Two Good Ideas
Dear Aunt Daisy, Here are two good ideas. One will appeal to the artistic-minded; the other is more practical. First, then, how to turn a jam-jar into a pretty vase. Give the jar a coat of some good enamel, in any shade preferred. Let dry; then, using a small paint brush, dab the jar all over with aeroplane dope, in various colours — blue. green, red, white, yellow, etc. The effect is mosaic in appearance, and looks really quite expensive, though actually, the aeroplane dope is cheap enough. I have done several, and they look very nice, and dry so quickly. Another method is to pour several colours into a saucer or a lid, and dab on together. An artistic person will think up Various ideas. The practical hint is to help out with the blanket problem. Cut new, large sacks down both sides; sew two or three together, cover with cretonne, and you have a warm bed-covering. If not needed long, cut down one side, and along the bottom; sew two together and cover as before. Cheap and. warm, |
