not astonishing how often that
once-a-year season for getting gifts
ready comes around? Here it is time
10 figure out just what we will give
TO our nearest and dearest, plus friends
galore. If these presents are TO be
made by hand and not bought at the
last minute, II is high time that actual
work is commenced.
Perhaps this group of pretty things
that can be made at home, will prove
of inspiration. Just imagine this
beautiful loral-basket piece with its
wonderfully artistic candlesticks grac-
ing the center of ones deapest friends
dining table. Could any gift be love
lier? Or perhaps the sandwich tray
appeals as being more practical.
At any rate crepe paper rope work"
as it is called is most fascinating.
Best of all, While the expense is min
imum. the result is maximum.
OF course, if one has never tried the
work, it is best to begin on some sim
pie article. AS one becomes more
proficient, elaborate designs may be
achieved as per illustrations.
For basket of 4-inch diameter, 6
inches high and a handle s inches
high, materials are necessary as fol-
lows: Two hanks of B-inch crepe
paper rope, II wires for foundation,
two extra long wires for the handle,
one spool covered wire for holding
wires together when starting. one fold
crepe paper 10 match rope for wind
ing wires, one tube glue, one tube
