2. Fasten on an extra piece of cardboard, which will project for the top.
3. Use an empty twist spool for the “jardiniere.” Cut a strip of green paper the height you wish your plant to be; roll this firmly so it will just fit, and stand up in the hole of the spool.
4. With sharp point of scissors cut down the roll in several places. Spread out and shape the “leaves.”
5. Fasten in some small artificial flowers, or stick in toothpicks or straws, with bits of bright paper tied or glued on like flowers.
A LITTLE FLORIST.
Gild your spool to look like brass,
And paint your leaves a pretty green;
Fasten a small artificial flower,
Like those on growing plants you’ve seen.
