When feet are confined inside thick shoes, they often sweat. If you’re having trouble with this, try choosing more breathable shoes to minimize the problem. Try tennis shoes made of breathable canvas material, or sandals during warmer weather. Avoid rubber shoes that don’t allow any air flow. Try rotating your shoes every day. This will allow your shoes to dry completely between uses. Cleaning your shoes can help eliminate any buildup of bacteria or other pesky irritants inside your shoes. Wash shoes that you wear regularly at least once every week or so.   You can try washing your shoes with soap and water in the sink, or running them through the dishwasher/washing machine by themselves. Be sure to let your shoes dry completely before wearing them again. If your feet sweat a lot, your socks will inevitably soak up all of that excess sweat and grime caused by your feet. To prevent problematic odor and bacteria growth, you should avoid wearing the same socks for more than one day. Wash your socks regularly and consider changing your socks multiple times in a day if they become too damp with sweat. For sweaty feet issues, synthetic socks are often more effective because they allow more air to flow through and they absorb more of the excess sweat. They also wick moisture away from your feet.  Choose socks made from polyester. Avoid more restrictive fabrics like nylon or 100% cotton socks. Some people have also had success with socks made of natural fibers. The natural materials often have higher levels of absorption, leaving your feet less sweaty and uncomfortable. Consider trying socks made of natural fibers like hemp, bamboo, or wool. If you don’t have any antifungal powders, you can try applying cornstarch to your feet. Just rub a pinch of cornstarch on the bottom of your feet before you put your socks on. This can help sweaty feet stay dry for longer periods of time. You can also sprinkle some cornstarch in your shoes to add an extra absorbent measure. If you find yourself with constantly sweaty feet, it might be a good idea to always keep an extra pair of socks handy. This will allow you to change your socks if they become too damp or smelly during the day. Consider keeping extra pairs of socks in your office, car, purse, or briefcase.

Q: Even if you’re not sewing together your costume, you should still gather the materials you’ve decided to use. Lay everything out and start to make a plan for how you’re going to put them together. Once you have your materials together, make sure you have the correct measurements for the clothes you're creating. Double checking these measurements before you create a template and begin cutting out fabric can save you a lot of wasted time and money.  For pants, you will need the following measurements: waist, hip, crotch depth and full leg length from waist to floor. For shirts, you will need the following measurements: neck, chest, shoulder width, arm length, armhole length and shirt length. For shorts, use the pant measurements you have, only shortening the pant length to the desired length. For skirts, you simply need waist and hip measurements. The length and fullness of the skirt will vary depending on what type of skirt you want to make. Make sure that the material you choose to use is not see-through or itchy if you are making clothing as part of your costume. Creating a template for your costume on paper first gives you a chance to double check measurements. This is a good technique regardless of whether you're gluing or sewing your costume Transfer the template to a piece of felt with a pen and use scissors to cut out the template before gluing it together. Using your template, make clothing for your costume out of fabric. This might require either sewing or gluing material together. It's best to take this step slowly as you double check measurements and try things on as you make them. Using a glue gun, paste on objects or embellishments to the clothing you've made or the existing clothing you're using for your costume. For example, you and a partner could cover a green outfit in real or fake leaves, wrap a toy snake around your neck, and hold an apple in your hand for a quick and easy Adam and Eve costume. Once you’ve got the base of your costume, add your accessories. This might mean gluing or sewing additional material, or simply draping a cape over your shoulders or adding a tiara. You’ll want to check out how everything looks together at least once before you wear your costume on Halloween. Once you have everything put together, try it on with all of the accessories and make sure you're happy with the result. You should do this a few days before Halloween so you have time for changes if they're necessary.
A: Gather your materials. Double check your measurements. Create a template. Make the clothes of your costume. Add embellishments. Add accessories. Try it on.

Article: Magnetic paper fits into an inkjet printer the same way as regular paper. Load it with the paper side facing upwards, towards the inner portion of the machine. That way, the ink will print on it. You can only use regular magnetic paper from a craft store. Vinyl magnetic material is cut through the same process, but requires an industrial-sized machine. Use a program like Photoshop or Silhouette on your computer. Create your design using the various tools available in the program. This design is what prints over the magnetic paper, so don’t hold back on the creativity. For example, you can import an image to print using the file option in the upper left corner of the screen. Select the print option from the menu bar in the upper left corner of the screen. If you loaded the printer correctly, the image will print onto the white, paper side of the magnetic paper. Leave it in the printer for a few minutes to dry. Lay the magnet side on top of the cutting mat. The cutting mat should be sticky and hold the magnet paper in place after you press it flat. You can purchase cutting mats from craft stores, but make sure they are small enough to fit into the cutting machine. If your cutting mat loses its stickiness, wash it off and apply an adhesive spray from the craft store. Slide the mat into your specialized cutting machine. Again, it works like regular paper. Keep the image side facing up towards the inside portion of the machine. This way, the blades will slice through the paper side first, ensuring a clean cut. If you don’t have a cutting machine, you can always cut the design by hand using a paper cutter or knife. Open the software included with your cutting machine. Select the print options in the top left corner of the screen. First, select “printable magnetic material from the drop-down menu that appears. Then, drag the cutting margins with your mouse to show the machine how much of the magnet to cut. Hit the print button and watch the machine go to work. After it finishes, pick up the magnetic paper. You should easily be able to fold the magnet along the cut margins and tear off any leftover material by hand.
