If you would like the wigwam decorated in real Indian fashion, cut out large colored paper pictures and paste them around the lower part of the wigwam, forming a band of pictures. Be the covering either cloth or paper, it will look well decorated, but the covering must be taken off and the pictures pasted on. The covering should then be adjusted over the poles. One great beauty and attraction of this newspaper Indian material is that effective results can be produced quickly and with little work.
Make
Moccasins
of newspaper, cut like the pattern ([Fig. 170]). For a small pair the paper should measure fifteen inches in length and three and a half inches in width; larger sizes require larger paper.
Fig. 170—Cut moccasins this way.
Fringe the central portion of the longest edge according to the fringe lines on [Fig. 170]. Cut the two boundary lines of fringe, A and A, up to the dotted line; then bend down all dotted lines. Bring the two ends together, allowing the fringe to come on the outside, and fit the point B over the other point B. This finishes the newspaper moccasin ([Fig. 171]).
