Crafting and upcycling ideas

Why not convert an old yarn cone into a container for nesting material? Just stuff it full of wool (there’s plenty out there on the barbed wire fences) and hang it from a tree! You can put shredded paper, bits of yarn, feathers and other cosy items in there too, just make sure not to use any synthetic or plastic-based yarn.

Amanda has been using Scrappies fabrics to make costumes for the National Trust property at Berrington Hall. Here are a couple of lovely dresses she has made.
