Do you have at home plenty of branches, pinecones and different stones? We do because we are always tempted to bring something lovely at home after a nice walk in the forest. If that would be something beautiful that only the nature can create, interesting material or precious memory from a nice place. This time at home we happened to have some fir twigs and that’s how the idea of making these interesting Christmas cards came true.

COMPLEXITY: very easy
TIME: 15 min.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED: Fresh spruce or fir twigs / White or colored paper sheets / crayon / marker / thin metal wire / thread / a pencil / ruler / scissors / stapler

INSTRUCTIONS:

On the paper measure and mark the size of the card that you want to create.
Cut out the rectangle and fold it in half. Write your wishes inside the folded card.
Make a circle with one twig and tie the ends with metal wire or thread.
Attach the prepared circle to the card on several places using the stapler.
You should give the card quickly while the twigs are still fresh and the aroma of the forest could still be smelled.
