Sunburst Twig Wreath Tutorial

Sunburst Twig Wreath Tutorial

How stunning! Gather sticks from your yard and follow along with this Sunburst Twig Wreath Tutorial. It’s not hard to do and costs pennies to make. Plus the rustic look is just right for fall around hear. Mine will probably start catching falling leaves soon, thus “decorating” itself… Added to Nature Crafts.

Today it’s very cold outside so I’m ready to help out our little feathered visitors by making a Cheerios Bird Feeder. It’s super simple and uses food from your pantry. Great to do with the kids. They can see the different types of birds that come in the different seasons. It’s fascinating. Added to Kids Crafts and Nature Crafts

Festive Suet for the Birds

Time to start putting out suet for the birds here. Why not try making your own Festive Suet? It’s easy and you can add a variety of  bird-safe food items to make it even more, well, festive.  The birds will love it and you may see some species you’ve never seen before. I love when that happens! Added to Nature Crafts

Don’t know about you, but I’ve been picking up sticks out of my yard all week (and acorns, but that’s another craft!) and now I know what to do with them. I’ll make Rudolf the Woodland Reindeer.  Hmm, I might make the whole set of reindeer – Donner, Blitzen, etc. Though I suppose they’ll need brown noses. Hey – acorns are brown…
