Fig. 45—Little rings ornament the coronet.
Little rings, one inch in diameter, cut like [Fig. 45], ornament the coronet, as shown in [Fig. 44]. They are fastened by the catch at the top through slits cut in the coronet. Make three slits, one below the other, a little over one inch apart, down the middle of the coronet, and on either side of these make six more slits in the position shown on the right half of [Fig. 44]. This gives fifteen slits, for which you must have fifteen rings. These dangling little rings that shake and twinkle with every movement are fascinating little ornaments, and are far prettier than more elaborate designs.
Ear-rings
Quite oriental-looking ear-rings are made like [Fig. 46]. Cut first two single elongated hoops like [Fig. 47], making them almost three inches long and one and three-quarter inches from side to side. These long hoops are to slip over the ears to hold the ear-rings on. Cut two hoops, like D ([Fig. 46]), and two pendants, like E ([Fig. 46]). Fasten the hoop D upon the hoop ([Fig. 46]), and the pendant E upon the hoop D, clasping the pendant by its catch as you did the pendant of the necklace. The children need not follow exactly the shapes of the "danglers" and pendants shown here—let them exercise their own taste in these.

The Bangle Bracelet
The bangle bracelet ([Fig. 48]) is made as in [Fig. 49]. Cut a strip of paper half an inch wide and about eight inches long; make a catch at one end and a slit in the other end, then a little below the middle cut six slits half an inch apart, as in [Fig. 49].
