Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a simple, cheap toothbrush. Fill a pot with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Answer: Clear ones work the best, but you can also use colorful, patterned ones instead. For a more interesting bracelet, use a glow-in-the-dark or sparkly toothbrush. Make sure that the toothbrush does not have rubber grips, and is the same width all along the handle. You will be placing the entire toothbrush into this pot, so make sure that it is big enough. The water needs to be deep enough to cover the toothbrush, plus a few extra inches/centimeters. Do not put the toothbrush into the water just yet. If you don't have access to a stove, you can heat some water in a large, microwave-safe bowl or dish in the microwave instead.  If you are heating the water in the microwave, you will need to cook it for 2 to 5 minutes to ensure that it is hot enough. Place a chopstick or wooden spoon over the bowl before putting it into the microwave to prevent the water from boiling over.

Try Bird Crash Preventers if you want less visible protection. Get Feather Friendly adhesive window dots for easy installation. Use Solyx Bird-Safety Film if you want more decorative options.

Answer: Acopian BirdSavers are simple paracord curtains that you can install quickly and easily outside your windows to deter bird crashes. They consist of a series of evenly spaced vertical cords that hang in front of the window. Order BirdSavers in the right sizes for your windows and follow the included installation instructions.  Acopian BirdSavers are highly effective bird deterrents, and are recommended by the American Bird Conservancy based on extensive testing. You can purchase BirdSavers made to order of your windows here: https://www.birdsavers.com/. If you’d rather make your own BirdSavers, you can easily do so with a little dark-colored paracord and some vinyl j-channel. Measure the width of your window frame and cut the j-channel to the right width. Next, drill enough holes in the j-channel that you can hang the cords vertically across your entire window with about 4 inches (10 cm) of space between each one. Insert the cords through the holes and knot them at the top so they hang at the desired length.  You can mount the j-channel to the top of your window using screws or adhesive Velcro strips. As an alternative to j-channel, try using a piece of PVC pipe or a strip of wood molding. You can also use another piece of paracord as the top horizontal piece. Bird Crash Preventers are another system tested and approved by the American Bird Conservancy. These consist of a simple nylon grid that is highly visible to birds but nearly invisible to humans. Purchase Bird Crash Preventers in the right size for your windows and install them using the included screws and brackets.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Measure and cut your tulle and elastic. Sew the tulle together. Bunch the tulle. Sew the ends together. Create an elastic loop. Attach the elastic to the tulle. Add decorations.

Answer:
Measure the wearer's thigh and multiply the number by 0.75. Add 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) to this number for a seam allowance.  Use tulle that matches the color of your dress or one of your school colors. The length of elastic should match this measurement. You will need to cut three separate strips of tulle, and each length of tulle should be three times as long as this basic measurement. After cutting the three strips of tulle, stack them and cut them down the center lengthwise. You may need to pin the tulle strips together to make sure that the cuts are even. Stack the six strips of tulle and pin the stack in several places along the length. Use a sewing machine to stitch down the center of the tulle. Set a long stitch length and let the bobbin and needle threads stay long on both ends. Do not back stitch the ends. Back stitching secures the ends in place, but for this project, you need to create a gathering stitch. Gently pull one of the long bobbin threads to gather or "bunch up" the tulle.  Continue gathering the fabric until it is 2/3 the length of your tulle strips, which should also be two times the length of your original measurement. Use your fingers to gently maneuver the bunches of tulle along the gathering thread. The bunches should be distributed along the thread evenly. Fold the tulle in half widthwise and stitch the ends together by hand or with a sewing machine.  Place the "right" or "top" sides of the tulle together. Sew a straight line 1/4 inch (0.635 cm) from the end. Turn the right sides out. You should now have a uniform tulle loop. Fold your strip of elastic in half widthwise and sew the ends together 1/4 inch (0.635 cm) from the end.  Use a sewing machine to sew a straight line across the ends. Reinforce the seam by backstitching it. The "right" side or "top" side of the elastic should be placed together. Turn the elastic right-side-out. Pin the elastic loop to the tulle loop in four places. Use a sewing machine to stitch down the center of the tulle in a straight line, securing the tulle and elastic together.  Note that the elastic loop will be smaller than the tulle loop. Set your sewing machine to produce a narrow zigzag stitch. Gently pull on the elastic lengthwise as you sew. As you pull, the length of the elastic should be made to match the length of the tulle. Make sure the sew around the entire garter. Use fabric glue to attach a charm of your school emblem or mascot to the garter.  You could also glue feathers, craft gems, fake-pearl buttons, or other charms and decorations to the garter. Get creative and decorate it according to your own unique personality. Attach the decoration over the spot at which the two ends of the tulle ring overlap.
