit. Converse are the most popular shoes for emo girls, but Vans are a close second. Either pair of shoe is great to wear with pants or skirts and dresses.  Ballet flats are also a good option if you want to go a little more girly. To make your shoes more fun, try switching out the original laces for something more colorful. Emo style is all about mixing cute with hardcore. Buy a headband with a bow on it, or a studded belt. For maximum effect, wear more than one belt at a time. If you have piercings, feel free to rock them.  Chunky bracelets are also very popular in the emo girl community. If you’re wearing denim, try ironing on or sewing on patches to give your look a little more flair.

SUMMARY: Shop vintage. Choose your colors. Stock up on dresses. Add leggings. Wear comfortable t-shirts. Wear the right shoes. Accessorize.
