Description
Welcome to the Craftsteading Podcast - "Making stuff from plants you grow, forage or buy."
It’s about self-sufficiency and handcrafts and gardening. It’s about prepping for the apocalypse or relaxing with therapeutic mindful handcrafts.
Are you looking for something engrossing to take your mind off daily worries? Would you like to learn a relaxing but exciting new skill or craft? Ever wished you could find out how to thriftily make useful and beautiful things to share with your friends and family?
Plants have a lot of other uses besides being edible or medicinal. From dyes, botanical jewellery, broom making, weaving, basketry, lighting, wax, resin, rope, string, to soap oil paint, perfume, musical instruments and much more.
I’ll tell you about the amazing ways you can use plants from your garden, or foraged from the wild. Your very own home-grown or gathered raw materials.
You can learn how to use simple handcrafts that are sometimes lost or forgotten, the very same methods your ancestors used.
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.
And if you’re not into gardening , no stress, you can buy supplies from craft stores or online.
