Fig. 636.—Rule the paper in this way.
Fig. 637.—Place sections of the design between the lines in this way.
Lay the tracing, pencilled side down, on the wrapping paper, with the upper and lower curves of the flower stem just fitting between the lines G and F ([Fig. 637]). Transfer the tracing to the wrapping paper by going over the lines of the design with your soft pencil; then turn the tracing over and bottom edge up to reverse it and lay it again on the paper, this time with the curves of the flower stem between the lines E and H, and go over the lines of the design again with your soft pencil. Once more reverse the design and bring the curves of the flower stem between the lines G and F. This last section will finish the pattern. In reversing the tracing always allow one-quarter of an inch space between the tips of the two flower petals I and J ([Fig. 637]), and the leaf K ([Fig. 637]).
