Material: Cream-colored paper 6 in. x 14 in.; colored paper 9 in. x 11 in.; scissors, ruler and one yard of baby ribbon.

Place the cream-colored paper on the desk, with the long edge toward you.

On the long edge, 1 1/2 inch from the upper right-hand corner, make a dot.

The same distance from the lower right-hand corner, on the long edge, make another. Connect the dots with a line.

On the long edge, 1 1/2 inch from the upper left-hand corner, make a dot.

The same distance from the lower left-hand corner make a dot on the long edge. Draw a line joining the dots. (Fig 1.)

Make a row of dots 1/2 inch apart across each short edge, and join the dots with lines (Fig. i), and cut the paper into half-inch strips.

Place the colored paper on the desk, long edge toward you. On the short edge, 1 1/2 inch from the upper right-hand corner, make a dot. The same distance from the upper left-hand corner, on the short edge, make another, and draw a line connecting the dots.

On the short edge, 1 1/2 inch from the lower right-hand corner, make a dot. The same distance from the lower left-hand corner make a dot on the short edge. Draw a line connecting the dots. (Fig. 2.)

Make a row of dots 1/2 inch apart across each long edge and join the dots with lines.

In weaving, the cream-colored strips are lengthwise and the colored strips are all crosswise.

Cross a white and a colored strip of paper where the pencil lines crosses the strips. Add strips inside of the first two, weaving over and under, as in Fig. 3.

When all the strips have been woven, turn the 1 1/2-inch ends all down on one side. Weave these ends in under the strips in the main weaving. (Figs. 4 and 5.)

When the little ends are all fastened in, turn the two short ends of the mat back. Fasten them within an inch of each other with ribbon. (Fig. 6.)

The ends should be fastened to the under part; not to each other.
