Tips on Hoer to Make
Modern Decorations
Want some especially attrac-
tive `Christmas`decorations this
year? And want to provide the
children and yourself - with
the, fun of waking them? All
you need are two basic items:
aluminum foil and paper cups.
Following the directions is
easy. Some other decorations,
you may have found, would
take you until neXt Christmas
before you succeeded in creat-
ing them. Not so these.
• Sliver Bells
Use aluminum foil_.to cover
paper cups. Use foil that's a
htttlet wider•-that—the®height -of
the cup. Roll it around, then
tuck it in at top and bottom.
Puncture the bottom of the
cup—that's the top of the bell.
Run a ribbon through the loop
at • the end of a jingle bell.
Thera draw the end of the .rib-
bon through the hole in the
cup. Knot the ribbon inside so
that the jingle, bell hangs just
below the rim of the cup. Now
de irate the bell with glitter.

foil ---only this time spread glue
on the cups first. Stand the
cup' on the table with open end
up. Then cut vertical slits along
the sides of the cup—but not
quite down to the base.
Now invert the cup. Put your
fingers inside, and press — the
cup will change into an urn.
Decorate it with glitter. (A
simpler way is to use just the
ct?vered cup, tied with the rib-
bon handle.) You care fill the
basket with anything that oc-
curs to you --berries or sweets,
for example.
'Star
�"�I�iti pnnet1 m" drays
down the sides of a cup so
that there are ►five equal -divis-
ions. Cut along the lines down
to the base. Press the cup so
that it's flat. Then use your
scissors to make- points out of
the five leaves.
Place the paper onto alumin-
um foil that's about the same
size. Use tape that's sticky on
both sides, or double -fold the
tape, to hold the paper to the
foil. Slit the foil 'between the
points, and fold it 'under—so
only ane side is covered. • Cut
off excess foil with scissors.
Now do. the same thing for the
other side of the star. You can
decorate it with glitter and
tinsel.
Star Basket
Just glue the star onto t
base of a basket ' or edve
paper cup, and spread' out the
points into a fan-like effect.
Flower
Make slits all around the
sides of the paper cup, at equal
intervals. Press flat. Place it
on 'aluminum foil strip that's
about the same size. Use double -
face tape or folded tape to hold
tween the "petals," then fold
the foil around the petals.. To
make the 'petals rounded, roll,
them over a pencil.
,U,se tinsel to decorate, and
hold it in- place with -glue.
Christmas balls or a ribbon bow
may be tied on with needle and
thread — leave some thread
loose for hanging.
Centkepiece
First equip yourself with an
eight -ounce . cottage cheese con -
tamer and a 16 -ounce one; a
four -ounce food - cup; and a
cone-shaped. water cup. What
are you going to make? A tree!
Turn all the cups upside'
down, and fit them into each
other, using the largest one as
the base. The cone cup at the
top will stay put if -you use a
toothpick to .attach it to the
food cup.
Wrap the tree in green crepe
paper, and secure it with tape.
Cut out strips of the7remaining
crepe paper; fringe the strips
and wrap them diagonally
around the tree. Secure them
with tape at the top and a
staple at the bottom. Then
decorate the tree. A brighLred
tablecloth presents a good con-
trast.
Candle .Holders
Cover cottage cheese contain-
ers and cold- cups with alumin-
um foil. Place one cold cup,
upside down, into each cottage
cheese container. Puncture the
bottom of each cold cup, and
insert the Christmas candle':
Place colored Christmas balls
mind- -tire-sides- -of-the caw
tainer. Other containers may
hoid candy, nuts, and so on.
Place- Cards
Cover cold cup0,- with green,
crepe paper, then' turn them
upsid2 down. Puncture the
bottom, and insert a candy
cane. Drape tinsel around the
top, and paste' the name onto
the side of the cup.
Plates, Cups, Bowls
With the new, printed design
compartment plates, you may
serve ioe cream, sandwiches,
and eake all on One plate. Dew-
drop cups, which come in
Christmas colors, will complete
the decor. The serving bowls
can be cottage cheese contain-
ers covered with aluminum foil.
All these decorations — from
basket to centrepiece — , you
should find easy to make, fun
to work on, and attractive to
look at.
