TREATMENT FOR FLEUR DE LIS 
Katherin Livermore 
BURN outlines — For lower background burn deep lines, following general 
outline of ornament, upper background stippled. Stain upper petals of

Keep the coloring very delicate.

endless ways. Perforated leather is especially adapted to pillow tops, library 
table covers and mats and opera bags, or monograms.

upon your leather, proceed to stain, paint or burn it (according to direction 
given for each), let work thoroughly dry, then cut out design with sharp 
scissors to insure clean cut edges, and apply to ground of another leather 
withglue. Should the design be simply burned and applied, burn over the edges 
again after glue is set and dry, allowing the point to touch the ground leather as
