Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Print your pattern. Cut out your piece. Case the leather. Trace your design onto the leather. Cut your main lines into the leather using a swivel knife. Decide which areas will need to be raised or lowered. Bevel or emboss the edges to make your design pop. Use your stamps to create designs and add shading or texture. Weigh the leather down as necessary.

Answer: The easiest and cheapest way to make your pattern is to simply print it out at home on normal printer paper. You can also trace the design onto wax or tracing paper. However, you should never use carbon paper or draw a design directly onto the leather. This is an optional step, as you can do your leather tooling freehand or by creating your own pattern. Cut the leather into the size and shape of the final piece (a belt if you're making a belt, the side of a saddle, the long rectangle of a wallet, etc). Do not ever use scissors to cut this type of leather however. Scissors are only suitable for very thin, fabric-like leather. You should instead use a box cutter or x-acto knife. Casing leather is just a fancy word for getting it wet, but that doesn't mean you should go straight for some water. Water is perfectly usable but a casing solution (which you can buy from leather stores and online) will help protect your leather from water stains. Just apply your liquid of choice over the surface area that you'll be working with, using a spray bottle or sponge.  You don't want to soak or over-wet the leather, however. Apply the liquid in moderation. Generally you don't want to case a single area more than once. If you need to stop working for awhile, wrap the leather in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge. Wait until the leather starts to turn back to its original color and then start tracing your design. Simply align your pattern and then use a dull pencil or modeling stylus to "draw" over the design on the paper. You should not press hard. Lift up the paper and you will see that the casing allows the light pressure of your drawing to transfer the design temporarily onto the leather. With this temporary outline, you will want to cut the main lines of the design onto the leather. Hold the swivel knife like a pen you're clicking down the end of, with your pointer finger in the saddle and your thumb and middle finger on the barrel. Hold it so that the blade is straight up and down and place the back corner into the leather. Then, pull the blade towards you. Keep your wrist straight and turn the blade as necessary by moving your fingers on the barrel.  The blade should always be pulled towards you, so you will have to adjust your leather accordingly. It is a good idea to spend a lot of time practicing with the swivel knife on scrap leather before starting a serious project. This will help you learn how to move the blade to get the look you want. You can change the speed, pressure, and length of the stroke to get different looks. For example, a quick, short pull can create a whisker look. With your main lines cut into the leather, you'll want to decide which areas should be lower and which should be raised. You'll also want to think about which areas will need shading or texture. Planning this out ahead of time and mapping it on your sketch can be useful in creating a professional final look. You can use tools like the modeling spoon to press down the edges on one side of the design or the other, in order to make it look raised or make it look embedded. Just make sure to stay consistent which which areas get raised or lowered! Now you can pull out your stamps! Place a stamping tool against your leather, so it is standing up vertically but resting evenly on the leather. Tap or double-tap the mallet down vertically against the top of the leather tool to imprint the design. Begin by using a scrap piece of leather until you realize how much pressure you must exert.  The mallet should not be slammed down on the tool. When you use a stamp, the impression should not break the surface of the leather and create "walls" allowing you to see the sides. The tool should also be held loosely, so that it can bounce back up after being tapped. In your practice, aim to stamp the leather only once per placement on the leather. Some larger stamps may require two or more strikes of the mallet. In this case, line the stamp up again with the imprints you have already made and strike it again. Tooling, especially tooling large areas on leather, will make the leather warp. An easy way to combat warping is to weigh the piece down when you are done so that it dries in the appropriate shape. You don't need to use anything too heavy and be careful of placing anything with a texture onto the wet leather.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: See your doctor to rule out other conditions. Talk to your doctor about managing your panic attacks. See a therapist if your panic attacks interfere with your life. Check with your doctor before using supplements.

