[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 3/14/18

[Sharon Hooley]

well, my sister helped me to make fish for a hanging mobile using those soda can combined plastic loops that hold six-packs.  What you do is  cut the loops apart in such a way that you’ll have one whole ring attached to half of another, meaning that you will have made three fish.  You can use them to make a hammock too.

I understand that some people use wind screens, maybe like plastic canvas?  I have a stash of oxygen tubes I’d like to use, maybe for coiled baskets.  I think I got the idea from years ago when I was on this list before I unsubscribed.
