One• of the first introdue- .
tions to handicraft I can recall
was working with PaPer.
As a small child I can re- .
member how delighted I was
to discover that paper could
curl, be twisted, bent, folded,
sculptured and that one could
make a fantastic number of
assorted object* from paper.,
Through' the years I've used
this knowledgein many ways.
One of the most satisfying
has beep to make table deco,
tations for numerous lun-
cheons and dinners. The Eas-
ter season is upon us and once
again ladies clubs all over the
country will bemeeding at-
tractive and economical deco-
' rat**, which they can make
for themselves.
Simple but effective deco- •
rations are these with see-
through tubes, that take no
great artistic talent and are
relatively inexpensive. In
fact, these are so easy even
the youngsters can jOin inthe
fun of creating them.
Materials required are
white glue, rulerobobby pins
or clip -type, pin -curl holders, °
scissors, construction paper,
'tissue paper, styrofdam (for
base) and straight pins.
The finished decoration can
be a rabbit, duck, chicken,
hedgehog, or fish, or any de-
sign you dream up. The
formed outline will be ftlled
with tiny curled or folded
pieces of paper, glued to-
gether to fill the basicfigure.
Let's assume we've decided
on a duck form. To make the
form, draw a silhouette de-
sign on a large, piece of paper.
Cut a strip one inch wide and
long enough to go around the
entire outline. Several pieces
may, be glued together and
pinned with a clip until dry, in
order to get the necessary
length:
• Place a cut side on the out-
line fold at beak and tail enc10
I find a large piece of styro-
foam under the paper, helps
because I canplace straight
pins in it to hold the paper m
position as I fold and bend the
•sttip to form the neck, tail,
etc. (Fig. 1): To make the fill-
ers, cut strips of 'construction
paper one inch wide. Make
tubes in various diameters,
make fold stars, etc., and set
aside until you are ready lo
assemble.
When you have An, assort-
ment of designs completed,
fill the basic form with them,
• gluing only where they tatlit
each other. They maybe held
with bobby Ping until dry. .
If you wish togive addition-
al depth and o1or 40 your
piece, glue edges of several of
Your Mier pieces to tissue pa-
per and when dry cut excess
tissue away around the edge.
When the silhouette is filled
and the glue has dried set the
piece up and place in the cen-
ter of a small square of styro-
foam, hold hi place with
straight pins stuck through
the bottom of the paper form
and styrofoam.
A posy base may be made
from three-inch wide strips of
green tissue slit to a .depth of
about two inches at quarter -
inch intervals. Curl cut pieces
with blunt side of scissors.
Fasten these pieces at ran-
dom over the styrofoam to re-
semble curley grass. You
may wish to add some paper
flowers, or colored easter
eggs for interest (Fig. 3).
Mobils made of heart, dia-
mond, flower, star, etc., de-
signs are delightful to behold
and are fun for children to
create, or you may like to use
these designs for trivets, or
glue to felt and frame.
Experiment and have fun.
