fluffyfascinatingfunartisticworthwhilealive We had a standing room only class where teams chose one of 15 grab bags with tanned hides & various products made from that animal. For example; sheepskin + WWII bomber hat + Russian border guard hat + mittens + child's winter coat + shepherd's bag - all made from sheepskin.
The scouts made leather pouches with stamped name tags and decorated with crocodile, diamondback rattlesnake, elephant, fox, mink, porcupine quills, python, rabbit & raccoon tails.
Kudos & a big thanks to all who contributed to the class & workshop!!!
