The use of birch bark has a long history. Native Americans used birch bark for sewing, basketry, canoes, scrolls, food containers, and musical instruments. There were medicinal and ritual uses for birch bark as well.
Today, birch bark can be used in many types of craft projects.
Bop shows us how to harvest birch bark and how to prepare it for use in pressed flower art. The birch bark can be stripped even further than what is shown in the video.
