An illustrated 1932 magazine article on handicraft projects for Girl Scouts. The main project is leaf-print textile squares: pressed autumn leaves are pinned to muslin, the background is sprayed or splattered with India ink, and the leaf shapes are colored with wax crayons and set with a steam iron. Photo captions also show Girl Scouts weaving on old looms and primitive cord looms at camps, making patchwork quilts, pottery, basketry, a sampler book cover, a paper ballet backdrop, and a decorated tepee. There are no weaving drafts.
