Fig. 495.—Put the two halves together in this way.
Place the middle-sized blossom on the paper with the lower part next to the lower portion of the first and largest flower, in the same way that the back support of the passion flower meets the lily stems in [Fig. 491]. Trace this twice as you did the first design. The last and smallest flower must be traced in like manner. Notice in [Fig. 491] that the leaves of the violet meet the lower part of the passion flower, while the blossom of the violet meets the outline of the blossom.
When you comprehend the principle the work will be very easy. Paste each bright blossom immediately in front of its back support; then cut out the entire long card and bend it into three tents which will enable the flowers to stand up and look very attractive. These floral cards may be folded and brought together in flat layers, to be sent by mail without danger of injury.
