Nothing in the world makes so much difference to any item as a dash of originality, and you yourself can add this priceless touch, at very little cost, with one of these edgings.

Usually, final touches are purely decorative. The frosting on a cake, the feather in a hat, the flowers in a room — all are meant simply to add eye-appeal. These edgings, however, in addition to their attractive appearance, have another virtue — they give pleasure in the making. The sense of creative accomplishment in itself is a joyful thing, and of course your completed edging, applied on the article of your choice, will surely add a final touch of charm and delicacy.
