You can wrap just about anything in twine to make it look rustic. For instance, you can make some cool candy cane ornaments for the Christmas tree. It’s a pretty easy task. Take some plastic candy canes (it would be a shame to use actual candy), some twine and a hot glue gun. Put a dab of glue on the bottom of the cane and start wrapping twine around, making sure it’s nice and tight. Check out纳塔萨尔for tips and details.

The project featured ontiticraftyuses a technique that we like a lot. The result is a twine ball ornament. To make one you need twine, glue or mod podge, ribbon, a bowl, balloons and a glue gun. Blow up a balloon to the size that you want the ornament to have, mix glue with water in a bowl and let the twine soak, then start wrapping it around the balloon randomly. Tuck the end under the twine strings and then hang the ball somewhere until the twine dries. Pierce the balloon, remove it and finish the ornament.

The Christmas tree featured onsustainmycrafthabitlooks pretty cool. The interesting thing about is that it’s made out of driftwood. In other words, you’ll need a nice collection of twigs if you want to make a cool and rather unconventional Christmas tree like this one.

First of all, you need to find some wood slice napkin holders (we were kidding when we mentioned the logs – it would be too much work to remove their centers). Drill two holes at the top of each napkin holder and thread some twine through them. Tie it at the top. Then put a little bird nest with faux little birds inside the napkin holder.

Advent calendars can be a lot of fun to make and they’re nice decorations too. We keep coming back to them because there are just so many nice designs to choose from. There’s one onbrepurposed.porchwhich we find particularly inspiring. The project starts with a wood board, a bunch of wooden clothespins and number stickers. The board is stained and then clothespins are glued onto it maintaining the same distance between them. The stickers are then added, marking each day in December. The next step is hanging a tiny bag from each clothespin.
