Check out these twig crafts that are perfect for both kids and adults! Discover creative ideas for decor, holidays, and more, all ideal for beginners. Just the other day, while exploring my front yard, I observed something interesting. Our neighborhood’s landscaping crew had recently trimmed the bushes and trees.
I noticed a couple of things after the trimming was completed. First, my Japanese maple wasn’t trimmed, and second, the trimmings were left behind. I began gathering all the leftover branches to create a pile in a corner of the front yard, knowing the landscaping crew would pick it up when I leave it there. Additionally, I started trimming the maple myself and adding those clippings to the pile.
That’s when it hit me – I might not want to just toss all the trimmings into a pile for the landscapers. Among the refuse, there are some great twigs and branches that I could use for crafting! As a nature craft enthusiast, I often find myself holding onto things that might seem unnecessary. And sure enough, years later, as I’m organizing my craft supplies, I’ll come across those very sticks and remember why I kept them.
