Leaving the seam intact will keep your finished T-shirt from unravelling and looking shabby. It will also make a smaller armhole. For a baggy T-shirt, this is a good approach. Cutting out the seam with the sleeve is a more casual look, and because the hole is larger, a little more comfortable as well. If the armhole is going to be too deep, modify your cut. Instead of following the seam all the way around the sleeve, when you are about 2/3s down the sleeve, angle out into the bottom of the sleeve....

Some ingredients to avoid in nail polish are dibutyl phthalate, toluene, and formaldehyde. However, short term exposure to these products is relatively safe, because these chemicals are often found in cleaning products, so just take caution in the amount of polish you apply to your skin. If you are pregnant, do not apply tattoos with nail polish. Nail polish brands that contain none of the above toxins are: Color Madnic Luscious nail lacquer, Zoya professional nail lacquer, OPI Birthday Babe nail lacquer, Cali nail polish thinner, Essie Starter Wife 596 nail lacquer, and Out the Door topcoat....

Avoid using whole-wheat or bread flour for the dough since these will make the pastry too dense and tough. Measure out the flour by spooning it into your measuring cup. Then, level out the cup with the back of a butter knife.

Classic origami is thin and lightweight, and you can find it at most craft supply stores. Using regular printer paper will be tough, since it’s harder to fold and doesn’t keep its shape as well. It may help to work near a flat surface, like a table or countertop, so you can rest the paper on something while you work. This will make a cute, tiny triangle out of your paper....

If any seeds fell into the juice, use a strainer to sieve them out before moving on to the rest of the recipe. You could zest the lemon rind, too. Use a zester, a microplane, or a vegetable peeler, and zest about 1 tablespoon (6 grams) of the yellow part of the lemon peel and add it to the lemon juice. This will add more fragrance to your lemonade, as well as a little bit of bitterness....

Hold the cotton swab stick by the end with the cotton. Avoid using the other end of the cotton swab stick as you may get small pieces of cotton stuck to your nail....

Don’t use oats that have been flavored in any way, as this flavor will work into your final dish. Plain oats are best. If you’re going to be using your oat flour in a recipe immediately, measure out more oats than the recipe calls for. Once you turn them into flour, they’ll settle and take up a smaller volume. You’ll generally end up with about 3/4 of the volume of oats you started with....

Keep the measuring tape snug but not too tight. If you do it too tight (if your bust is popping out over the tape) then you’ll get the wrong measurements and your dress won’t fit properly. You can also find your natural waist by measuring 2 inches up from your belly button. It’s usually the smallest part of your waistline.
