A picnic hamper is a boon to holidaymakers spending a day in the bush or at the seaside, states an exchange. It is an expensive luxury if purchased outright, but women with nimble fingers can convert an old suitcase to fulfil the requirements excellently. Line the case with white oilcloth and make slits in the lid to attach tapes or elastic bands for holding the cutlery. Attach others in the corners for holding the thermos flasks. Arrange biscuit tins for the provisions, add paper plates and cups. Fold a tablecloth over the flasks and food, and the whole will carry perfectly and securely.
