ICE-CREAM BUCKETS
MAKE PRETTY ARTICLES When you buy ice-cream in the little bucket-shaped containers, save up the containers carefully, for they can bo made into pretty little articles for various uses. After washing and drying them thoroughly, cover with lacquer paint or melted coloured sealing-wax.. Another way is to tear coloured paper into very small pieces and, after coating the bucket with glue, stick thorn all over the surface. Coloured pages from catalogues are useful for this pur-
pose, as they have a nice glazed surface. As these buckets will hold water, they are nice for holding a few violets, pansirs, or other short-stemmed flowers. If you like artificial flowers, fill the buckets with sand, and in this insert the stems of the flowers 60 that they will stand up firmly. The buckets are also very handy for keeping small trinkets together, or with pretty crepe paper tied round them with bright ribbons they can be used on the party table to hold sweets or nut*.
