We love to decorate our home with elements of nature. The shapes, forms and textures of the natural world are wonderful to craft with, readily available, and can inspire some really wonderful projects. Once you start looking you will find inspiration everywhere!
As with any sort of foraging, be mindful of what you are picking and where you are collecting from. Ensure you are not causing lasting damage to living plants, and always gain permission before foraging on private land. Below are 3 wonderful craft projects to bring a bit of nature into your home.
This great tutorial shows you step by step instructions on how to decorate a flower pot with Birch Bark, and is a lovely way to bring a bit of nature into your home.
Bring the woodland inside with our Twig Chandelier, it makes a stunning, natural centerpiece that can be decorated in so many different ways to reflect the seasons.
This wonderful gardenย toadstool living sculpture is made from moss, recycled chicken wire and succulents. It’s really simple to make, and would look perfect in a wild corner of your garden.
