Patterns
for
Petals.
Having
procured
two
good
specimens
of
the
flower
you
wish
to
imitate,
carefully
pull
off
the
petals
of
one,
and,
with
a
piece
of
tissue
paper,
cut
out
the
shape
of
each,
taking
care
to
leave
the
shaft
of
the
feather
at
least
half
an
inch
longer
than
the
petal
of
the
flower.
Carefully
bend
the
feather
with
the
thumb
and
finger
to
the
proper
shape;
mind
not
to
break
the
web.

Stem
and
Heart
of
a
Flower.
Take
a
piece
of
wire
six
inches
long;
across
the
top
lay
a
small
piece
of
cotton
wool,
turn
the
wire
over
it,
and
wind
it
round
until
it
is
the
size
of
the
heart
or
centre
of
the
flower
you
are
going
to
imitate.
If
a
single
flower,
cover
it
with
paste
or
velvet
of
the
proper
colour,
and
round
it
must
be
arranged
the
stamens;
these
are
made
of
fine
Indian
silk,
or
feathers
may
be
used
for
this
purpose.
After
the
petals
have
been
attached,
the
silk
or
feather
is
dipped
into
gum,
and
then
into
the
farina.
Place
the
petals
round,
one
at
time,
and
wind
them
on
with
Moravian
cotton,
No.
4.
Arrange
them
as
nearly
like
the
flower
you
have
for
a
copy
as
possible.
Cut
the
stems
of
the
feathers
even,
and
then
make
the
calyx
of
feathers,
cut
like
the
pattern
or
natural
flower.
For
the
small
flowers
the
calyx
is
made
with
paste.
Cover
the
stems
with
paper
or
silk
the
same
as
the
flowers;
the
paper
must
be
cut
in
narrow
strips,
about
a
quarter
of
an
inch
wide.
