THINGS TO MAKE WITH PAPER
ROPE.
BY DOROTHY PERKINS.

BY DOROTHY PERKINS.
There is a brand new idea for max
ing pretty baskets, trays and boxes,
and | am going to tell you all about
it because the work is very easy to
do and you will find it a great deal Of
fun. All that you need are some card
board boxes for the foundations Of
the articles, crepe paper out OF which
to twist rope strands for covering ma
terial, glue and some light wire for
handles. You can buy the crepe pa.
per at almost any stationery store.
In fact strands of paper rope are
sold ready twisted, but you can twist
them just as well yourself and have
the fun Of doing it, saving money be
sides. Buy a roll of crepe paper OF
any color you may select. A chocolate
brown is pretty for the articles here
described.
Open the roll OF crepe paper and cut
the entire length into eight strips OF
equal width. That will make strips
about two and a half inches wide. Tc
