Now, take the seeds from their hard, glossy cases, again hold the slice up to the light and lo, in the centre of the slice, you will find a five-pointed star which twinkles as the light shines through.
You can add to this and make a pretty, shining pattern in this way: Take a wooden toothpick, and with its pointed end pierce little holes all along the edge of the flower pattern; then make a loop of little holes above one of the petals (Q, [Fig. 213]), and still another above that one (R, [Fig. 213]). Pierce the edges of all the petals and make the same kind of double loops above them also, then the design will be like [Fig. 214]. Hold it up to the light, turn it this way and that and your slice of apple will look as if spangled with glittering diamonds. [Fig. 215] shows a wheel design which you can make of another slice.
