Show PORTFOLIO FOR PERIODICALS. A pretty and inexpensive portfolio ; for papers or periodicals can be made ' by covering two pieces of heavy cardboard card-board with any kind of fancy cretonne or silk. The one I originated, Eaid a clever woman, consisted wholly of materials ma-terials found in the house. I covered corrugated cardboard with a piece of j silkoline, pasted smoothly over one j side of each cover. For a lining I used some silesia which was found in 1 my piece bag. Next I used heavy era-j era-j broidery silk to sew together the cov-I cov-I crlng, cardboard and lining taking j long stitches and sewing over and j over all along the four edges and back f again. This gives a crosa-stltch effect ef-fect on the edge: theu two holes were punched, about two inches from tho y end, in each cover. Into these were a run several strands of the embroidery Bilk, which were tied into cute little bows. Leave the strands very loose, to allow space for several periodicals. In the opposite side of the cover a single hole may be punched on the middle edge for strands if one desires de-sires to tie the paperB in securely. |
