Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wipe down the scissors.

Answer: Wipe down the blades using a paper towel dampened by warm water. This will get rid of any aluminum debris that may have clung to the blades as you were cutting.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Prepare your bag. Shape your hat. Trim away excess paper if desired. Decorate.

Answer: Cut a large brown paper bag open along one corner. Spread it flat on your worktable. Try to smooth out any creases as best you can. If you’re making the hat for someone else, drape the bag over their head and center it. Smooth the paper over their skull where the hat will cover it. Make new creases and fold them over to create pleats where needed. Then wrap wide tape around the bag to act as a hat band and hold its shape. If you’re making it for yourself:  Do the same over an inflatable ball that’s roughly the same size and shape as your head. If using a ball, you may need a partner to hold it still while you tape. Give the brim of your hat a look over. If there’s more paper than you’d like between its edges and the tape-band, cut away the excess with scissors. Then remove the hat from your model. Cut a length of fabric to tie or glue around the tape for a more eye-catching hat band. Stuff that with straw or crinkled cardstock paper. Cut small squares from your excess paper or another paper bag, glue these to the hat where you please, and use markers to draw stitches around their edges to transform them into patches.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose the first person you're going to come out to. Come out during an appropriate time. When in doubt, speak from the heart. Emphasize your happiness to people who care about you. Give them time to process, if needed. Start coming out to more casual friends as you feel ready.

Answer: It's best to choose someone who is supportive, kind, and close to you (if possible).  If you want to come out to your parents, and one parent is more accepting than the other, come out to the more accepting parent first. They can help you come out to your other parent. The best time will depend for different people. It's best to come out during a calm time, when they are reasonably happy and not distracted by other things. If you aren't sure if this is a good time to talk, you can ask them if it is.  If you anticipate a heartfelt conversation, try asking "I'd like to tell you about something that's important to me. Is now a good time?" If you're planning a longer conversation, then talk about what you think and feel.   "I wanted to let you know that I'm gay. I've had feelings for girls since I was 7 years old. I'm telling you this because I want to share the important parts of my life with you, and I'm hoping for your support." "I've had a crush on another boy for a while now. I'm pretty sure I'm gay. I'm telling you because I'm hoping that I can share this part of my life together, and that I can turn to you for advice and support with dating." Some people might be worried about how you'll cope in a homophobic society. Talk about how being openly gay helps you feel authentic and happy, and ask for their support. Some people may have suspected you were gay, while others might be surprised and need a moment. Let them think about it, without pushing for a reaction right away.  Sometimes, people's first reaction is what society has taught them how to react, while their second reaction is more genuine and thoughtful. If they are saying hurtful things, walk away. They might come back later once they have cleared their head and come to their senses. You might have a long face-to-face conversation, or you might just say "Hey, I'm gay" and keep it simple. It's up to you, and what you think works best with the friend and your relationship.  More and more people are open to the idea of LGBT+ people, so you may find that many of your friends are accepting.
