Many tables have a wooden or particle board layer beneath the slate, allowing staples to be attached. You can check whether this is true of your table by examining the perimeter or vertical edge of your table. If there is only slate, use the instructions for gluing the felt instead.  Note: You will need a "hammer tacker" or manual stapler, or a staple gun. Typically, the felt comes in one large piece, and includes instructions for removing pieces to fit each railing. Follow these instructions carefully, or the cut pieces may not fit your table. With some felt, you can make a one inch (2.5 cm) cut, then rip the felt by hand in a straight line. Other felt may require cutting with a razor blade or box cutter. Look for a sticker or other label that tells you which side is face up. If it is unlabeled, and you cannot easily tell which side is the playing surface, consult a professional. Different types of felt have a different feel, so it's best not to guess if you are not familiar with the feel of that type.  Hang more of the extra felt over the foot end, and not much on the head end where you will begin installation. Check now for rips, scratches, or other defects that could require you to get a refund or replacement. Use your hammer tacker or staple gun to attach the felt to the wooden or particle board lining of the table at one corner of the head end. Have an assistant help you stretch the felt across the head end until there are no wrinkles present, keeping the overhang parallel with the table edge. Staple about every 3 inches (7.5 cm) along this stretched edge, ending at the second corner. Professionals play on a very tightly stretched surface, which allows for greater speed. This is not necessarily desirable for most players, however, who may enjoy playing on a slower table. Always stretch at least tightly enough to remove all wrinkles, however. Move to one of the long sides of the table, and have an assistant help you pull the felt taut along its length. Staple at roughly 3 inch (7.5 cm) increments, but make sure to staple on either side of the side pocket. Pulling the felt over each pocket when stapling on either side will give you extra material to work with when lining the pockets. Pull the felt tight from the last unstapled corner. Pay special attention to this, as an inconsistent pull can cause wrinkles in your table. If the previous staples make it impossible to create a flat surface with this pull, with the overhang parallel with the table end, you may need to remove a couple staples with a staple puller and try again. Once this is pulled to a smooth surface with the desired tightness, staple the short foot end and remaining right sides along their lengths. Remember to staple on each side of the side pocket. Make three slits in the felt directly over each pocket, then fold the loose felt down into the pocket and staple it inside the pocket. Once this is done, use a pair of scissors or a razor blade to snip off the excess felt.

Summary: Use this method if there is a wooden or particle board backing. Cut the felt into pieces for the table and railing. Roll the felt out face up over table. Stretch the felt across the head end and staple it on the vertical edge in several places. Repeat the process on the left side. Staple on the foot end, then the right side. Trim the material at the pockets and staple it inside.


If you just got a brand new bedroom suite, a new TV, or a new gaming system, you’re probably excited to show your friend.  Invite them over to hang out and tell them how happy you are about your new stuff.  It’s always fun to share your cool stuff with friends. Don’t brag about your possessions, though.  No one likes a braggart.  Simply say, “Hey, Kelly, I got a new Playstation.  Wanna play?” When you’re on vacation, take cool pictures and post them.  Or maybe your parents threw you the best birthday party ever. Have someone take a few pictures.  Having these pictures can also ensure that you remember all the cool people and experiences in your life.  For example, on Snapchat, you might put a video of the view from your hotel room on your Snap story and make the caption “Views from my vacay.” On Instagram, you might post a selfie of your new haircut or the car you got for your birthday. Do you have great eyes?  Accentuate them with mascara or eyeshadow.  Or perhaps you have nice arms?  Wear a muscle shirt to show off your physique. You’ll be getting compliments all day and you’ll feel great about yourself. Go out on dates and talk to each other regularly to maintain your relationship.  Post pics of you and your bae doing cute things together.  If they get you a gift or do something sweet, post that, too. Make sure you aren’t using them to make your friend jealous; no one likes to be used. In the midst of this jealousy plot, don’t forget about having fun.  Get ice cream with friends, go to the movies with your sister, or go shoot some hoops with your Pops.  The more fun you have, the happier you’ll be.  You might even forget about making your friend jealous altogether. Remember that life is about family and friends!  Don’t get so caught up in making your friend jealous that you lose your friendship with them.

Summary: Invite them to your house when you get new stuff. Use social media to post pics of you having fun. Show off your best assets. Spend time with your significant other. Plan something fun everyday.


Choose nylon tights that you would not care to get dirty. The majority of tights are made of nylon and microfiber, followed by cotton and microfiber. Check the tag of your tights; you will most likely own many made of nylon. Nylon tights will not harm your clothing. You can wash the nylons, and they'll be good as new. Blow at the stain to remove any excess powder sitting on top of the fabric. You can either blow on the stain using your breath, or use a hairdryer.   Make sure to use the hairdryer on the coolest setting. Using heat will only help the makeup set into the fabric, which you do not want. Hold the clothing taut and horizontal in front of you. Blow the makeup completely away from you so none of the powdered makeup gets back on your clothing. Holding a section of the tights in one hand, use them to gently brush away at the stain. This brushing motion will pick up any remaining powdered makeup. Keep brushing until all the makeup is gone.
Summary: Find an old pair of tights to remove powders like foundation, blushes, and eyeshadows. Remove excess makeup from clothing. Brush the stain with tights.
