Materials required:
Pink, green, yellow tissue paper; white tracing paper; very fine wire; heavy wire for stem; yellow beads; small piece beeswax; pair small pincers; scissors; glue.
1. To make the corolla,—
(a) Lay a piece of pink tissue paper over the pattern of the corolla shown in the picture on the next page.
(b) Cut out; and curl the tips of the petals, by drawing them through between the thumb and blade of the scissors, just as your mother does ostrich feathers.
