Sewing is a very useful skill to have but what if you can't get to the store? Let's make a needle from bone!
Here's one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Make a needle from a bone
- Sharp on one end
- Thread hole in the other end
- Diameter of the ink tube in a ball point pen or smaller
- This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- The bone you're starting with
- Midway through making needle
- Finished needle next to a ball point pen ink tube for size comparison
