AN EASTER PINCUSHION
Perhaps mother’s birthday falls this Eastertide, or even if it doesn’t you may like to surprise her with a little Easter gift. The pincushion in our sketch is just the very thing. Cut the top off an egg and thoroughly clean out the inside. Now, with your paints paint some flowers fviolet look very nice), on the outside of the shell. Maks two little holes on opposite sides of the egg, about half-way down, and thread
through them piece of mauve ribbon, eight inches long, sticking the ends to the inside of the shell.
Fill the egg with cotton wool or bran and cover the top with a round piece of mauve-coloured silk, making it a little bigger than the part to be covered. Stick the edges to the inside of the shell. Now tie a piece of ribbon round the top edge of the egg. Lastly, put a few pins into the cushion and your dainty present is complete.
