How to make a model Crannog
How to make a model Crannog
What we needed: raffia, straw, twigs and wood. We made an eight star base of wood and put in a centre post. We got some cocktail sticks, then stuck at the ends of the wood. We put twigs over the floor then covered it in moss. Then we wove raffia in and out of the cocktail sticks. We built a frame of twigs for the roof, we tied straw together to make bails that were then tied on the roof.
