A. has half term so I have been trying to come up with different projects for her, and one of them was to create a little autumn decoration. We did this leaf one together (last photo) couple of years ago ( it used to be our annual tradition with my sister when we were kids) but this year I wanted try something different. Very simple, you can use different colours or shapes. We used rowan red berries, paper and elastic transparent string ( not sure what's the correct name). Anya loved it and only pricked her finger once at the end ( she is 3).
Very nice ideas, I like them a lot. Simple ways to catch the beauty of nature and bring it home. I recently made some chestnut animals and they lived on my sideboard for weeks, making me smile every time I looked at them. x
ReplyDeletei especially love the leaf idea! who would have known leaves could be strung like that? i have only seen them pressed between wax paper.
