Rner blog: d.i.y. braided basket. My friend Anna and I recently made a braided basket for a classroom art project at our daughters' school.
We had all the students make polymer clay beads and each donate an old t-shirt. We braided the t-shirts along with some extra jersey fabric we bought, threading on the beads every 18" or so, then sewed the giant braid into a basket (Anna did the braiding, I did the sewing). Time consuming? Absolutely. But it was a sweet piece that did pretty well at our school auction last weekend. Step 2, preparing the fabric: Baste stitch three t-shirt strips together at a time to form longer pieces.
Step 3, start braiding: Sew the ends of two different t-shirt strips to the end of one of the jersey strips. As you come to the ends of the t-shirt fabric pieces, attach new pieces to the old with a quick stitch or two so you can continue braiding. DIY T-shirt slippers.

Pflanzenrezepte. Spruce Gum. Ninety years ago, a person could walk into almost any general store in America, plop down a penny or two, and pick up a trim little package of spruce chewing gum.
There was even a choice of brands, such as Kennebec, Yankee, 200Lump, and American Flag ... to name just a few. People were accustomed to the unsweetened, woodsy taste of spruce gum, and their demand for it supported a thriving industry boasting nationwide distribution. But then came the "modern" chews—which were softer, sweeter, and less expensive to manufacture—and they soon took over the market.
By 1910 the spruce gum industry had been reduced to little more than a few "kitchen stove" operations with very small outputs and only scattered distribution. And so it remains to this day. Find It! The limited availability of the prepared product need not stand in the way, however, of your spruce gum enjoyment, since it's actually quite easy to make your own! Varnish.
