Before you begin:
Do take out the time to redraw the design. I have simply traced out the design not giving importance to perfection and symmetry. I was  in my trace out as many designs as possible in a day phase when I traced this 22 yrs ago.

In the second diagram, I have drawn a line in the center of the main design.  Use this line to align your design.  First draw the left hand side of the design.  Then fold it along the line after darkening the lines of the design. Now, trace the right hand side of the design from the wrong side of the paper.  You now have a perfectly symmetrical design.

Uses:
