Fig. 527.—A little hanging basket.
The strawberry is in reality a candy box. Take a fine-looking egg and blow out its contents, then dye or paint it red and with black ink mark the dots as in [Fig. 525]. Next fill the egg-shell with small candies and cover the opening at the top with a piece of green tissue paper cut like [Fig. 526]. Fasten the paper on the shell with paste used sparingly and only where it is necessary. On the top of the strawberry glue a bow of narrow green ribbon and the candy box will be finished and ready for a unique Easter gift.

A Little Hanging Basket
can be fashioned from half an egg-shell with narrow ribbon pasted over its edge, a bow of the ribbon on the bottom and two more at the sides covering the ends of a loop of the same narrow ribbon securely glued on the shell ([Fig. 527]).
