The diagrams above show a bud, a leaf, and an open flower.
On the left, is the diagram of a delightful little bud.
These diagrams are for the flowers at the top right and bottom left corner of the Sachet.Below are shown other flower, leaf, and bud illustrations.
The arrangement of the flowers on the sachet need not, of course, be strictly adhered to. The little buds and blossoms lend themselves to almost any form of treatment. Just two or three of the violets may be used, repeating as desired.
One may be placed at each corner and one in the middle, or they may be arranged in a straight or diagonal strip. The latter would be very pretty.
Pretty boxes have a fascination for most girls. For handkerchiefs, gloves, and the ever-accumulating stock of collars and ribbons, there is no receptacle quite so handy as a box, and, of course, it should be pretty.
box with floral cross-stitch decorationsA Cross-stitch Design is worked on each side of the Box.
A Cross-stitch Design is worked on each side of the Box.
These are expensive to buy, however, and therefore the girl who wants one at little or no cost must make it herself. Moreover, the one you buy is not theonlyone of its kind, whereas the one you make can be.
The rose-box here illustrated has a little cross-stitch pattern worked on every side, and on the lid. This gives a very pretty and original effect. The designs are worked in pink and green “Star Sylko” on white Hardanger canvas, and the box is lined with pale blue.
To make this box, four pieces of thin cardboard 7 inches by 5½ inches are required for the lid and bottom of the box, four pieces 7 inches by 2½ inches for the sides, and four pieces 5½ inches by 2½ inches for the ends. In each case one piece of cardboard is covered with the lining material, and one piece with the canvas, both of which are cut a little larger than the cardboard. In the case of the canvas the cross-stitch design is, of course, worked on before the cardboard is covered.
Having covered all the pieces, proceed to sew them together in pairs—a canvas-covered piece to a lining-covered piece. Then seam the double pieces together to make up the box. This wants to be done carefully to be quite secure, and, at the same time, neat.
Before attaching the lid, the seams and edges are finished off. In the box illustrated this was done with No. 3 white “Star Sylko,” using three strands, and couching down at intervals with white cotton. This is continued down the corners of the box, and completely covers the seams.
The lid is next attached to the back of the top edge with over-sewing, which must be neat and yet strong. Finally, the lid is edged with No. 3 “Star Sylko” in the same way as the box, making a little loop at each corner, and a knot and ends at the back.
Diagrams for working the rosebud cross-stitch designs are given, though some other flower can be worked if preferred.
White canvas, as shown, gives a pretty, delicate effect, but, of course, this soils very quickly, and for a more serviceable box it would bebetter to use a colour. Pale blue or pink would be delightful, or the shades can be chosen to follow the colour scheme of the room. If a plain material is used, of which it is not easy to count the threads, the cross-stitch can be worked over Penelope canvas.

A DIAGRAM FOR THE DESIGN AT THE END OF THE BOX.
Again, if time is limited, it is not actually necessary to work the cross-stitch designs. Some figured material, such as brocade, can be used, or anything that you happen to have by you; but a thin material should not be employed, or it will tear away when you come to join the pieces together.
A particular attraction about this box is that it costs practically nothing. The outside was made from those odd pieces of white canvas which every girl has, and which are too small for the smallest cloth. The lining was of pieces left over from making a summer dressing-gown. The cardboard was from a collection of old boxes and other odd bits carefully saved, and the quantity of ‘Star Sylko,’ from balls already possessed, was very slight.
