Q: Choose the color of fleece that you want your puppet body to be. Don’t worry about choosing a “realistic” skin color. Your puppet can be green, purple, or any other color you want!  You can buy fleece of all different colors and patterns at your local fabric store, or online. Avoid getting “minky” fleece. Although it’s very soft, it’s trickier to sew and cut, because it is so fluffy. There are many puppet patterns online, but we’ll follow this one for the rest of the steps. You can print the pattern on ordinary printer paper, and cut it out thoroughly with scissors.
A: Fold a ½ yard (.46 meter) of fleece in half. Print the puppet pattern from bit.ly/puppetpattern and cut it out.

Q: Use soap and a washcloth to clean your entire body.  Do this in the morning, that way you are smelling good right as you walk out the door. You especially want to wash sweaty areas, like your armpits, behind your knees, and between your legs. While you are in the shower, use shampoo and conditioner.  Check the labels to make sure that alcohol is not a component of your hair care product; this will dry your hair out. Run your hands through your hair with the shampoo and conditioner for at least a minute or two. You want to make sure you get rid of any dandruff and debris from the previous day. To be cute, you want to get rid of most, if not all, your acne.  There are many products available, but stay away from ones containing alcohol (will dry your skin and cause more irritation). Applying a daily facial moisturizer will also help your face look smooth and silky. Rub the cream on your face with a pad or your hands. Make sure that your pad/hands are slightly dampened first, as well as your face. Use small circular strokes to apply. First apply a shaving cream or lotion to your face. Then take a razor, and take off those pesky hairs. You can create interesting mustaches, or just shave it all off. The benefit of shaving at night is that you won't have to show off any razor cuts you accidentally made. However, shaving in the morning alleviates a five o'clock shadow. This is for your own personal hygiene, as well as a way to smell good in front of other people. Take a stick of deodorant and rub it underneath your armpits once in the morning. This will prevent sweat stains from occurring throughout the day and make you smell good. Always carry a stick in your car or backpack in case you forget in the morning. An added fragrance can entice the girls (or boys), as well as make people notice you. Spray on a minor amount to "pulse points." These are around the neckline, wrists, and the back of knees. The heat from these "pulse points" will spread the scent of the spray throughout the day. Overdoing the spray will detract more people than it will attract. This might seem minor, but it is incredibly important. Use nail clippers and trim your fingernails and toenails down until you can barely see the wide edge. Use a nail filer and smooth the edges. You will not only look like you care about your appearance, but when you touch others it will feel smooth and comfortable. Use a hair gel or styling cream and spike your hair. You can also get creams/gels that specialize in more classic looks (Don Draper hairdo) or bedhead looks. Take a dime sized amount and run it through your hair. Then, using your hands and a comb, straighten your hair how you would like. If you need more gel/cream, keep adding dime sized amounts. You can also get your hair combed, cut, and styled professionally. Yellow, or stained teeth are not attractive.  Make sure to brush in a circular motion, dislodging plaque and scum from the previous hours' meals. Always floss to get the incredibly hard-to-find debris lodged in your teeth. Take a piece of floss about 6 inches long, and wrap the two ends around a finger from each hand. Also make sure to schedule dentist appointments every six months to get your teeth cleaned professionally. Always remember to change your wardrobe up every 6 months to a year. The same clothes get stale fast, and the colors tend to fade. Tank-tops are popular in the summer, as are flip-flops. In the winter, tight fitted jeans are in style, along with a pair of boat shoes or Converse. Clothing is up to the individual, however, you can always get advice from a friend, partner, or a clothing professional whom works at the store. Aviator or rectangular sunglasses are whats currently in style. Buy a pair to wear when you are riding in your car.  Keep them inside the glove compartment so you don't forget them. Or you can wear them inside, which looks even more daring and cool.
A: Take a shower regularly. Wash your hair thoroughly. Use facial and skin creams. Shave in the morning or at night. Apply an antiperspirant or deodorant at least once a day. Spray on a body spray or cologne. Keep your nails trim and tidy. Create a new and interesting hairstyle. Brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day. Try on some new clothes. Buy some new shades.

Q: Tight, structured clothing and shoes may make you uncomfortable when you travel. They may also increase your risk of developing blood clots. Instead, wear something loose that fits you comfortably. Opt for stretchy pants with an elastic waistline and a loose fitting top, or wear a loose-fitting jersey or cotton dress. Pair your outfit with a pair of comfortable walking shoes, such as sneakers or supportive sandals. You may also want to dress in layers to help keep yourself at a comfortable temperature. For example, you could wear a short-sleeved top with a cardigan or pullover. That way if you feel a chill, you can simply throw on your cardigan. Buckle your seatbelt when you are going to be riding in a car, on a bus, or on an airplane. Make sure that the seatbelt is low around your hips and positioned under your belly. The top strap of a car seatbelt should go across your chest and be positioned above your belly. On an airplane, keep your seatbelt buckled even when the “fasten seatbelt” sign is off. Unexpected turbulence may jostle you around and could even cause injury if you’re out of your seat during severe turbulence. If you will be driving, position yourself as far away from the steering wheel as you can while still being able to fully operate your vehicle. Take some extra time to get adjusted and make sure that your position is both comfortable and safe. If you put your seat all the way back and it is hard for you to reach the steering wheel, you need to be closer to it. Don’t put yourself in unsafe positions just to create more distance between you and the wheel. Gas-producing foods can increase your discomfort while traveling, so it is best to avoid them while you’re in transit. To be extra careful, limit your consumptions of these foods up to 24 hours before you leave too. That helps keep any side-effects caused by last night’s dinner from derailing your morning flight plans.   Steer clear of carbonated beverages, beans, prunes, and any other food or drink that you know will make you gassy. For example, if eating raw vegetables gives you gas, then avoid eating raw vegetables until you reach your destination.
A:
Wear loose, comfortable clothing and shoes. Wear your seatbelt at all times while you’re in transit. Move your seat as far away from the steering wheel as you can when you drive. Avoid foods that make you gassy before and during travel.
