    Old Crafts
    Basket
    To make a basket
    you would get twigs and put them into water to keep them fresh. Get a flat board and hole it around in a ring then put the thick ends of the twigs into the holes, and get another twig and weave them in and out. When one twig is finished put in the next twig two twigs back from where the other one finished.
    Skees
    Make a round bow and plat the twigs in and out then make a flat bottom and match it to the upper of the skee and it is made.
    Dying
    Put down water and leave it get hot then mix the dye with it.
