Paper Cases for Individual Charlottes

Procure half a dozen sheets of cap or fine book paper, which is like writing paper not ruled, and make a pattern for the paper cases by fitting a band of paper to the outside of a very small tumbler, such as is used for Roman punch, or some similar small shape. The band of paper, when cut to fit, will form a curve. Cut as many such pieces as are needed from the sheets, and then, placing three or four together, cut both top and bottom edges into fringe a quarter of an inch or less in depth. Make some corn starch paste very stiff, and paste the ends of the bands together, forming cup shapes, then cut around the edges, press the fringe bottom edges of the cups on to the paste, the fringe bent outward, and the shapes are made.
