Craft Ideas Mary Lyon, the host of DIY Crafts, makes a boat from half a walnut shell. Materials:
Hot-glue gun and glue
Walnuts
Toothpicks
Paper
Nutcracker
Scissors
- Split a walnut in half, being careful not to break the shell. Remove the nut meat. The boat will be made from a walnut-shell half.
- Cut a triangular piece of paper to provide a sail or flag in proportion to the size of the walnut shell. Hot-glue it to the top third of a toothpick.
- Hot-glue the other end of the toothpick inside one end of the walnut shell to make a mast or sail for the boat (figure A).
Wood-Shaving Frame Mary also demonstrated a wood frame decorated with cedar shavings. The cedar adds a wonderful scent to a room (figure B).
