Gettin' Twiggy Wit It

After all the Christmas decorations come down in my house I love to use twigs and branches to decorate.  I like it a little more spare after all the excesses of Christmas.

A little spray paint in the color Chrome did the trick this year!  Find a great branch with lots of interest and spray 'em up! Set it on your mantle or a shelf in a simple display to highlight it's natural beauty...as natural as a chrome-colored twig can be!

Spring Twigs

Remember in the winter we decorated with twigs?



Well, let's spring them up with some scrapbook paper and hot glue!

Supplies:

Scrapbook paper
Hot glue
Scissors
Twigs

Cut your leaf shapes out in pairs. I made a template from cardboard then traced onto the back of scrapbook paper and cut them out.



Next, hot glue those babies onto the ends of the twigs all willy nilly:



There. A little whimsical touch of spring for your window!
