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.

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!

  1. I actually have a twig-and-yarn wall hanging idea I've been playing with. I'm going to try it for sure now. (I especially like your woven variation.)
