Preparation Does your favorite pair of knit socks have a hole in them? It was once considered an old-fashioned notion to opt for darning. Today, displaying your handiwork and expressing yourself is more in style, and that’s why artists like Celia Pym have embraced visible mending as a medium. As part of an installation for the British clothing brand Toast, she restored these mustard socks; the company also has a repair program, workshops, and a mended-garment exchange....
Preparation When I sat down to brainstorm ideas to decorate my upcoming Easter table, I thought about how the vivid shades of some of my favorite spring nail polish colors would be the perfect medium for marbling Easter eggs. But be warned—making this craft is rather addictive. I couldn’t stop playing around with different color combinations and dipping just about everything in sight into the swirly waters. The most fun part was seeing how each egg turned out completely different thanks to the technique....

First, use a dull-edged knife to remove excess lipstick....
Preparation Sure, you can cut a citrus fruit in half, slice it into segments, and spoon out the juicy parts. But if you want to elevate the presentation or use the fruit in a salad, you’ll need to supreme it. Supreming is a technique that removes the membrane from citrus fruit so it can be served in slices. This is a little more time-consuming, but the results—no rind, no pith, no mess—are worth it....
Preparation Springtime weddings definitely call for romantic dresses, open-toe shoes, and chic purses, but what about hats? While hats were once a wedding-day must have for guests, they’ve fallen out of fashion. (Brides, however, are beginning to bring this trend back to life.) All of this begs the question: Can a guest wear a hat to a spring wedding? Bridal stylists say yes, as these accessories can help create a fun fashion statement that won’t take any attention away from the bride....
Kimchi Fried Rice (Kimchi Bokkeumbap in Korean) is quick, easy, and inexpensive to make, yet this humble meal tastes simply marvelous. Kimchi is made of fermented vegetables (napa cabbage, radish, scallion, and cucumber are used) and it’s a staple in the Korean diet. It tastes spicy and sour and has a pungent smell. If you have never had kimchi before, or don’t like eating kimchi by itself, try this fried rice recipe because once kimchi is cooked, it loses its pungent taste and leaves just delightful spicy, refreshing, tangy flavors....
