Front row, left to right:

GIFT WRAP GROOMING. Package beauty begins when “Scotch” Cellophane Tape holds paper securely in place.

STAY-PRETTY WRAP. It still looks pretty when box is opened. Just cover lid and base separately. Cut paper to cover lid, plus 1 inch extra on each side. Fold edges inside lid and fasten with tape (a). Cover base same as lid. Idea shown: Arrange thin paper strips in “x’s” on table. Press lengths of tape over “x’s” to pick them up and tape to box.

a

PICTURAMA. Child’s play. Use magazine scenes for gift paper. For larger boxes, tape two or more pictures together.

SPARKLING SYMMETRY. Lovely! Wrap 3 loops of tape, sticky side out, around a length of cardboard; space evenly (b). Place on box and press down loops; slip out cardboard (c). Repeat, alternating direction of loops on package. Sprinkle with glitter for the finishing touch.

Back row, left to right:

CHECKERBOARD. Imaginative! Tape down equal-sized squares of construction paper to gift wrap. Make small loops of tape, sticky side out (d) and place on box. Press wrapped Christmas candies to tape loops.

MONEY TREE. Attach new pennies to gift wrap with tape loops (d above) in rows as shown. For extra glamor between pennies, fold back ends on lengths of tape (e) and press, sticky side out, to box. Sprinkle with glitter.

e

SNOWFLAKE DAZZLER. So sparkly! Cut 2 snowflake shapes from gift wrap paper. Use first for package center; cut second into four equal parts for corners (f). Back up openings with cellophane tape and sprinkle with glitter. Attach to box with tape loops (d above).

SHIRT TALE. Lively, masculine! Make shirt outline with colorful gift tape. Attach buttons with “Scotch” Cellophane Tape (a). Add a “Sasheen” bow tie.

“FUN UNLIMITED” TRAIN. Pure whimsey! Bright gift tape outlines train. For button “wheels” and “eyes,” make plain tape loops, sticky side out (b). Place loops on package; firmly press buttons to loops. Tape on gift paper cylinders for “nose” and smokestack, add a puff of cotton for smoke.

b

DIAMOND GLITTER. Eye-stopping! Wind gift tape, sticky side out, around ruler (c). Place ruler on box; press down “spiral” securely. Ease out ruler (d). Make another “spiral” and place beside first on package. Sprinkle with glitter.

DOUBLE-TAKE TAPE. Top each length of tape with a narrow width in contrasting color. Only the magic of gift tape permits such “stop-and-start” designs!

NAME DROPPER. No mistaking gifts when you spell out names in gift tape (e). Tip: For extra ease, form letters first on any glass surface; lift all and place on box.

e

b

(b) Press circle together and fold in half. Start from outside edge and cut off corners, leaving ⅛″ center.

c

(c) Using “tie” ribbon, knot securely at center notch.

### COMPLETING THE “MAGIC BOW”:

d

(d) Pull out inside loop to left, then down and across center 6 notch with twist.

e

(e) Repeat this action, pulling out next inside loop to right.

f

(f) Continue alternating loops until all are pulled out at both ends.

Left row, top to bottom:

(Just a few of the lovely effects possible with “Magic Bows”.)

FRANKLY FEMININE. Christmas Stripe “Decorette” brand Ribbon makes this lacy and lovely “Magic Bow”.

BOWS APLENTY. A pair of contrasting “Magic Bows” on Bows wrapping paper.

Ask for the “Magic Bow” ribbons—instructions on every roll.

## Only the “Magic Bow” way lets you make these scissor-snip variations

Gift wraps to make eyes dance—and all stemming from the basic “Magic Bow”. Only “Sasheen” brand Ribbon, with its special backing, makes possible these ingenious variations.

Beauty team: “Sasheen” & color-matched gift papers

Front row, left to right:

FROU-FROU BOW. Pert, frilly! Make a pre-fab “Magic Bow”. Cut from outer edge, crossing over ends of loops (a). Repeat at opposite end. Pull out loops as in “Magic Bow”.

a

SHOOTING STAR BOW. A two-tone beauty! Make the pre-fab “Magic Bow”, starting by rolling together equal lengths of “Sasheen” in contrasting colors. Make angle cuts at each end (b). Pull out loops as in “Magic Bow”.

b

PINWHEEL BOW. A whirl of color here in lacy “Decorette.” Tie a pre-fab “Magic Bow” making only 6 or 7 turns for loop. Pull out all loops to one side (not left and right) and arrange (c).

PETITE WREATH. Make Petite Bows the “Magic Bow” way with 1 yard of “Sasheen”. Use “tie” ribbon of contrasting color and knot to show. Tape bows to box.

IDENTIFY GIFT GIVERS. End “thank you” note mix-ups. Keep “Scotch” Cellophane Tape at hand during the bustle of opening gifts: use it to attach givers’ names to packages (or to gifts) as they’re opened.

STOCKING STUFFER. Drop several rolls of “Scotch” Cellophane Tape ... or leftover rolls of Gift Tape ... in the youngsters’ Christmas stockings. Just watch them put the tape to creative use during many play time hours.

14

a

CHRISTMAS STORY ON TAPE. The holiday classic, “’Twas the Night Before Christmas”, re-told and pictured on a roll of “Scotch” Gift Tape. Fun to tell from start to finish on children’s gift wraps or Christmas cards.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
