A short passage describes cretonne bound gifts to suit every household. It highlights a pair of book ends made from shrink cans as a clever Christmas memento, noting the need to weight them properly to prevent tipping.
A detailed guide describes filling cans with sand and wrapping cretonne with dark backgrounds for book ends. It instructs sewing cretonne around the sides, adding a center top button, and creating a twine outlet with evenly spaced holes. It covers gathering the cloth, attaching a twine holder, and a technique using a cardboard box for a hanging workbox cover.
A described box uses cretonne either stitched along open edges or glued to cardboard, with doubled strulp or ribbon for corner hangers. The compact guide notes a telephone book of big type serving as a quick emergency directory, with sturdy cardboard covers measuring about 6 by 8 inches hinged together by the cretonne binding.
Instructions describe layering cretonne and card stock to form a small basket for a doll. Attach a pentrim edge, divide writing paper into spaces, and add a fancy hanger ring. Use ribbons around the doll neck and basket, gather a ruffle on the doll head, and thread a hemmed strip for a drawstring.
A Neely Tali describes simple, home crafted gifts for Christmas. Readers learn to assemble a handy work basket with end pockets for thread scissors and small articles, using cardboard supports, cotton running, and concealed handles, plus a whisk broom holder and a stationery box as convenient foundations.
A brief how to from a vintage craft page explains trimming a lex to square, removing a side, shaping top and corner for an open bottom, sewing the bow and cover, and wrapping with cretonne. A hanger loop is added, with a hole punched in the back corner to mount. The piece functions as a twine holder and crochet cotton rack.
