To Make a Wild Rose

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.

2. Trace, through a piece of tracing paper, the calyx, and foliage, as shown in the picture. Cut out, and use for patterns in cutting green tissue paper calyx and leaves.
