Birch Bark Garland
We helped some friends split & stack wood a while back. The reward was a pile of birch bark that had fallen off. I took them, not knowing for sure what they would be for. My husband has learned not to even ask. He knows that I'm a junker.
I traced a star shape onto the bark, then carefully cut them out with a good strong pair of scissors.
Dreamy, right? I sold two strands at the craft fair right away. They had 12 stars on each strand and were about 8 feet long. I really wanted them on my tree, so now I have to make more!
