Problem: Article: Choose a sweatshirt or turtleneck the same color as your tentacles. You will be sewing the tentacles onto this, so pick an old one or buy one secondhand. A hood makes it easy to attach the eyes, but it is not mandatory. Sew them on starting from the inside of the shirt, so the stitches don't show. Use sturdy thread that can support the tentacles' weight, and keep sewing until the tentacles are well secured. You'll want three tentacles on each side, below your arms.  Bend the wires on the tentacles to change their position. For greater comfort, offset the tentacles a little forward, so your actual arms can hang at your side. If your sweatshirt doesn't have a hood, find a knit hat close to the same color as your shirt. If you can't find one and have extra tights fabric left over from earlier, you can glue or stitch the edges together to make a cap. To mimic the bulging eyes of an octopus, cut a ping pong ball in half. Draw a rectangular pupil onto each half using a permanent marker or black paint. Googly eyes are another option. Glue the eyes onto the hood or cap of your costume. Place them as symmetrically as you can, with the pupils in the same position.
Summary: Find a colorful top. Secure tentacles to the sides of the sweatshirt. Choose a cap. Make octopus eyes. Attach the eyes to the side of your head.

Problem: Article: Build up some momentum by running towards the vault. It’s necessary to run fast so that you have a powerful handspring. When you’ve reached the springboard, do a hurdle onto it in order to move horizontally through the air towards the vault table. Make sure to keep your legs slightly bent, your backside tucked under, and your core squeezed. Plant your hands onto the vault table at about a 20 or 30 degree angle and use your momentum to bring your legs up into a handstand. Once you’ve reached a vertical position, quickly turn your vertical momentum into horizontal momentum by shrugging your shoulders and pushing off the vault table. This pushing motion is called blocking. As your legs are coming down, focus on making sure your feet contact the mat slightly in front of where the rest of your body is. This will allow you to rebound upwards instead of shooting forward or falling back.
Summary: Run towards the vault. Hurdle onto the springboard. Go into a handstand on top of the vault table. Block off of the vault table. Land with your feet in front of you.

Problem: Article: Take the mattress outside every month or two and leave it out during a warm and sunny day. The sunlight will vaporize the moisture that has accumulated in the mattress. It will also kill any mold build-up. Create a mixture that is half vinegar and half water. Use one cup of white vinegar and one cup of water. Dip a sponge or cloth into the mixture and gently rub it over the air mattress. Rinse with water and allow the mattress to air dry. Create a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and warm water in a bowl or bucket. Wet a sponge with the mixture. Use the sponge to clean the air mattress. Rinse with water and let the mattress air dry when you are finished. You can use any disinfectant, such as Lysol, to kill mold or mildew on your air mattress. Spray the disinfectant over the area where the mold and/or mildew appears. The disinfectant will also kill the spores that could cause mold to grow in the future.
Summary:
Take the mattress outside. Use vinegar and water to remove mold. Mix isopropyl alcohol and water to remove mildew. Apply a disinfectant.
