many layers as you require patterns cut on
the designs at one time through the severa
layers OF the paper with sharp pointed scis
sors. Fas,en the patterns with tacks to thu
frame around each pane Of glass that YOU
wish to decorate. Tie up piece Of putty
in piece of thin muslin, leaving enough o
the latter to hold instead of handle. With
this dabblc all over that part Of the glass
which the pattern leaves bare. When thu
putty on the glass has dried, remove thu
paper ard varnish the glass.
