These little tags take advantage of the natural look of that great craft basic, craft paper and adds a little fun with singed edges. Perfect for Halloween or Harvest labels, they are simple and fun to make. **

Things you’ll need:
Craft paper bags
Scissors
Hole punch
Candle and match
Hemp twine

1. Cut the paper bag into appropriately sized rectangles. Err on the side of a little big, they will be slightly smaller after singeing.

2. Light the candle and lightly run the edges of the paper through the flame, immediately blowing the flame out if the paper catches. The goal is to darken and roughen the edges of the labels only.
3. Punch holes 1/4 inch in from each side. Add text to the labels.

Twig Wreath


Fall is here, and with it the cooler weather has inspired a lot of long walks in our house. The ground around out house these days is scattered with fallen leaves and twigs and I’m always impressed by the simple beauty of them. This projects takes the humble stick and turns it into something beautiful for your home. What could be better?

Things you’ll need:
Flat or wire wreath form
Twigs, sticks and thin branches
Branch clippers
Hot glue gun and glue sticks or craft glue

Things to do:
1. Trim all of your sticks and twigs to approximately the same length. The length depends on the width of your wreath and final look you want, but don’t be too fussy about keeping them all the same, you want some variation.


2. Lay your wreath form on a flat, covered work surface and, using the glue, attach a stick at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 points on the circle, centering each. These will be your guide points and will help keep your remaining sticks even and straight.

3. Place sticks at equal points between the four already attached, breaking up the wreath further to create eight, approximately even sections.
4. Working section by section, fill in the wreath, keeping the sticks relatively even with each other as you go.

5. Clean up any glue threads and check that all of your sticks have adhered well before hanging.
