Gifts

The possibilities of the use Of crepe
paper for the fashioning Of inexpen-
sive and acceptable Christmas gifts
have never been recognised as they
deft-fingered girl has utilized crepe
paper in her holiday gift preparations,
but seldom has she attempted to en-
plcy the flinsy material save in a
decorative or secondary capacity.
This year she has learned to use
crepe paper in the making of sub
startial gifts and the demonstrators
of this latest of handicrafts have been
kept busy for some weeks furnishing
patterns and suggestions to a small
army of feminine admirers of their
skill
The secret of the stability of this
new paper work, and it's superiority to

crepe material in rope or twisted form.

the twisted paper makes. and. while
1t Is necessary to acquire the knack
of making the ropes. there is practical
~ no end to the number and variety
OF the articles that may be evolved
by an ingenious, Industrious worker.
To make the rope, cut long strips of
the Taper in the width desired. max

wise. This precautfon will allow the
paper to stretch in twisting. Attach
one end of the paper to a rod or bar

the other end. thrust pencil through
the loop. then twist and stretch gen
tsy, turning always to the right until
the rope is tight Keep this taut While
second strip Is similarly treated. turn
both strands together, this time to the
left. until a rope Of the right ttghtness
is secured
Baskets. photo frames and table
mats are easily made from the roped
paper. Cardboard serves as the foun-
dation for this work with glue as an
essential factor. while the judicious
