CREPE PAPER BAGS
Latterly crepe paper has been put to many uses, the newest of which is for the making of the popular envelope bag. A paper handbag sounds absurdly fragile, but crepe paper is in reality very tough, and when it is folded and plaited for weaving the bag
it is stronger still. When the paper is cut and folded into strips a number of them are fixed side by side upon a table with drawing pins. A shorter strip is fixed at right angles, and then the weaving begins, over and under, each strip being fixed at the end. When all the strips have been woven in, they are sewn around
inside the pins, removing the latter as they are reached. The plaited papei is then ready for making up and lining in the ordinary way. The edges art bound with ribbon.
