This Christmas
. . . Make
Your
Decorations!
Why buy the Christmas
spirit when you an make it.
Just a little patience, a few
household discards and
ingenuity, will bring you a
holiday experience you’ll enjoy
much more than store bought
tree-trimmings ... and, the
making of such decorations is
an activity that brings the
whole family together. After
all, isn’t that what Christmas isl
all about? Essence editor,
Barbara Hart offers these
suggestions:
Denim Ginerbread Man -
Create a denim gingerbread
man from an old pair of denim
jeans. Cut out 2 shapes and
place right sides out. Sew 2
pieces together l A inch from
edge with bright green or red
embroidery wool in chain
stitch. Leave 1 inch unsewn for
stuffing; once stuffed, close
seam and finish in chain stitch.
Add felt facial features and
string embroidery yarn to form
loop for hanging.
Felt Candy Cane - This
candy cane is done up in bright
felt and trimmed in shiny
metallic braid. Trace shape and
cut 2. Cut a 3-inch long strip of
hanging. Glue cand cane
together l A inch from edge
placing felt loop at top. Trim
with self-sticking trimming.
Felt House - The felt house
is a half-pint milk carton. Glue
red felt to the top of carton,
and green felt to sides and
bottom. From green felt, cut
rectangles to form door and
windows; glue on. Apply gold
trim around door and
windows. Frame house top and
sides in gold braid.
Cone Angel - Start with a
semi-circle of heavy paper; cut
blue felt to shape and glue on
paper. Add 2 rows of
seif-sticking lace trim. Roll into
cone shape, glueing 2
overlapping edges together. Cut
off tip of cone; glue on
styrofoam ball. Add felt facial
features and cotton for hair.
Form pipe cleaner wings and
halo and glue securely to
center back. Cut arms out of
felt and glue onto cone.
Glittery Ball - Divide
styrofoam ball down center.
Spiral Self-adhesive gold fringe
on each side of center. Glue
together with fringe ends at
center

Mr. Murphy said. “The need to
support these colleges, to keep
them in existence, and to help
them flourish, so that these
young Blacks will not miss a
college education, is
imperative.”

following his graduation from
the University of Illinois and
became vice chairman of GM’s

the ranks. On Feb. 1, 1973, he
