INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you can begin tatting, you will need to find a thread that you’d like to work with. Size 10 cotton crochet thread is a great choice for beginners because it is not too fine and it will not snag as easily as other threads. However, you can go with another kind of thread that appeals to you if you prefer.  Keep in mind that a small number on a thread size means it is actually wider than another thread with a larger number thread size. For example, a size 10 thread will be larger than a size 40 thread. Stick to a size 10 or 20 thread when you are just starting out. This will be easier to see. As your skills improve, you can move to finer threads, such as a size 50. You also need a shuttle to tat. A shuttle is a spool with two pointed ends that are open, but that only allow the thread to pass through when you tug on it. This will help you to control the thread as you tat.  Shuttles can be a little difficult to find. Check your local craft supply stores or buy a tatting shuttle online. The most common and budget friendly type of shuttle is a simple plastic one, which is a great choice if you are a beginner. You can also find shuttles that are made of wood or bone, but they are more expensive and the only benefit of these is that they may feel nicer in your hand while you are working. However, these shuttles work the same way as the less expensive plastic ones. You will need to cut the thread regularly while tatting. Make sure that you have a sharp pair of scissors handy. The only other tool you use for tatting is your hands. Both of your hands will be engaged when you are tatting. You may want to remove your jewelry to keep it from snagging on the thread.

SUMMARY: Choose your thread. Select a shuttle. Get a pair of scissors. Be prepared to use your hands a lot.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use warm water and your favorite cleanser to wash away makeup and dirt. Gently pat your face dry with a towel. Pour a small amount of astringent onto the cotton ball, enough to make the top of the ball moist but not soaked through. You may rub it in gently, but do not scrub.  If you have combination skin, try dabbing the astringent only in your oily areas (often the forehead, nose, and chin). Skip over any dry areas. Some astringents also come in spray bottles that you can lightly mist over your face without using a cotton ball. Wait for your astringent to absorb slightly. Then, apply a moisturizer that contains an SPF 30 or higher sunscreen. Choose a light moisturizer or one formulated for oily skin.  You may think adding moisturizer to oily skin will only make things worse, but drying out your skin too much can cause even more oil production. It’s best to keep your skin balanced with a light moisturizer.  Sunscreen is helpful since your skin is more likely to be sensitive to light after using astringent. Apply your astringent once per day, after you wash your face in the morning. Skip the astringent after cleansing your skin in the evening. If desired, you may use toner in the evening in place of astringent. Even the mildest of astringents can burn if you put them on an open cut or scratch on your face. It’s best to avoid these areas and wait to apply astringent until the skin is healthy again. If you feel a burning sensation or your face becomes red after applying astringent, stop using it. Calm your skin by applying moisturizer. Try a more soothing astringent, or switch to using toner instead.

SUMMARY:
Wash your face with your favorite cleanser or soap and pat dry. Put a small amount of astringent on a cotton ball and dab on your face. Apply an SPF 30 light moisturizer while your skin is still slightly damp. Apply your astringent once per day. Avoid cuts and abrasions when you apply your astringent. Switch to a milder astringent if your face becomes red or irritated.
