Decorative and Useful Clip<\/strong><\/p>\n

Miss Dale told me that my Whistle Whittling blog was too long last week so I’m going to try to do a shorter one this week.<\/p>\n

To make this clip you will need a fairly thick branch (this one is sycamore), a pruning saw or something similar, a whittling knife, a cut resistant glove, some sand paper and a sprung wooden peg.<\/p>\n

Saw off two discs, about 1 cm thick, from the end of your branch.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wear your cut resistant glove and use your whittling knife to remove the bark and to slightly round off the edges of your discs of wood.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sand your discs, first with coarse sand paper to remove all the rough bits and then use the finer sand paper to smooth the wooden discs.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once you are satisfied that the discs are smooth, you can paint one of them with a design of your choice.\u00a0 I chose a daisy and varnished it once it was dry.\u00a0 Then I glued both discs to either side of a wooden peg, using wood glue and left it to dry.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I stuck my clip onto the inside of my kitchen sink cupboard door, using sticky fixers, so that I could hang my rubber gloves up.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
