crafting with grandma - Twig Crafts!

What do you get when you combine a yard with a fair amount of trees and a windy  winter/spring? A yard with many branches and twigs all over it just waiting to be picked up! So, I am planning to have my grandsons help pick up sticks and small branches next week when they are here, then we will use these sticks and twigs to make some fun things!

I looked on  Pinterest and found a great site with 20 ideas for making things with sticks, twigs and branches . . . the perfect site for me to get some ideas for stick projects; considering all the sticks, twigs and branches in my yard! Follow this link for ideas - and info to make some of your own!

If you do not have a yard full of trees - and twigs, sticks and branches, take a walk in a woods or park and you are sure to find no lack of them waiting to be collected!

Which ideas do you like the best? I'm most interested in the twig lampshade, the branch towel racks and the twig picture frame. Enjoy!
