In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Leave 1/2" (1 cm or so) extra on all sides, stopping just below your second knuckle. This is the template for your finger puppet. You'll need two of your template (front and back) plus any extra bits. Wings for your butterfly? A nose for your elephant? A beak for your chicken? Ears for your rabbit? Get as intricately detailed as possible. If your brain isn't firing on all pistons at the moment, look up a few generic cartoons for detailing inspiration. Before you get to sewing the base of the puppet, sew on all the small, finer details. While you have your thread out, sew on a grin with a backstitch. A whip stitch will probably be best for adding your eyes/nose/beak/wings/general details. If sewing isn't your forte, you may be able to get around most of it with hot glue. But take care -- glue and felt isn't always pretty, especially if too much glue is used. Do a blanket stitch around the entire body; if you've added a piece that doesn't allow for this, switch to a running stitch. Now all you've got to do is put 'em on and get to creating. Unless you want to give your puppet 9 more friends, of course!
Summary: Trace your finger on a piece of paper. Cut out your felt pieces. Sew on the additions. Place the top and bottom of the body on top of each other and sew together.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Irons require dry hair in order to work effectively and can burn if your hair is wet. You may also wish to apply a heat-protective spray to your hair before using the iron since it can be dangerous the first few times. These sprays can be found at any beauty store. Since heat is what makes the hair curl, it is important that the curling iron is very hot before you start to curl. It should be 200 degrees or above. Do not use a cheap iron. Invest in a more expensive, reliable iron which will provide consistent heat. Go at a consistent pace so that the iron does not have time to burn your hair.  Be sure to avoid letting the iron sit in one place too long. Do not let the iron touch your skin since it is very hot. Leave the pin in for around 10-15 minutes. This will help hold the curl in and should increase the time the curls stay in your hair. Apply a liberal amount, maybe around 10-15 sprays.  Hairspray is key to holding hair in place and will help curls stay for a long time. Let the hairspray sit in your hair for around 10-15 minutes. Your hair should now be in curls that will last for a long time. You can also then braid this hair before bed if you want to try an alternative method.
Summary: Be sure to dry your hair completely before starting this process. Plug in your curling iron and start to pre-heat it. Split your hair into fairly equal sections and run the curling iron from the base to the tip. After each curl, pin the curl to your head with a hairpin. Once your hair is all pinned up and curled, apply hairspray. Release the pins and your hair. Finished.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Brochures are meant to be read quickly and easily. For this reason, standard fonts and lettering styles are preferable to more elaborate ones. A common typeface like Arial, Sans Serif, or Times New Roman will work just fine, in most cases.  If you're designing your brochure on the computer, it's best to stick to a font size somewhere in the 9-10.5 range for your main text, since the panels are smaller than ordinary documents. You can go slightly larger for things like headings and titles. When hand-making a brochure, always print your letters rather than writing them in cursive. Pictures are useful for breaking up big chunks of text on the panel and giving your reader something interesting to look at. They tend to work best when they accompany an important piece of information. Place your images on one side of the page near the margins and format your text around them to make the best use of the space you have.  Add your own hand-drawn illustrations or download images from the Internet that are appropriate for your topic. Avoid adding more than about 2 pictures per page. Too many can quickly become distracting and result in a cluttered, amateurish look. Don't forget that you'll need to provide citations for the images you include as well to let your reader know where you found them. Making your title and headings a different color than your main text, for instance, can create contrast and signal to your reader that they're encountering something new. You could also include full-color pictures for more vibrant detail, or even print or draw on colored paper in a light shade that won't clash with your lettering. You can easily change your font color using the text editor tools in your editing program of choice. If you're creating your brochure by hand, grab some colored pencils or markers for when you want to add a little flair.
Summary:
Choose simple, legible fonts to make your brochure easy on the eyes. Incorporate pictures and other graphic elements throughout. Use color to add style and emphasis.
