THIS GIRL MADE A
NEAT PIN CUSHION
FROM A CANDY BOX


Often YOU get cardboard boxes
from the downtown shops. Don't
throw them away, because you can
make from them many attractive ar
ticles for your room, and they will
give you something to do with your
hands IN idle moments.
The writer has a young friend
who made a most charming pin
cushion for her bureau from a small.
fat. round candy box. Ozly the
box itself is used. and II is stuffed
with wool The top IS covered with
a piece Of blue silk. Around the
outside OF the box the girl has
tackled with thread. strip of silk
20 match. To finish of the piece
my friend bought a half yard of
tiny silk flowers AZ a downtown
shop. and these she glued around
the edge Of the bcx, thus hiding her
stitches.
Hat boxes are often unsightly
things. but they can be made very
attractive by covering them with
wall paper. This same friend of
mine has two hat boxes she fixed
IN that way. One IS covered with
Nall paper Of a violet design and the
other Is covered with rose-patterned
paper
Cut a broad strip Of paper to Mt
around the body Of the box, and a
narrow one to go around the side
OF the lid. Lay the cover of the
box on the wall paper and cut a
piece 10 mt Paste may be used in
putting on the paper.
A common shoe box IS not the
most attractive thing in the world,
either, but it can be made quite pre-
sentable by covering 1t with chintz
in a flower pattern. Wall paper
will do instead of cloth. To ft the
chintz 10 the box lay II on a large
piece Of the cloth and trim pieces To
ut. Cut out the corners so that the
cloth will glue evenly to the box.
