Improvements in the Means of Making Decorations of Paper, Linen,
Cotton, Wool, Silk, and Jute Fabrics.
ALICE LIPSCOMBE Penlee Linkfield Street Redhill Surrey Spinster no
occupation do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
To make paper or woven fabric decorations according to my invention I take a
perforated plate of metal, wood, or other suitable material; or trellis work or
netting made of wire, cane, or other suitable material, and I cover the same loosely
on one side with the paper or woven fabric to be employed. I then push through
the perforations, or trellis work, part of the material, so as to form a protuberance
on the other side; the paper or woven fabric so protruded can then either be fixed
if desired as then placed, or it can be cut into various shapes of flowers, fruits or
other things, or I may use the perforated plate or trellis work to enable me to
form the required protuberances of paper or fabric, and I may afterwards remove
the whole for manipulating and cutting into various shapes and use it for
decorations without the perforated or trellis supports.

Improvements in the Means of Making Decorations of Paper, Linen,
Cotton, Wool, Silk, and Jute Fabrics.
ALICE LIPSCOMBE Penlee, Linkfield Street Redhill, Surrey, Spinster, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
To make paper or woven fabric decorations according to my invention, I take
a perforated plate made of metal, wood, or other suitable material, or trellis work,
or netting made of wire, cord, cane, or other suitable material, and I cover the
same loosely on one side with the paper or woven fabric to be employed for the
decorations. I then push through the perforations in plates, or through the
trellis work, or netting, part of the material, so as to form a protuberance on
the other side; the paper or woven fabric so protruded, I then either fix as placed,
or I may cut it into various shapes of flowers, fruits, or other things. As a
variation of the above I may first cut the materials to be used in the decorations
into the forms of petals of flowers, or leaves, or imitations of other things, and
afterwards pass so much of them as may be required through the perforated plates,
or trellis work, or netting, and then I fix them in position. I may also use the
perforated plates, or trellis work, or netting, to enable me to form the required
protuberances of paper or fabric, and I may afterwards
remove

the perforated plates, or trellis work, or netting supports.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is ;
The combination of the various parts and materials, used to make this
particular class of decorations, as herein fully set forth and described.
