for every room of three strips of tissue paper cut five-eighths of an inch wide. Fold each separate strip crosswise through the centre; again fold through the centre, and fold a third time, making eight layers of paper. Cut the folded strip like [Fig. 441], unfold, and you will have [Fig. 442]. Try for a different pattern in each room, and let the colors vary. A soft yellow for kitchen, sage green for living-room, and a light, warm yellow pink for bedroom are a pleasing variety.
Fig. 442.—Frieze opened out.
Brush a thin layer of paste the width of the frieze along the top edge of the walls of the kitchen ([Fig. 424]) and fasten on the yellow frieze. Do the same with the living-room, fastening on the green frieze ([Fig. 425]), and in the bedroom the pink frieze ([Fig. 426]).
Cut a Rug for the Living-Room
from sage-green tissue paper; make it ten inches long and seven and one-half inches wide. Fold the paper lengthwise through the centre, then crosswise through the centre, and a second time crosswise, making eight layers. Cut according to [Fig. 443], unfold once ([Fig. 444]), and cut the designs K and N; fold diagonally the loose corners L according to dotted line and cut design M ([Fig. 445]). Open out the rug ([Fig. 446]).
