Hi all!<\/p>\n

As we quickly approach the start of a beautiful holiday season, I thought I’d share a quick project for those of you who are looking to dress up your table-scape this Thanksgiving (or Christmas). This is a quick and easy idea for those work\/dinner\/church\/just-for-fun type parties coming up this winter.<\/p>\n

\"place_cards\"<\/p>\n

Here’s what you need to do:<\/p>\n

Supplies:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cutting shears<\/strong> – something that will cut through twigs\/small branches<\/p>\n

Regular Cutting Scissors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hot glue gun<\/strong> – or any type of strong adhesive<\/p>\n

Paper<\/strong> – holiday themed craft paper<\/p>\n

Twine<\/strong>– optional<\/p>\n

_______________________________________________________<\/p>\n

Step-by-step<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1) Grab your cutting shears and head outside and gather up some sticks, branches, pine needles, foliage. Beware of thorns or critters \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

2.) Trim down your branches and foliage to the size you desire.<\/p>\n

3.) Trim off all those little needles to reveal just a branch. I used branches from pine bushes but if you have a bare tree, those branches work just as well.<\/p>\n

4.) Trim down the branches to your 3″ – 4″ lengths.<\/p>\n

5.) “Sandwich” 2 sticks together and adhere with a dot of hot glue on both ends. Add in a small bit of foliage to one side and again adhere with a dot of glue. You can also tie it all in with using twine.<\/p>\n

*** Note, I’m not sure how long these will sit considering they are made of natural elements. Mine were created over 24 hours ago, and are still in perfect condition.<\/p>\n

Hope you give this project a try! Happy Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
