Fall is a beautiful time of the year. The trees are starting to change and fall off the trees. There is the great smell of burning leaves in the air. This is a great time of the year to make nature crafts. This vase is one of these great nature crafts. I loved making this craft and have a few of them throughout the house this fall season.
Materials Needed:
-
- Sticks (1/4 inch in diameter)
- Garden clippers
- Empty plastic jar
- Thick rubber bands
- Raffia or ribbon
- Glue and pine-cones (optional)
Instructions:
-
- Break or snip sticks to about an inch longer than the jar.
- Put two rubber bands around the jar, one inch from the top and bottom. Now begin tucking the sticks under both rubber bands, placing them as close as possible to each other.
- Once the jar is surrounded with sticks, slide the rubber bands together at the jar’s middle and cover them with a decorative bow.
- Glue on a few pine-cones, then fill the vase with flowers. For campers uninterested in flower arrangements, this vessel also makes a fine pencil holder.
