Cut Gilt Paper Disks
two inches in diameter ([Fig. 30]); fold each disk through the centre ([Fig. 31]), then fold again crosswise through the middle of the first fold ([Fig. 32]). Fold once more ([Fig. 33]), and, following the dotted lines on [Fig. 33], cut the points as shown in [Fig. 34] and you will have the eight-pointed star ([Fig. 35]). While the point is still folded with a sharp pair of scissors clip off the point (A, [Fig. 34]). This makes the hole in the centre of the star (B, [Fig. 35]). Through the hole in each star thread the two ends of a strong string. Cover the under side of the star with paste, separate the two ends of the string and hold them down on each side of the egg ([Fig. 36]), then draw the star down on to the shell over the strings, and press tightly in place until the paste holds ([Fig. 37]). Clip off the ends of the string that extend below the star.
