Questionable Crafts from March 1974

There were two projects in the March 1974 issue of Workbasket Magazine that I found questionable.  It doesn't mean that these might turn out perfectly fine when done but, well...you be the judge.

First up:  A Jump Rope.   Made out of bread bags.

At first this seems like an excellent recycling project but it seems like it might be too light-weight or just not swing that well.   And then you add in the masking tape ends and a fringe cut from other wrappers and you what seems like a messy rope.

The other "interesting" project is called  Creative Containers.   
This has you simmering eggshells in a dye and then rinsing and drying them.   Then you attach them to your vase or pencil holder or clip holder.     Don't forget the razor blade to cut a bottle to make a vase!    I love their suggested color choices; cocoa brown, gold, kelly green and tangerine.

Next week I'll have some fun ads from the March 1974 issue.  Here's a preview with an ad for some rugs that I think are pretty cool.
