About This Book

A practical, illustrated handbook that encourages girls to develop manual skill and resourcefulness through a variety of do-it-yourself projects. It begins with basic workshop guidance and simple carpentry for small furniture and fittings, then moves to decorative and seasonal crafts using eggs, paper, and natural materials. Sections cover collecting and mounting pictures, making valentines, vegetable animals and lanterns, pasteboard models, ink sketches, moving toys, homemade pyrotechnics, monotype printing, and Priscilla rugs with dyeing techniques. Each project emphasizes step-by-step instruction, accessible tools and materials, and opportunities for creative play and useful household work.

Transcriber’s Note:

It was not possible to always reproduce the flow of text around the many figures and illustrations. These will appear in approximately the same arrangement. Occasionally, numbered full page illustrations appeared out of order in the original.

On p. 164, the composite illustration includes Figures 312 through 322, and resists any attempt to reproduce the individual components. It appears as a single image, with the original captions included in the image itself.

The numbered figures 520, 521 and 522 appear in the text out of sequence, though all references to them are correct. The sequence has been retained here.

The single footnote has been moved to follow the paragraph in which it is referenced.

Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.

Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.

Any corrections are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections table in the note at the end of the text.
