Wrap Up the Prettiest Presents of the Season SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLA1NDEALER - PAGE 27 - TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1*77 Nothing says "Merry Christmas" as gayly as brightly wrapped gifts. And nothing makes presents look so special as festive, fluffy "Magic Bows". One of the nicest things about these lovely ribbon creations is that although they look difficult to make, they are really quite easy to do, especially with shiny, reversible 3M "Sasheen" ribbon. This colorful ribbon now comes in a clever new keeper pack that takes the hassle out of Christmas- ribbon dispensing by offer­ ing a selection of several colors and a unique side "lock" that keeps individual rolls in place when not in use. It couldn't be neater, easier or more economical! To make holiday-package wrapping as simple as pos­ sible, it's a good idea to or­ ganize all your supplies in advance, such as ribbons, wrapping paper, tape and scissors. Gather them to­ gether in a convenient box so that everything will be handy when you're ready. "Scotch" Magic Transpar­ ent tape does a wonderful job on packages because it is virtually invisible and non-yellowing. You can even write on it, which makes for easy coding and keeping track of all the gifts you've so painstakingly wrapped. Practice making a couple of "M agic Bows" before you start the bulk of your wrap- ing. Easy-to-follow, illus­ trated instructions are in­ cluded in every keeper HOTPOINT OOKS YOUR FOOD TO THE EXACT!

Front ( S. Rte. 31 ) McHeniy, 385 0882 pack. To get you started, here are the basics: Take two or three yards of the color you want, form a circle, tape it inside and roll the ribbon up. Then fold the roll in half and cut off the corners, leaving X" center. Tie the center of the notch with a narrow strip, cut from an 8-inch length of ribbon. Then bring the loop down across the center with a quick twist, and re­ peat, pulling the next loop from the same end with your left index finger. Follow these steps until all the loops on both sides are fluffed out. You'll love the results! Keeping Track of Toys: Your children will doubt­ lessly receive many toys and games for Christmas gifts. A week later, you are likely to find these games and toys littered around your house, waiting for the children to pick them up. Why not create a place for these gifts and make pick­ ing them up a little easier for the children and for you! Use vinyl tape in differ­ ent colon to code toys and shelves. For instance, a doll could have a very small piece of red tape on the bottom of her foot. A larg­ er piece of the same red tape can be placed on the appropriate shelf where the doll should stay when she is not being used. This same idea has been used sucessfully for many years by kindergarten and nursery school teachers. Little children learn to identify colors along with a sense of responsibility for their possessions. He who refuses praise only wants to be praised again. -Le Rochefoucauld.
