To Make the Little Lady Bon-Bons

To Make the Little Lady Bon-Bons.

Make a cone out of a piece of stiff brown paper, about six inches high. Insert a tiny celluloid doll in top and secure at waist. Make a double tiered skirt of crinkled paper, hair or wadding and a tiny poke bonnet. Tie a piece of ribbon around waist-line and finish with bow at back.

The small umbrella is made with a piece of soft wire covered with paper for handle. Cut a circular piece, push handle through the centre and secure. Crease paper in folds to represent the handle at top. Fill cone with any novelties and fasten by cutting a piece of cardboard to fit at bottom.

The basket is made of any stiff paper. Cut a circle about two inches in diameter and then sew a straight piece on about 2 1/2 inches in height. Make some rose petals out of crinkled paper and sew around, using green paper for the bottom to represent leaves. Fasten a handle across with any soft wire covered with paper to match the basket. Sew a tiny fringe inside and fill with sweets.
