Branch art

I love crafts. 

I love crafts even more when my husband is excited to do them with me :)

We decided to create branch art:

1. Get some yarn and hemp. Optional: You can also use ribbon to hang your finished art.

2. Gather some sticks

3. Break the branches into smaller, even pieces

4. You will need to make a donut shape base. We made this one out of a thin piece of wood but you could use cardboard as well.

5. Trace two circles to form a donut. 

6. Cut the shape out.

Michael used a jigsaw, but if you used cardboard scissors should work fine. 

7. Start wrapping the base with string or hemp

8. You will need to cover all the wood/cardboard. You can add hemp or other string for texture.

9. Hot glue the branches to the base. 

10. Hang it up and ta da! art :)

Our inspiration came from a door wreath but it turned into a huge piece of art. 

To make it for the front door, use a small base and short branches. The base should be the size of a salad plate and the branches around 2 feet. 

Happy crafting!!
