- The girls made dolls out of old clothes. They got paper and made several pleats in it and when opened out & tied at one and this made a fan.
To make a necklace they gathered a bunch of daisies took the stems off, and strung the blossoms on to a length of twine, with a needle. They also made little chains with Dandelion stems.Gordon Wilson Long ago boys used to make baskets from chestnuts They used to cut a bib off both sides of the chestnut top, leaving a handle in the middle, and then scoop out the pulp. They used to sex snares near a rabbit burrow and then they would go out next morning to get the rabbits To make the snare they got a long piece of wire, about twice the thickness of a piece of thread and double[?] for 4 times and [?], and left a wee loop on one end, for the other end to go through.If your leg goes asleep spit on your hough.- Collector
