First and foremost, this is a probably STERILE procedure!  Set up your dressings ahead of time.  You will probably use several 4x4 gauze pads cut 1/2 the way across...these will be placed around the drain tube.  Additional 4x4s will be used to attract any drainage.  You will also use a large overdressing to cover the entire site, and of course, enough tape to hold the overdressing in place.  If a binder is used, that can be removed and replaced non-sterile-ly.  Wash and glove before CAREFULLY removing the old dressings layer-by-layer, noting how it was assembled so you can duplicate it.  After removing the old dressings, carefully clean the area by whatever directions and using whatever cleansers you were given.  Stop here, dispose of the gloves, re-wash and re-glove BEFORE assembling the replacement dressing.

I think if you wet them again & put them on & walk around in them until they feel comfortable should do the trick \nbut you may have to keep doing that every now & then as they dry\nto stop them shrinking again\nhope it works for you

Use a body girdle(sp)Also called body control garments.. you know those underwear looking things for your body that makes you thinner. They really work and are super comfy. Go to the underwear section in Wal-mart they are they. They can make you like 3 inches smaller.

Target or Walmart try bigger adjustable ones and make them small.

green tights. get some greem felt and sew a pointy hat shaped like a triangle. make a vest out of felt too and put on a belt. Buy some pointy ears from a costume shop. If you are a Santas elf then use red felt.

dont know but just resize them, open the pic in paint and click stretch/skew try putting 50 in both boxes (this means it will skew to half the size 200 would be double the size) and resend should work

You COULD use a chamois....but they take forever to dry and get heavy when wet. \n\nGet a MSR PackTowel at an ourdoor store like REI. They are ultra lightweight and dry great....plus you squeeze them out and they are ready to be packed away. I included a link below....

there are many ways to correct this depending on what the problem is.  \nIf the elastic is old, it will not draw up (the rubber in the elastic has dried out) like an old rubber band.\n\nuse a shorter length of elastic\n\nthe elastic may not be strong enough(like using pantie ela. for a denim skirt) For your project there is a clear elastic that  you can find at Hancock fabric or Jo Ann Fabrics.  This is the elastic used in manufactured bating suits around the leg and back areas. Although light weight. it has INCREDIBLY DURABLE, 6" will stretch almost 2' and fully recover to original length.  Washable, safe in dryer, even w/ high heat. But do be careful not to get it to tight because it wont grow as some elastic will.

Try Oriental Trading Co.  Or maybe you can go to a fabric shop, buy some strong elastic (rounded) and make your own!!

What you can do is tie something thin and strong around them, like a strand of hair, strong thread, fishing string, you get the idea. Pull and tie it tight, it will kinda burn, because the circulation is being cut off. Eventually, it will dry up and fall off. The bigger ones are worse. When you see tiny ones beginning to form, scratch them off.

The easiest way would be to look at a pattern (McCall's, etc.) which would tell you the material required for the size you wanted to make.

like a Motorola SLVR (Sliver)?\n\nJk...take a needle like the ones you use for sewing and stick in the stove flame for a few minutes to kill all the germs on it.\n\nThen use it to go layer by layer into your skin until you reach the thing. Then just do watever it takes it to get it out.\n\nIt might be painful but its worth it.

When I've made them, I left about 3-4" open on the back for stuffing, then handstitched it closed.  \n\nHere's a site you could plow through:\n\nhttp://www.craftsfaironline.com/Stuffed.html

This has some really neat ideas, but my favourite project is making wreaths. You bend a clothes hanger into the shape you want and tie plastics strips all around until it is nice and full. You could decorate further with recycled ribbon, flowers, etc. You might even make the flowers from laundry softeners so they smell pretty as well! The plastics strips should be about 9 - 12 inches long and about an inch or so wide. Cut them from clean bread bags, grocery or store bags, garbage or leaf bags....you just tie the plastic onto the hanger wire so you have equal ends. Push together as you go and twist now and then to add fullest.
