Problem: Article: The go-to material is the thick, brown paper called Kraft paper. This is what paper bags like the kind you might get at the supermarket is made from. Kraft paper is available on rolls anywhere shipping supplies are sold, and it is a little easier to work with. However, obviously that paper is not free. Make sure your bag is large enough to cover both sides of your book before beginning. Start by cutting out the bottom of the bag along its folds and removing any handles if your bag has them. Make a single vertical cut along one of the bag's corners. Your bag should now look like a single, rectangular sheet of paper.
Summary: Obtain Kraft paper. Cut the bag into a single sheet.

Problem: Article: It would be silly to seal a two sentence thank-you memo in an envelope and formally present it to the recipient. On the other hand, you might come off as rushed or even lazy if you deliver a formal letter carelessly. The best way to give a smaller thank-you note is to put it somewhere he will normally go. Personally handing someone a thank-you note will come off as redundant, so it's best for the recipient to see it when you're not around. For example, if it is a fellow co-worker, you could attach it to his cubicle as soon as you get to work. Another opportunity would be to be to stick it to the recipient's door. Although it's not a likely risk in a professional note, it's a good idea to exercise some discretion with a note. Assume that anyone could potentially read it, especially if you're leaving it in a high-traffic area like the office space. If there is any doubt, it's best to seal your letter in an envelope. Unlike a simple note, which is more informal and spontaneous, giving a letter can involve some ritual and formal courtesy. Feel free to seal it in an envelope and place it in their inbox, or even hand it to them personally. If you give it personally, make sure to bolster the letter with a smile and a firm handshake. In some cases, it may be appropriate to attach something inexpensive (>$10) to the note as a way to better manifest the gratitude. Take care only to do this when it is appropriate however; you don't want to make it look like you're trying to bribe someone.  If you attach a gift, it is best to deliver the letter and gift personally. It's not recommended you personally give a short note to someone personally, but a bigger letter (especially when coming with a gift) may be appropriate depending on the circumstances. If you decide it's best to give it to the recipient directly, you should keep surrounding circumstances in mind. If the recipient is bogged down with work, he might be annoyed by any new distractions. Waiting until a lunch break or a lull in the day's busyness is a good time to hand it over. You would give very mixed messages if you don't personally show the same gratitude you wrote in your letter. This is especially true if you have written the letter purely as a professional gesture. If and when you deliver the letter, you need to make sure your personal behaviour is in line with the meaning of the letter. Be confident, and remember to smile. If you're feeling anxious, take a moment to remember the fact that very few people have felt anything other than gratitude and satisfaction for being thanked for something!
Summary: Decide how important and formal the letter is, and deliver it accordingly. Post it somewhere visible. Seal your letter in an envelope. Attach a minor gift if appropriate. Wait until an appropriate, quiet time if you choose to deliver the letter personally. Be polite and gracious while delivering your letter.

Problem: Article: Connect a cable with a mini-plug from the line out of your sound card (the green port) to the line in (blue port). Note that all sounds from your computer will be recorded, including system sounds like beeps, alarms, and alerts. You may wish to disable these before recording. Use a single-to-double stereo adapter on the output port, then plug a single-to-single stereo cable from one side of the adapter to the input port, and a pair of headphones into the second side of the adapter, so you can monitor what you're recording.
Summary: Connect a cable. Select Line In as the recording source.

Problem: Article: Place the fabric facing down on a flat surface. Use a tape measure and colored pencil to mark the dimensions of the comforter. Use scissors to cut out the fabric. Repeat the process with the backing. Place the cut fabric facing up over the batting on a flat surface. Cut the batting 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) wider than the fabric. Pin along the edges and throughout the comforter with safety pins or straight pins. Use straight pins to pin the bias tape to the fabric and the batting. Align the outer edge of the tape with the edge of the fabric. The folded side of the bias should face down. Pin the corners flat. Place the backing face down on top of the fabric. Align the edges of the backing with the outer edges of the bias tape and fabric. Use straight pins to pin the backing onto the bias tape, fabric and batting. Use a sewing machine to sew along the edges of the backing, fabric, bias tape and batting on 3 sides. Sew along the edges of the fourth side until you are 12 inches (30.5 cm) from the end. Do not sew the last 12 inches (30.5 cm) of the comforter. Use scissors to trim the extra batting from the comforter. Pull the inside of the comforter through the 12-inch (30.5-cm) hole. The right sides of the fabric and the batting are now facing outward. Bend the fabric over the batting. Bend the backing into the comforter. Align the edges of the fabric and backing with the sewn edges on the comforter. The bias tape should be in between the fabric and backing. Use straight pins to hold the materials together. Use a sewing machine to sew the hole together. Sew along the edges. Iron along the comforter's edges. Cut a length of embroidery floss as long as desired. Thread the floss through a quilting needle. Insert the needle through the top of the comforter. Bring the needle back through the top of the comforter. Remove the floss from the needle. Tie the floss in a double knot. Repeat the process as many times as desired throughout the comforter.
Summary:
Cut the fabric. Cut the batting. Pin the fabric to the batting. Attach the bias tape. Attach the backing. Sew the comforter together. Remove the extra batting. Flip the comforter right side out. Close the hole. Press the edges. Attach the ties. Remove any remaining pins.
