INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A big, dark, simple design is easiest to work with. Print in black and white or dark colors -- you need to see the pattern through the screen. It also has to fit inside your embroidery hoop. If you don't want to use your computer's imaging program, you can draw one yourself. Just make sure it's the right size, is dark enough, and won't transfer to your screen. Unscrew the hoop that opens it and pull your fabric taut across the base of the hoop. Replace the top and twist the screw back in. It doesn't matter if it's centered; you'll only be using the material within the circumference of the hoop. Sheer curtain material works well as your screen. Pick a fabric that's meshy and not quite translucent. The fabric should be directly touching the pattern. Use a pencil to trace your image; if you mess up, you can always go back and erase. Only trace an outline. Cover the outside of your pattern (where your tracing lines are) in a layer of glue. This should not be on your pattern; it should be surrounding it. This glue acts as a shield when you apply the paint -- if you go outside the lines, it won't show on the fabric; it'll just be left on the glue. The glue can go as crazy as it wants outside the pattern -- just make sure it doesn't go inside. When you're finished, wait for it to dry completely. 15 minutes should do the trick. The sheer fabric should be away from the material, separated by the width of the embroidery hoop. Smooth out the fabric underneath the screen to create an even pattern. If you have an ink squeegee, use it to apply your paint to the material. If you don't, use a sponge paintbrush and hold the screen firmly. Be careful that you don't incur any smudges when you lift it off! If it hasn't dried thoroughly, the paint may run. Give it a solid 15 minutes to dry completely. Iron your fabric, following the directions on the bottle of ink or paint you used. Wear away!

SUMMARY: Print off your design on your computer. Place your sheer fabric material in an embroidery hoop. Place the hoop on top of the pattern and start tracing. Flip the hoop fabric side up. Position the screen in place. Pull off the screen and allow your material to dry.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When discussing your sport or academic subject, talk about how much you enjoy it. Tell your friends and family that you plan to do your best in an upcoming activity. Demonstrate your knowledge in an interested but not an arrogant way. People will notice your interest and might regard you as being good. They might ask you further questions, which is an opportunity for you to show your expertise.   For example, you might say, “Wow, I’m so excited for my competition this weekend. I have been working really hard with my new choreographer and cannot wait to give my full effort.” You also might discuss a recent news item and your thoughts on it. It is also okay to express doubt or worries sometimes. Instead of broadcasting your thoughts, however, tell only a few close friends or your parents. This will help your confident image stay. Whether you are taking an exam or performing a competition routine for figure skating, express confidence. Use confident body language when conversing with others. Smile at others. Do not slouch. Instead, stand up tall and speak clearly. Rather than crossing your arms, keep them open or at your hips. See Make People Think You Are Confident for more tips. People who are well-rounded might seem “good” at everything because they are well-connected. In truth, they might be generalists who just try many activities. Being open to new experiences, though, is in fact a good thing. Plus, the more people you meet, the farther your reputation spreads. Consider finding friends in different areas of your school or community too. For example, if you’re into skating, you could have other skaters as friends. You might also have friends from chemistry class or choir. In addition to concrete activities, being “good” at everything, extends to your social skills. Show kindness through volunteer work or helping friends when they are in need. Listen intently when your friends tell you stories or about their problems. Give advice when they ask for it. Also, compliment others. Often, confidence comes from not having to prove your the best but in highlighting the best in others.   You might consider volunteering at a soup kitchen or collecting food for the homeless. You could help your friend with her math homework. See Practice-Random-Acts-of-Kindness for more tips. No one is good at everything and absolutely no one is perfect. If you want to appear competent in what you do, that is good and fine. It is important, however, to be modest and humble. Do not brag about your successes.  For example, do not say, “Wow, I went to the competition this weekend and beat everyone in the free skate. I won gold!” Instead, wait until people ask you how the competition went. Then you might say, “I did my best and was very pleased.” If they ask you what place you received, then feel free to say, “I placed first.” See Be Humble for more advice.
Summary: Speak confidently about your activities. Act confident. Socialize in many groups. Be kind to others. Maintain humility.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A powder puff is a flat, puffy pad that comes in some powder compacts. It's usually palm-sized. To use, add a generous amount of powder to the puff. Dip it into the powder and don’t knock the excess off by tapping the puff against the lid. If you're buying your own powder puff, look for one that's about the size of your palm. Applying the powder lightly at first will prevent the puff from smudging your makeup. Tap the puff lightly all over your face. Then press more firmly after a light layer has been applied. If you’re applying powder under your eyes or around your nose, fold the puff in half. Then apply the powder as usual. A smaller puff gives you more control and prevents you from getting powder in places you don’t want it. Run the back of your hand against your face. If your cheek feels smooth and dry, you’ve applied just enough powder. If your face still feels wet or sticky, apply a bit more powder.

SUMMARY:
Dip the puff into the powder. Apply the powder lightly at first. Fold the puff in half for small or narrow areas. Feel your cheek with the back of your hand to see if there’s enough powder.
