Color this small ball with thecrimson paint rubbed on with a small Canton flannel cloth. Cut two more pieces of wire one and one-half inches long, and prepared inexactly the manner. Then you place the periwinkles on their stems;this is done by carefully punching the stem wire through the center of the flower(just enough to bring the ball through on the right side), pressing the flowersup neatly and carefully around the stem. Now twist the ends together, leaving the longest or center stem to project halfan inch above the others. You can now make the leaves. Cut of thin pasteboard or cardboard a pattern like fig. 2. Then out of. FIG. 2.—PERIWINKLE LEAF PATTERN. scraps of white wax, cut by the pattern six pieces like fig. 2, coloring themgreen. These, when stemmed, will make three leaves. For the stems, cut of the wire three pieces one and a half inches long. Taketwo leaves and lay together with the wire laid in between nearly the whole lengthof the leaf; press together firmly, then lay down on the table, and with the pin(first dipped in water) make small veins, as represented by fig. 2. The threeleaves are stemmed together with the cluster of flowers, the leaves projectingabove the flowers.