Answer: In some cases, panic attack symptoms may be part of an underlying medical condition. This is especially true for chest pain, shortness of breath, and rapid heartbeat. If you’re having panic attack symptoms, visit your primary care physician to rule out potential medical causes. This will help you get the right treatment for your condition.  Your doctor will talk to you about your symptoms and may do diagnostic tests. Then, they’ll diagnose your condition and talk to you about your treatment options. If you have panic attacks, tell your doctor that you'd like to treat the condition naturally. They may have some recommendations. Try not to worry because panic attacks aren’t dangerous. However, they can be really upsetting and may make it hard for you to get through your day if they occur often. Ask your doctor what you can do to help manage your condition. Visit your doctor if you have the following symptoms of a panic attack:  Sense of impending doom Loss of control Rapid heart rate Trembling, shaking, and sweating Shortness of breath or throat tightness Chest pain Chills or hot flashes Nausea or abdominal pain Dizziness, lightheadedness, or faintness Numbness or tingling Feeling detached It’s always best to work with a therapist if you have panic attacks, but it’s essential that you get help if your panic attacks make it hard for you to get through your day or maintain relationships. Your therapist will help you learn new ways to cope with your anxiety and panic. Additionally, they’ll help you manage your panic attacks so they occur less often. Ask your doctor for a referral or search online for a therapist who’s experienced in treating panic attacks. In particular, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a useful form of treatment for panic attacks. CBT for panic attacks is focused on changing your thoughts about your panic attacks in order to change your feelings (anxiety, fear) and behaviors. There are some herbal supplements might reduce anxiety if used properly. Common ones include chamomile, valerian root, passionflower, and St. John's Wort. While supplements are generally safe, they aren't right for everyone. Your supplements could interfere with medications you're taking, worsen your medical conditions, or trigger an allergic reaction. Talk to your doctor to make sure supplements are safe for you to take. Tell your doctor about the medications and supplements you're already taking. Explain that you're hoping to treat your panic attacks with supplements. Your doctor may be able to recommend additional supplements for you.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add vinyl word art to the mirror to create an inspirational message. Place an image around the edge of a mirror for a quick, decorative touch. Attach fabric flowers around a corner of the mirror for a floral effect. Use shells, sports memorabilia, or beads to make a fun locker mirror. Create a pebbled edge around the mirror for a fun garden addition. Use washi tape to add a small, creative pattern to the mirror.

Answer:
Choose a word or a short phrase that would be a good message to have on the mirror. Head to your local craft store and look for either individual letters or full word stickers that you can use. Place the stickers either at the top, bottom or along the sides of the mirror. This means that they won't get in the way while the mirror is in use, but they still add a fun and decorative touch.  Choose an uplifting phrase such as, “Hello beautiful,”, "Smile!", or “I love your style!" Try out different placements before you stick the stickers down so that you are happy with the location. Choose a favorite image or design from wrapping paper, a book or a magazine. Carefully cut it out and make sure that it's small enough to not cover too much of the mirror. Glue a wooden base to the back of the mirror to create a frame. Apply glue to the back of the image and arrange it so that it sticks onto both the mirror and the frame.  This works best for small, round mirrors, such as a tabletop or makeup mirror. Try to place the image around the edges of the mirror rather than in the center to ensure that it won't block your vision. An example of this design is cutting out a floral pattern from some wrapping paper and arranging it so that it curls around your face when you look in it. Alternatively, find a picture of your favorite artwork and use this to decorate an edge of your mirror. Cut the stems off the flowers and arrange them around the mirror. Use a heavy-duty adhesive to stick the flowers onto the mirror. Use either identical flowers that all match or a pick range of different colors and styles. For a rectangular mirror, attach flowers down 1 side of the mirror, around a bottom corner, and across the base. For round mirrors, try attaching bigger flowers to 1 edge and frame them with smaller flowers. Head to a craft store and find small bits and pieces that capture your interests or imagination. Arrange everything that you want to include on the mirror first. Try to stick to decorating the edges of the mirror rather than the center. Then apply a small blob of glue to the back of each item and wait until it dries before hanging it up in the locker.  Locker mirrors are a great way to add creativity and personalization to your child's locker. Other decorations could include feathers, photos, pressed flowers or small trinkets. Using mirrors in the garden is a creative way to open up the space. Either choose a variety of pebbles and small stones from your own garden or purchase a pebble mix from a garden center. Create an irregular mosaic effect by choosing interesting and unique stones in a variety of colors. Lay the mirror flat while you arrange the stones around the edge and then use a strong adhesive to attach each pebble when you are happy.  Ideally the stones should be relatively flat so that they create a smooth, pebbled surround for the mirror. You can either hang this mirror on an exterior wall of your house or place it in your favorite spot in the garden to make it look bigger. This mirror can also work well close to a water feature. Not only can you use washi tape to liven up a mirror frame, but you can also use it to add a bright touch to the mirror itself. Choose a simple pattern for the washi tape on the mirror, such as 2 horizontal stripes across the bottom or 2 diagonal stripes across a corner. Measure out the length of washi tape that you will need and carefully stick it down onto the mirror.  Try not to add too much washi tape as the mirror may look cluttered or crowded. There are hundreds of different styles of washi tape, so explore all of your different options for colors and patterns to get creative.
