Jonnie Hartman came up with some clever ideas using recycled tree branches.

BRANCH STAR BURST MIRROR

Tools and Supplies needed…

Branches, branch cutters, wooden craft disk, craft mirror, hot glue, drill and small drill bit.

HOW TO:

1. Snip branches to desired length.

2. Measure circumference of wooden craft disk and mark how far to drill each hole apart. Ours was 22.5 inches around and we drilled a hole every 2.25 inches.

3. Paint wood the desired color. We used regular craft paint.

4. Hot glue branches into pre drilled holes.

5. Glue craft mirror on with glue for slick surfaces. We used GOOP.

6. If the mirror is small you can attach it to the wall without nails by using industrial velcro.

JEWELRY TREE

Tools and supplies needed…

Branch that is sturdy enough to hold jewelry, branch snippers, vase, floral foam, hot glue, sand and or rocks.

1. Cut branch to desired length, paint if desired.

2. Cut floral foam to fit bottom of vase.

3. Hot glue foam into bottom of vase, push branch into vase and foam.

4. Cover foam inside vase with sand and or rocks.
