HOW TO FRINGE CREPE PAPER

Must First Be Crushed Into Wrinkles 80 That ft Will Have the Appearance of Being Curled. When one is using crepe paper and tissue paper in decorations let the writer tell how to fringe both kinds. Fold the paper several times, then dip it closely to make a very fine fringe. Gather the paper together and twist the fringe around in the palm - of the hand. This will crush the fringe into thousands of little wrinkles so that it will look curled when the paper is unfolded. To make ruffles on plain tissue par per, fold it over a hat pin and push the paper gently, a little at a time, toward the hat pin head. Unfold it, and you have a double ruffle. Cut it along the creased line. To make a puffing to place around a heartshaped box, turn a hem on each side of the paper and gather over'the hat pin. Paste it carefuly to the edge of the box.
