Interesting applications of this felt
flower work is seen on Japanese straw
baskets. These baskets are inexpen-
sive to buy and lend themselves admir-
ably TO the decoration, The Satchel
shape is the kind to choose for this
purpose; that is, the deep, narrow
baskets, not unlike hemp school bags
in style, though broader at the base.
Arrange the fiat felt flowers and foil
age as a border entirely encircling the
basket, or group the motifs pleasingly
on one side only. The baskets may be
lined or unlined. These same arrange
ments are attractive on scrap baskets
and on covers of work baskets, etc.
Motifs and CoIors.
The modelled blossoms and foliage
and the slashed kind are particularly
felicitous on hats. They may also or
nament scrap baskets and bags of
fabric. Colored burlap bags with felt
flower work trimming are smart, and
cost less than those made of home
spun. Felt or cloth bags follow the
vogue when decorated with either sort
of felt flowers. Colors may be in brill
liant and in sharp contrast to the
article being trimmed or they may be
soft and in accord with the back
ground. For instance, a marvellous
effect can be obtained by using a large
number of shades of brown from the
palest. almost white, to the darkest
Nubian brown against a background
of brown of still another tone.
Felt on Furnishings.
Sofa and floor cushions, table scarfs
and covers for stools and benches.
chair seats, book ends and hangings
are some of the furnishings that lend
themselves admirably to felt work gar
nitures.
