Article: You'll need floral stem wire to hold the bow together at its center. Make sure to bend it in half so it looks like a U. You'll also need wire-edged ribbon. Get a spool and that way you can make the bow as big as you like. Pull about 18 inches (46 cm) of ribbon away from the spool. Hold onto the ribbon with the fingers of your left hand. Now that you've made a loop, transfer it to your left hand and hold it firmly in between your fingers.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Gather your supplies. Measure your ribbon. Hold the loop.
Article: Most pinto beans will reach this stage between 90 and 150 days.  Bush beans mature at once, giving you a single harvest. Pole beans yield several harvests and should be picked regularly so that more beans can grow. Note that mature beans can barely be dented when bitten. If the weather starts getting damp before the seeds fully dry, pull the entire plant after most of the foliage has already died and hang it by its roots in a well-ventilated, dry location. The bean pods can finish drying this way. You can shell pinto bean pods individually by hand or in batches.  To shell the beans in batches, place the pods in an old pillowcase and walk on it for a minute or so, crushing the pods open. You can remove the chaff by pouring the beans back and forth between two containers or by letting them sit out in a breezy area. Place the beans in a freezer-safe container and let them sit in your freezer for several hours before transferring them to long-term storage. This added step can help prevent problems with weevils and similar pests. Place the shelled, cool beans in airtight jars and store them in a dry, cool place, like a pantry or cellar. Dried pinto beans will usually last at least one year if stored properly but may last even longer.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Wait until the beans dry out. Shell the pods. Freeze the beans temporarily. Store the beans in a cool location.
Article: Keep your spine straight and your shoulders back. Your arms should hang loosely at your sides. Your hands and fingers should also be loose and pointing down at the floor. The term "dominant hand" refers to the hand you are most comfortable with for precision tasks. This generally equates to the hand you use to write, handle tools, or throw a ball.  In some cases, your sword hand may not be the same as the hand you use for writing or using tools. To verify your sword hand, hold a straight piece of wood or a household item. This should be roughly the length of your forearm. The hand in which this is most comfortable is your sword hand. When you spread your fingers out, the space between your thumb and forefinger will form a V-shape. With your hand still loose at your side and your fingers pointing toward the ground, use a tape measure to determine the distance between the same side eye as your dominant hand and the base of this V-shape in your dominant hand. This measurement can be difficult to take accurately without help. You may want a friend or family member to assist you in this. Generally, when you are within a ½ in (1.2 cm) of the next full inch mark, round up to the next inch. When you are over a ½ in from the next full inch, round down to the next full inch mark.  Depending on the kind of sword you are using, sizing conventions can vary. These measurements are for a modern, straight bladed military saber. Most mass produced bladed weapons, like swords, are broken down into sizes. These sizes are generally in standardized increments, like 1 or 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm). As an example of a sword with a different size expectation, a traditional broadsword ranges from 30 to 45 inches (76.2 to 114.3 cm).
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Assume a straight-backed posture. Identify your dominant hand. Measure between the cleft of your thumb/forefinger and eye. Round up or down to the next full inch (2.5 cm).
