Waking up in the mountains is so refreshing.
The air was clean and the sky was blue and the sun was so warm!
My mom and I went on a little walk through our 'back yard' and I found a bunch of these black, charred twigs. I thought this would be an easy project with very few supplies, that was wintery, but really pretty and kind of magical just in time for Christmas.
Supplies:
Hurricane, or any simple glass container with a straight shape
Candle
Twigs
Scissors
1 Rubber Band
Thread, twine, ribbon, or string
After you have collected all of your twigs, measure your glass and cut, or break your twigs to the appropriate height, since I snapped my twigs by hand, they varied in height a little bit, but I really like that look!
Put your rubber band around the glass and put the twigs in place around the glass.
Once you have all of your twigs in place, wrap your thread over the rubber band and as much as you like until you are satisfied with the look of it all.
Tie off the thread, and CAREFULLY cut the rubber band, and gently pull it out from under the thread.
Light Candle and ENJOY!!
A few hours later when the flame has burned down a little bit, the twigs have made an amazing silhouette...
I am so ready for my computer to be back and running like it used to be! Virus killed it for awhile, it is down to the bare bones now...
I am waiting to get my photo programs back up!!
