=Materials Required:= Two circular pieces of leather about 3 1/2 inches in diameter, 3 circular pieces of natural-coloured chamois about 3 inches in diameter, A strip of leather 1/4 inch wide and 1/4 yard long, 1 skein of beads, No. 3-0, 1 skein of beads, No. 3-0, of another colour. [Illustration: FIG. 80] A pen wiper is such a usual present that you may think no one would care for it, but look around and you will surely find a big brother or sister, or perhaps a friend, who hasn't one. And this is such an interesting pen wiper to make. It is very simple, just two round pieces of leather and three of chamois. The top piece of leather has the design shown in Fig. 80 worked on it in beads of a colour that will look well with the leather you have chosen. Black and crystal beads will harmonise with red leather or dark-green crystal and opaque white. If the leather is not so bright a colour, the beads may be more gay. Work the design with the stitch described in the directions for making an Indian beaded shirt in Chapter V., bringing the strings of beads farther apart at the outer edge of the circle than on the inside. When the beadwork is done, put the pieces of leather together with the chamois ones between, mark two dots a quarter of an inch apart at the centre of the top, punch holes through the dots and then through the other pieces of chamois and leather. A bodkin threaded with a strip of leather is then run down through one hole, up through the other, and the ends are knotted together and cut quite short. _Baby's Worsted Ball_ =Materials Required:= A piece of thin cardboard a foot square, Odds and ends of worsted, A worsted needle, A piece of string, Scissors.
