Crafting with Twigs

During the fall, the sidewalks are abundant with leaves and twigs. I notice these as I wait at the bus stop, and my mind races with ideas on how to possibly craft with them.

Here are a few ways I've turned twigs from blah to TADA!:

A macrame' wall hanging. It's traditionally made with rope but yarn was what I had on hand.  

Another wall decor using a weaving technique.

Here's another idea:

We'll need a twig.

And some fabric remnants...no sewing necessary. The frayed edges add rustic personality.

And fabric markers. It's a clever application for brush calligraphy or bounce lettering.

With hand stitching, sew a pocket for the twig.

A few meters of thread makes for an instant hanging device.

A simple decoration that can be personalized for the home or dorm room...TADA!
