crafting with grandma - Twig Crafts!

What do you get when you combine a yard with a fair amount of trees and Springtime? A yard with many branches and twigs all over it just waiting to be picked up! If this describes your yard, then pick up sticks and small branches and then 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 from; considering all the sticks, twigs, and branches in my yard! Follow this link for ideas - and info to make some of your own - involve the children you love in collecting sticks and making their own creations, too!

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!
