This paper will become your tracing paper, so you’ll want to start with a sheet that’s already fairly thin. Regular printer paper works well for this process. You’ll need a few more items before you begin making your tracing paper. Fortunately, most of these materials should be available around your house. You’ll need:  One tablespoon of oil in a cup. You’ll be applying this oil to your paper and may need more than a tablespoon depending on the size of the paper. Ideally, use vegetable, coconut or baby oil. Olive oil is thicker and may oversaturate the paper.  A large, thick-bristled paintbrush to apply the oil. Newspaper, cardboard or a plastic container. Paper towels or a washcloth. A hair dryer (optional). Find a flat surface such as a table or desk to work on. You’ll want to make sure it’s protected since you’ll be working with oil. Before you start, place some newspaper on your workspace.  The oil may drip or accidently spill, so it’s a good idea to cover the entire surface with newspaper. Alternatively, place your paper on a piece of cardboard or inside a large plastic container.

Cleaners that contain acetone and ammonia are too harsh for an iMac screen. Also avoid using regular household cleaners to clean your iMac screen, including window and glass cleaners. Mix equal parts water and distilled white vinegar in a spray bottle. Place and secure the top on the spray bottle. Gently shake the bottle to mix the ingredients together.  Make sure to spray the cleaner onto the cloth instead of the iMac screen. You can use this cleaner in place of commercial screen cleaners. Paper towels, toilet paper, dishcloths, and tissue paper are too abrasive for iMac screens. You may scratch your iMac’s screen if you use these. Instead, use a microfiber cloth, or the cloth that came with your iMac to clean it.

Make sure it matches your socks! Bonus points if your tee is off-the-shoulder. Go with bright, playful shades like pink, yellow or blue. Thick stripes or other patterns are fun, too! Mini skirts were all the rage in the 80s! Find a colorful or metallic-looking skirt to rock for your 80s outfit. The short length will emphasize your fun layered socks. Look for a skirt that matches one of the colors of your socks, but don’t get one in the same color as your shirt. Wear bright tights under the skirt to sport a more conservative look. Some bright leggings or acid-washed skinny jeans can also be the perfect addition to an 80s outfit. Pull your socks over the outside of the leggings to make sure they’re visible. Chunky Reebok high tops or a pair of Converse are the perfect complement to your layered socks. Go with white if you have them, but any color will work! Tease out your hair and pull it up into a classic 80s side ponytail, then secure it with a big, colorful scrunchie. Match it with your socks or shirt if you want, or let it clash a bit.
