Ever wished you could find out how to thriftily make useful and beautiful things to share with your friends and family?Grow your own brooms, baskets, jewellery, containers or whatever you need. You won’t need to buy them from shops any more!There are so many happiness-inducing craft projects that start with planting a seed. For example, I’ll explain the way I’ve made containers from gourds, jewellery from seeds called Job’s tears, baskets from cattail bulrushes and brooms from sorghum. All home grown.
