    Tallow
    Get a mould and a stand and make a hole in the stand for the mould and melt the tallow in a jug. Put in the wick made of cotton thread and pour the tallow into the mould. Let it in the mould until it is set then pull out the candle.
    Basket
    Tie the top of the twings with a cord. Plat the twigs around the bow and it is made.
    Dyeing
    There are several sorts of dye. Get the dye, boil it on the fire and put in the clothes. Let them there for a while and wash them with clean water.
