INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The rods to hold your window dressing can be placed in several different locations creating a different look for your bay window. Deciding where to install the rods is the first step to getting a great window dressing.  You can install the rods on the wooden frame of the window using brackets. You can install the rods underneath the wooden frame of the window by using tension rods pressed between the sides of the window frame. You can also install the rods above the window by using brackets attached to the wall. You can make the rods extend a bit wider than the window to create the illusion of a bigger window. When choosing your curtain rods and tracks you need to know whether the curtains will pass around the whole of the bay window. If using non passing brackets then the curtains will need to be in multiple sections otherwise you cannot cover the windows with your soft furnishings. Use either a bay window curtain pole  or choose curtain tracks to bend effortlessly around your track. Ensure to get a bendable curtain track. Your window will have a different look depending on the type of rod you decide to install. Think about what look you are going for when you consider choosing the curtain rods.  You can pick a rod similar in color to your walls or window frame to create a smooth, blended look. Choosing a dark colored rod when you have a light colored window frame or walls will give you a bold contrast for an upscale look. Thick rods can give a playful look, but for a more traditional feel choose a thinner rod around 1 inch in diameter. Rods thinner than 1 inch can sometimes look rather cheap and take away from the nice effect of a dressed window. Mount the rods above the window frame using a drill and screwdriver. A laser level helps ensure you are mounting the rod straight.  Mark the location where you want to hang your mounting brackets with a pencil. Drill a hole in the drywall where the brackets will be mounted. Insert a plastic wall anchor into the hole. Use an anchor that is rated for at least 25 lbs. Screw the mounting brackets into the wall anchor. Hang the rod on the mounting brackets.

SUMMARY: Decide where to put the rods. Choose the type of rods you want. Curtain rods come in many different colors, sizes, and styles. Install the rods.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a measuring tape to measure the window width-wise from one end of the window to the other. Start measuring at the outer end of the window's frame on one side and end at the outer frame on the other side. After you measure the width of the window, add 3 inches (7.6 cm) to both sides. This will give you a general sense of the length of the rod you need if you're keeping it just above the curtains, which is the most common style. For example, say your window's width was 30 inches (76 cm). Add 6 inches (15 cm) to get the rod size of 36 inches (91 cm). Rods kept inside the trim mount give a very streamlined, practical style. The rod will be the same length as the width of the window. For example, if window's width was 30 inches (76 cm), your rod's length would also be 30 inches (76 cm). A rod kept below  the trim mount can help show off decorative window frames and molds. Rods positioned below the trim mount are generally 3 inches (7.6 cm) to 5 inches (13 cm) longer than the width of the window. This helps provide full coverage, even with the top of the window exposed. For example, say your window's width is 30 inches (76 cm). For a below trim rod, your rod should be 33 inches (84 cm).

SUMMARY: Measure the width of each window. Add 3 inches (7.6 cm) to each side for a rod above the trim mount. Use the exact window width if your rod is inside the trim mount. Add 3 inches (7.6 cm) to 5 inches (13 cm) for a rod below the trim.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Flatten the gum into a disk, just like you would in the normal snap method. Stick your tongue through the disk without breaking it, then withdraw your tongue and clamp the edges together to make a a sealed air bubble. Chew to pop this bubble and make a snapping noise. Blowing into the bubble as you pull out your tongue might help. Some people find it faster to fold the gum in half instead. Bring one end over to the other, sealing the sides and ends with your teeth and the sides of your mouth. If you manage to do this correctly, you'll end up with a "dumpling" of air, which pops just like an ordinary bubble. If you want to snap gum many times as you chew, you'll have to practice one of the two steps above until you can do it rapidly or even unconsciously. Once you learn these larger motions, you can try making the bubbles smaller and smaller, until you can form them just by folding the gum over and chewing. Chewing too hard or too soft will prevent the bubbles from forming and making noise, so it takes quite a bit of practice before you can get a steady stream of snaps.

SUMMARY:
Form the gum into a bubble. Fold it into a dumpling shape instead. Practice snapping repeatedly.
