“Too pretty to throw away.”
On Christmas Eve or
Christmas morning, as beau-
tifully-wrapped packages are’
opened, this remark is likely
to be often repeated. Though

the gift’ wrappings do indeed :
seem - “too pretty to ‘throw.

away,” they must. usually’ be
consigned to the wastebasket.
After ‘all; what can be done

_ with used’ gift wraps, “once -
Christmas is over?

One answer might be:
build a castle!

Save the most ‘beautiful ° oy

and colorful of the gift wrap-

pings, find some laundry:
. eardboards, follow’ a, simple

plan — and ‘the result is a

, cardboard castle.

Suggested by a. manufac-
turer of: gift: wrapping. pa-

plan might be a: Christmas-
afternoon. project. for the
children: After the first gifts-
exchange excitement is over,
youngsters may appreciate a
J quiet pastime, and the’ card-
board ‘castle: offers an extra

-. advantage? ee it’s as’

) Although ‘the plan is ‘sim- *
“ple, adult: guidance. may. be

required — or at-least,: the
‘aduits can pretend that it is,
iso they can ‘get in on the fun.

* Scissors, ‘a. ruler. and rub-

“ber. cement ‘are the only.

equipment required, in addi-
tion to the gift wraps and

-cardboards. -.< ie
Begin by* cutting 24 pieces

of. cardboard, each five inch-
es. by - Seven. inches. -Cement

gift wraps to each side and
trim the ‘edges. ‘-

To make Type “A” cards,
cut one and one-quarter inch
slits in 22 of the:cards. Each

card should have six slits, *

and the’slits should be placed

‘as follows: one slit on each -

five-inch side of the card, at

the center or two and one- *

half inches from the. outer

| edge; two slits on eacb seven-

inch side of the card, with
each such slit placed one and
@ quarter inches’ from ‘the
outer edge.

For the remaining two

Type “B” cards, the slits can ™

be omitted on ‘the five-inch

side. Two slits should:be cut —

‘as described on‘ one seven-.
inch side of the’ card

other _seven-inch side, the _

slits should be diagonal. —
placed: two and ‘a quarter

inches: from the ‘outer edge ~

and cut ona slant to.two and
one-eighth inch depth.

» Assemble” the castle by
joining Type “A” cards at

. right. angles, alternating

pairs.: At. intervals, insert

~- cards horizontally for an in-

teresting, balconied effect.
Reserve two Type “A" cards

“1 for ‘roof.

"Use ‘Type “B”-cards at top
of castle, where the slanted
“notches will receive the: ‘Type
“A” roof pieces.
